Based on Tiziano Sclavi's novel that also inspired the popular Italian comic Dylan Dog, the film blends zombie horror with existential philosophy, romantic tragedy, and surrealist dark comedy in a way that defies easy categorization. Soavi, a protégé of both Dario Argento and Terry Gilliam, crafted some of the most visually stunning sequences in Italian horror, including a motorcycle ride through an ossuary that feels like a Gothic fever dream. Despite limited theatrical release, the film has been championed by directors like Martin Scorsese and is widely regarded as one of the last great Italian horror films.
