Being the only next of kin, she inherits the place, but no one will take her there as the local superstitions state that the area is…DAMNED. Only one man will embark on such a dangerous and long journey…A stranger that oddly seems to know quite a bit about her history…But once arrived the guide mysteriously disappears, forcing Marie to explore the derelict location alone. She discovers someone else on the property…A man named Nikolai, who claims to have been lured there exactly in the same manner, so he could discover the truth behind his unknown past as well. They become stranded in the immense compound, plagued by terrifying, ghostly visions…The problem is that the ghosts that wander around are THEIR OWN. Dead versions of themselves marauder between the buildings in the night…Time begins to move in reverse as history re-lives itself in front of their very eyes. While both their ghosts, illustrating how they will die, patiently await their living counterparts to expire. A cycle of horror comes to fruition, as they are revealed the reason they have been summoned for this perverse reunion…And the brutal secret behind their family. |
Cemetery Man (1994)Thursday, March 18th, 2010 |
|
This movie is based on a novel of Tiziano Sclavi, and it always reflects the “sclavian philosophy” diffused by the most succesful comics in Italy: Dylan Dog, the detective of the nightmare. There is the duality between love and dead (in Italian “dellamore” means “of love” and “dellamorte” means “of death”), a duality that Dellamorte feels in a really hard way. He is the guardian of the cemetery of Buffalora, a little town in the north of Italy, in which, we don’t know why, corpses rise from tombs and Dellamorte has to destroy them. Dellamorte seems not to ask to himself why this happen, he shoots and loves. But at the end he wants to leave Buffalora… |
