The House by the Cemetery (Italian: Quella villa accanto al cimitero) is a 1981 Italian supernatural horror film directed by Lucio Fulci and is the third instalment of the unofficial Gates of Hell trilogy which also includes City of the Living Dead and The Beyond Its plot revolves around a series of murders taking place in a New England home - a home which happens to be hiding a particularly gruesome secret within its basement walls. Themes and motifs from popular horror films such as The Shining, The Amityville Horror and Frankenstein are readily on display.

The film stars Catriona MacColl, Paolo Malco, Ania Pieroni, Giovanni Frezza, Silvia Collatina and Dagmar Lassander. Dr. Jacob Freudstein is played by Giovanni De Nava, who appears in the Fulci film The Beyond as 'Joe the plumber'.

This movie was declared a video nasty.

Not Fulci's best, but as with all his films, it has amazing visuals and lots of gore. There is a deranged killer living in the basement and he occassionally pops out to decapitate some and mangle others. As with all Fulci films, it can be a bit obtuse and confusing, but always entertaining.

7.5/10

as baumer said, this film is a bit confusing at times and isn't fulci's best, but it's still very fun and dr. freudstein is downright creepy, and the dubbing of the voice for bob is hilarious, but i think that adds to the movie's charm.

B+/A-
