In this small Italian town, corpses inexplicably rise from their graves and Dellamorte must destroy them to prevent further disturbance.

Summary
Dellamorte Dellamore is a 1994 Italian horror-comedy directed by Michele Soavi, based on the 'sclavian philosophy' from Tiziano Sclavi's comics featuring Dylan Dog, the detective of the nightmare. The film centers around the enigmatic duality between love and death, as experienced by its protagonist Franco Dellamorte. Despite being a comedy-horror, it explores themes of existential weariness and isolation.
