“Cemetery Man”: The Last of the Great Italian Knock-Offs
Facets Night School presents
Cemetery Man (directed by Michele Soavi, 1994)
Rupert Everett (“The Madness of King George”) stars in this horror-comedy (based on the best-selling novel by Tiziano Sclavias) as a hapless Italian groundskeeper who has a cemetery full of vengeful dead who won’t stay dead, including the woman he loves (Anna Falchi, “The City of Lost Children”). Facets Media Relations Coordinator Patrick Ogle looks at this acclaimed, though oft-overlooked, zombie fave, digging into zombie symbiotics, symbols and signs of the living dead, and how the film falls into the great Italian horror tradition.
