Dellamorte certainly has much more to do with the Dylan Dog comics than the US movie. A number of people basically consider it "the real Dylan Dog movie."
I just wish the novel and more works by the author were published in English. From my understanding, the movie is kind of a hodgepodge of different works and ideas. I don't know what Francesco Dellamorte's original personality was like, but Wikipedia makes it sound like he's the Italian equivalent to Dylan Dog. The filmmakers must have thought the two characters were similar enough to borrow Dylan Dog's appearance directly out of the comics—right down to the use of Rupert Everett whom Dylan was modeled after. (Not that Ratty doesn't know any of this, but for anyone else interested.)
But yeah, there's a nice big tome of Dylan comics that came out a few years ago. It was around $16–17 for nearly 700 pages. I snatched that up right away; seems it might be OOP now. Some of the most fun I've had reading comics.
Dellamorte Dellamore is just...yeah. It was a total blind buy when it came out on DVD some years back because some horror buffs were talking about it being like THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER and how it was almost more of a tragic romantic comedy than a horror film, so I saw it cheap online and it became one of my favorite movies on first watch. Just got the Italian Blu-ray for it so that was a treat to see.
Aaaaaaaaaaaas for the
Evil Dead remake, it's a ton of fun. No idea how it'll stand up to multiple rewatchings, but I liked it enough to see it twice so far. Its use of practical gore effects is downright amazing. However, it has zero atmosphere to speak of. Just kind of abandons all that for a rollercoaster thrill ride, which is too bad considering the first two movies had such heavy atmosphere and moments of true dread (yes, even the second one despite its slapstick comedic leanings).
And it has the greatest after-credits sequence ever:
The screen's black, some music starts to quietly play, you see the silhouetted profile view of a big-chinned man that's slowly lit, at which point he says "Groovy" and flashes his face to the camera before cutting out. It makes me hope it's more of a teaser for a sequel to Army of Darkness than just a totally amazing cameo.
