Dellamorte Dellamore finally gets a decent R1 edition - thank you, Anchor Bay!

By now, everybody must know about this weird zombie tale that occurs on a parallel universe inside a snow globe (don´t ask!). But fact is: AT LAST, it will be seen in the US uncut.

Rupert Everett stars as Francesco Dellamorte, a cemetery watchman whose job is to slaughter the living dead when they rise hungry from their graves.

Why they rise from their graves? No explanation is given, but Francesco and all the others takes this fact as matter-of-factly as possible. Oh well.

But following a tragic tryst with a lusty young widow (the stunningly gorgeous Anna Falchi in one of three sexy roles, each one with a different level of disrobing), Francisco begins to ponder the mysteries of existence. Is there long-term satisfaction in blasting the skulls of ‘returners’? Will his imbecile assistant find happiness with the partial girl-corpse of his dreams? And if death is the ultimate act of love, can a psychotic killing spree send Dellamorte to the brink of enlightenment?

Italian horror master Michele Soavi directed this brilliantly bloody black comedy, also known as Cemetery Man (a title that I hate), that Gore Score calls “a deliciously demented, delightfully surreal stew of sex, death, splatter, male-bonding, barfing, zombies and nothing less than the Ultimate Meaning of Life!”

Special Features include:

- Widescreen Presentation enhanced for 16x9 TVs
- 8-page Collectors’ Booklet
- All-new Death Is Beautiful Featurette including interviews with Star Anna Falchi, Director Michele Soavi and more
- Theatrical Trailer

It´s still unknown if Anchor Bay will port the 18-minute docu (more Falchi!) and the commentary track with director Michele Soavi and writer Gianni Romoli from Medusa's italian release. But who cares? Look at those BOOBIES!
