Francesco Dellamorte Rupert Everett is the cemetery caretaker in the small Italian town of Buffalora. He lives in a ramshackle house on the premises, constantly surrounded by death, with only his mentally handicapped assistant Gnaghi Franois HadjiLazaro for company. Young punks in town spread gossip that Dellamorte is impotent. His hobbies are reading outdated telephone directories, in which he crosses out the names of the deceased, and trying to assemble a puzzle shaped like a human skull. Gnaghi, whose interests include spaghetti and television, can speak only one word Gna.The Latin inscription over the Buffalora Cemetery gate reads RESURRECTURIS For those who will rise again, and indeed, Dellamorte has had his hands full of late. Some people rise from their graves on the seventh night following their death, reanimated and ready to assault the living. Dellamorte destroys these creatures, who he calls Returners, before they overrun the town. Buffaloras mayor Stefano Masciarelli is so fixated on his campaigning that he seems unable even to hear Dellamortes pleas for an investigation. In any event, being an outcast in the village and almost illiterate, Dellamorte doesnt want to lose the job. He opens up to his only friend, Franco, a municipal clerk, but doesnt file the paperwork necessary to get assistance Its easier just to shoot them. ........
