Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett), with his childlike assistant Gnaghi (François Hadji-Lazaro), manages a cemetery where the dead inexplicably revive after a week in the ground.

The film is half black comedy, packed with morbid humour. The zombie count only rises as the body count does, and boy does it rise; there are three separate romances between human and zombie.

Unfortunately, the other half is surreal dream-logic. Dellamorte falls in love a woman (Anna Falchi), then starts seeing her everywhere. There is a bizarre castration subplot and the film ends with a trip down a road to nowhere.

Like nothing I've ever seen and like nothing I ever want to see again.
