Reviews
The film leans into modern comedy, but it also passes through moments of genuine longing and even existential crisis.
Its appeal is mostly to an audience that can appreciate its gross-out camp humor and can overlook that it's a pointless exercise.
Cemetery Man is a surprisingly intelligent, beautifully crafted horror-comedy.
A perfect balance of comedy and tragedy, with gibbering zombies thrown in for the ride.
