Summary
Francesco Dellamorte is the weary caretaker of an Italian cemetery where the recently buried inexplicably rise as the living dead, forcing him and his simple-minded assistant Gnaghi to dispatch them each night. As Francesco falls for a series of women who all seem to be the same haunting beauty, the line between reality, madness, and death dissolves into surreal black comedy.
Released in 1994, Cemetery Man is a comedy and horror film. Inside comedy it is classed as Dark Comedy.
4,081 other films from the 1990s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 684 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 170 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 174 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Cemetery Man lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 170.
