Part of Midnight Movies: "Fulci-uary." See also: ZOMBIE
The Boyles thought leaving behind the hustle and bustle of New York City was exactly what they needed to reduce stress and improve their life as a family. But that was before they moved into... THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY! Once the site of diabolical experiments and horrifying crimes by the mysterious Dr. Freudstein, the house still holds secrets to this day. Murder, mayhem, monstrosities, and the macabre can all be found just behind the door of... THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY! Starring Catriona MacColl (THE BEYOND, THE GATES OF HELL) and Ania Pieroni (INFERNO, TENEBRAE), with special gore and makeup effects by Gianetto de Rossi and Maurizio Trani.
“As with previous entries in the loosely linked “Gates of Hell” trilogy (CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE BEYOND), with their concern for the all-too-porous boundaries between the living and the dead, Fulci refracts influences both cinematic (THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, THE SHINING) and literary (Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw, any number of Gothic-inflected haunted-house tales) through the lens of his own darkly poetic sensibility.” —Budd Wilkins, Slant
"The unrated movie has gore, blood, decapitations, a giant bat, and maggots. It's pretty entertaining.” —Michael J. Weldon, The Psychotronic Video Guide
“THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY is the kind of movie that deserves to be shown in the middle of the night, not because it's scary (it isn't) but because it's so gratuitous and maddening that only sleep deprivation can put you in the right mindset for the Italian bloodbath that awaits you.” —Lance Conzett, Nashville Scene
