House By The Cemetery(1981).

Norman and Lucy Boyle, together with their young son Bob, move to a creepy old house in New Whitby near Boston so that Norman can continue with his colleague's research who had earlier murdered his lover and hanged himself.

From Italian horror master, Lucio Fulci comes his final installment in The Gates of Hell trilogy. A beautifully crafted film dripping in gothic atmosphere that combines a ghost and zombie story.

Regular Fulci actress Catriona McColl is excellent as Lucy and also Paolo Malco who plays her husband Norman. Giovanni Frezzi is the wink link in the chain as Bob due to his hilariously bad dubbing, but even that all adds to the charm of the film. The beautiful Ania Pieroni, from Inferno, also co-stars as the mysterious Anne the babysitter who is good at making coffee and mopping up pools of blood and is responsible for a lot of the film's strange plot holes.
And although the usual Fabio Frizzi doesn't supply the soundtrack this time, Walter Rizzati does an excellent job that adds to the atmosphere of the film. 8.5/10.
