Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett) looks after the cemetery in a small town along with his assistant, but this is a strange graveyard where the dead return within seven days and it's up too Francesco who the locals call the engineer and think is impotent and enjoys reading old telephone books to take care of the undead or returners as Francesco calls them, unlike the directors other work this is a dark comedy dealing with love and necrophile amongst other things, it's has very surreal and dream like quality to it and for me is the Soavi best film. 9/10
Tonight's viewings are White Zombie and a double bill of the first two Howlings.
