(M. Ryan Fairbanks, 2009-07-08) Easily one of the better movies in the vast and varied Fulci filmography, The House by the Cemetery is one of the man's shining moments in horror. When a man moves his family into the titular house by the cemetery to continue a deceased colleague's research, he and his family discover the truth about their new home: Dwelling in the cellar is Dr. Freudstein, a zombie that keeps himself alive by sewing the fresh parts of his victims onto his own body. House by the Cemetery is a perfect example of a horror movie in the Fulci style. Paper thin plot, loads of gore, and thick atmosphere are all combined successfully to make a movie that's both entertaining and at times genuinely creepy. Great cinematography of the graveyard and the mansion are also nice touches that add a lot. House by the Cemetery is a movie in which you can acutally see Fulci progressing as a film maker, if only slightly. The only real aspect that weighs House by the Cemetery down is the infamously bad voice acting/dubbing for the character "Bob", which is indeed one of the most grating and annoying voices ever recorded. Apart from that this is Fulci at his very finest. Highly recommended.
(Elizabeth, 2009-07-03) Ok, this is not quite as good as The Beyond, but I prefer Fulci's wacky The House By The Cemetery. Not alot of the plot makes sense, the kid's dubbing is terrible, and the bat is very much a rubber one. But if you are a fan of Italian Horror, then none of this matters, of course. Here Fulci really goes for broke in a way that modern film makers are often afraid to. Plenty of gore, fantastic composition, camera angles, and creepy music more than make up for "Just exactly what the hell is going on?" See it, it will stick with you.
(ilovevictoriaprincipal, 2009-06-24) Hilarious movie with a little blonde girl called Bob, an actor with the hairiest head and face I've ever seen and a babysitter with a lisp who calls a character called Mrs. Gittleson (?) Mrs. Gittlethon. I think Fulci was still trippin' when he made this one. Absolutely insane.. just my type of movie.
(Monty Moonlight, 2009-04-16) A family takes up residence in a New England home haunted by a horrifying secret. Strange occurrences and violent deaths lead the new residents on a search for the truth as their small son's relationship with a mysterious girl only he seems to see grows more bizarre. Undeveloped/unexplained plot points abound, yet it is still pretty decent for Italian horror, despite the awful voices chosen for the dubbing of certain characters. In the end, the viewer will likely find this Fulci classic to be a fun bit of moody ghost story/horror entertainment, though with quite a few questions left unanswered or ideas left open to interpretation. Get set for some over-the-top gore moments and a few goofy ones too, but I've seen much worse on both counts. Worth picking up if you are into Fulci, mystery/ghost stories, or Italian horror in general. The Blue Underground DVD has some nice extras with this widescreen presentation. The audio doesn't sound quite perfect though. You get a U.S. and an International theatrical trailer, a TV spot, a short gallery in the much appreciated and underused thumbsaving slideshow format, and text bios of the filmmakers. You may be left a little confused by "House by the Cemetery", or maybe not if you don't mind a shortage of plot exposition, but you will probably still have fun watching it.
