How it scared people

The vibe

Rupert Everett plays a cemetery caretaker whose corpses keep sitting back up, a chore he handles with the weariness of a man unclogging drains. It starts as a zombie comedy and mutates, somewhere past the midpoint, into a genuinely strange essay on death and loneliness. Scorsese called it one of the best Italian films of the nineties.
