Cemetery Man
Cemetery Man is a 1994 French, Italian and German psychological horror film directed by Michele Soavi.
The last great Italian horror film, and it is a romantic comedy about a man who shoots the dead for a living.

Francesco Dellamorte is the caretaker of a cemetery where the dead come back on the seventh night. He shoots them in the head and files the paperwork. Nobody in the town cares.
Michele Soavi adapts a Tiziano Sclavi novel and makes something closer to Cocteau than to Fulci: the film is about depression, boredom and the impossibility of connection, with a zombie problem treated as a tedious municipal duty.
Rupert Everett is perfect and the character was drawn to look like him years before he was cast.
Anna Falchi plays every woman he falls in love with.
The last twenty minutes abandon reality entirely and the final shot is one of the strangest and most affecting endings in the genre.
Martin Scorsese has called it one of the best Italian films of the decade.

Eerie, well made, and completely undeserving of the list. Stan Winston's effects.

The infection is carried by the English language, and the whole film happens in a radio booth.

The third of Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy and the most explicitly Lovecraftian thing he made.

The bloodiest film ever made at the time, and it is a comedy about a man and his mother.

A man is imprisoned in a room for fifteen years with no explanation, released, and given five days to find out why.

King hated it. Everyone else was right. The geography of the hotel is deliberately impossible.
