To destroy them, he must mutilate their heads -- a task easier said than done, especially when the undead fiends start popping up from the ground with increasing frequency. His plight is made considerably more pleasant when he meets and falls in love with a beautiful widow. Unfortunately, she gets attacked by the creatures and transforms into one of them. Will he kill her -- or join her? [More]

This over-rated film has developed an undeserved cult reputation, based on a handful of good elements; ufortunately, there is no plot, so all you need to see is the trailer or, at most, the first fifteen minutes.

The film leans into modern comedy, but it also passes through moments of genuine longing and even existential crisis.

Its appeal is mostly to an audience that can appreciate its gross-out camp humor and can overlook that it's a pointless exercise.

Overrated gross-out film. Never too gross, and never too funny.

Cemetery Man is a surprisingly intelligent, beautifully crafted horror-comedy.

A perfect balance of comedy and tragedy, with gibbering zombies thrown in for the ride.
