Recommendation Theatre- Cemetery Man

 A rather obscure film made in Italy and starring Rupert Everett, this film isn’t for everyone.  I had to watch it in a college class and my roommate completely hated it.  However most will peg this movie in the horror-genre and not see it for the dark absurdist comedy it truly is. 

 The story is about a man and his mentally-challenged assistant who work in a cemetery.  The problem being, the people come back to life as zombies, so the workers have to put them back in their graves.  From this central plot, the movie goes every-which way into one of the most bizarre things you could ever possibly see.  It is this consistent curve-ball absurdist flair that will turn most people off to this movie.  But if you give it a chance it has quite a few good laughs and it screams cult classic. 
 So, give the film a rent, unless everything I said already has completely turned you off from the thing, in which case ignore it and move on.
