This over-rated film has developed an undeserved cult reputation, based on a handful of good elements; ufortunately, there is no plot, so all you need to see is the trailer or, at most, the first fifteen minutes.

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.

Overrated gross-out film. Never too gross, and never too funny.

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.
