  • Dellamorte Dellamore

    March 25, 1994 (Italy), April 26, 1996 (USA)

    Dellamorte Dellamore (Italy, 1994 - Directed by Micele Soavi) aka Cemetery Man, Starring Rupert Everett, François Hadji-Lazaro, Anna Falchi. Horror, Black Comedy

    Francesco Dellamorte laments his name – Andre Dellamorte would be much better. He is the local caretaker at a small town cemetery in Italy, which entails an additional task beyond digging graves and keeping the grounds in order. Here, the dead return to life as flesh eating zombies and need to be put back where they belong, a second time. This black comedy is based loosely off of the popular italian horror detective comic, Dylan Dog, and involves romance, comedic relief from a bizarre sidekick, a very large gun, and a marvelous ossuary. Some of the best visuals, creative writing, and artistic delivery of the 1990s, and a must see for cemetery aficionados. The best black comedy since The Loved One.

    Director: Michele Soavi
    Writers: Tiziano Sclavi, Gianni Romoli
    Stars: Rupert Everett, François Hadji-Lazaro, Anna Falchi

  • Flesh For Frankenstein

    March 17, 1974

    Flesh For Frankenstein released March 17, 1974 directed by Paul Morrissey starring Udo Kier, Joe Dallesandro, Arno Jürging

    Flesh for Frankenstein is a film by Paul Morrissey produced back to back with Blood For Dracula, sharing the cast of Udo Kier, Arno Jürging and Joe Dallesandro. The interpretations of these horror classics takes on elements of 70s softcore porn, arthouse style, eurotrash culture and schlock hammer horror. Though Andy Warhol’s name is attached to the releases, this is purely out of financial consideration, with little to no artistic contribution. Filming took place at Cinecittà in Rome with an Italian crew. It was filmed in 3D, which can be evident in certain scenes even in 2D viewings when objects extend towards the viewers perspective. Not only does the film achieve a distinct visual and artistic style, but the embedded social commentary takes a clear jab at squanderous bourgeois privilege.  

    Directors: Paul Morrissey, Antonio Margheriti

    Stars: Joe Dallesandro, Udo Kier, Dalila Di Lazzaro, Arno Jürging
