Sometimes I get in the mood for a good old fashioned blood bash. I don’t mean something as pasturized as the latest “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” remakes. I don’t want something loaded down with CGI effects like “300″. I want good old latex and red-corn-syrup blood-letting. Something that could only have come out of Italy in the 1980’s. Usually when I’m in this mood I will turn to Fulci’s “Gates of Hell”, (blood by the bucketful) but I’ve worn that flick out in recent years so I turned to “House by the Cemetery”. The movie starts right out with a great splatter of the red stuff and we are off and runnin’! The first thing you will notice about this movie is the haunting score. It’s fantastic, one of the best elements of the film. The second thing you will notice is the lousy vocal dub for “Bob”??? Not sure who or what is providing that voice….but it is pretty jarring when first heard to say the least. Finally you will notice that “House” actually serves up more suspense than oozing red stuff as it plays out. There are some pretty chilling scenes sprinkled throughout the film, and the final 15 minutes is fantastic! The blood does flow, don’t get me wrong, there are several scenes to satisfy the gorehound, but the emphasis on suspense and the creepiness the underlies the entire film really make the gore secondary. If you can get past “Bob”, then you will really enjoy this film.
This is the third in a loose trilogy of films by Italian master of the macabre Lucio Fulci set in New England that evoke the uncanny and cosmic terrors of H.P. Lovecraft. The other two films “City of the Living Dead” and “The Beyond” are quite a bit better than “House by the Cemetery”, but that doesn’t mean this film is totally without merit. At times Fulci succeeds very well in creating an atmosphere of dread and fear, and the film is not without some subtle moments of terror, due mainly to an eerie soundtrack and a couple of creepy kids. But fans of Fulci and Italian horror cinema in general are not interested in the type of subtle scares one might find in English ghost stories; instead his films are marked by unusual levels of graphic violence. Although this film is not without its moments (throats ripped out, maggot ridden bodies and decapitation), the violence seems quite muted compared to other Fulci films. Fulci is perhaps aiming too strongly for the atmosphere of Lovecraft, and subsequently forgets to invest in his film the graphic and absurdly violent scenes which have afforded his work a cult following. The film as is usually the case with Fulci makes little sense and is full of continuity errors, its difficult to know whether this is down to bad editing, or an intentional effort to create an uncanny world in which time and space are confused, personally I prefer the latter possibility. There has always been something dream like and hallucinatory about Italian horror cinema and this film doesn’t disappoint on that level. By combing Freud and Frankenstein in the name of the films ostensible monster/zombie, the rotting cadaver of the once great scientist Dr. Freudstein provides an interesting connection between psychoanalysis and the scientist playing god. In light of Fulci’s career post “House by the Cemetery”, this has to be considered one of his last decent efforts.

This DVD re-issue is by Blue Underground, who seem to have acquired some of the titles of Anchor Bay’s back catalogue for re-issue. My only main grumble is with the audio, which is particularly tinny, other than that this is a good reasonably priced package.
