Cemetery Man (Dellamorte Dellamore) (1994)

Another inspirational film for me.


Gory and campy, yet sentimental film about a romantic cemetery worker who must cope with a moronic assistant and a problem with the dead rising from their graves. He shoots the zombies to keep them down, but especially has trouble when the girl he loves is killed and then returns.
