Nekromantik
 

Has anyone seen this? How is it?

I really wanna see it, friggin' bad, but the only place I can order it from is kinda pricy- it's really hard to find.

Reviews?

Excellent, this was a real eye-opener on first viewing.

It maintains a grim tone all of its own throughout, but is not without comical moments - though these might be lost as you cannot believe what you are seeing if you have not had the pleasure of an extreme necrophelia movie before.

From the devastating soundtrack, through the ghastly dead body-licking/humping, to the infamous erection/stabbing finale... this is one of a kind.

Of course there was a sequel, but I cannot recall in which film the real rabbit-killing ocurred. Hard to watch, and bearing in mind this was filmed during practice at a rabbit farm doesn't make it much easier.

You should definately see Nekromantik though.

from memory, #1

Is it worth $26? Or a birthday present?? Or should I just see if my friend can que it up on Netflix?

Scratch that...they don't even have it on NetFlix. :mad:

wow - thanks for the heads up .. i can avoid this one now ..

I got it from Netflix.

I wouldn't say its worth spending $26, its a decent fucked up flick but not at that price.

I didn't like the rabbit killing at all (defo #1), seemed completely unnecessary and I couldn't see why they felt it related to his need to fuck corpses.

I would recommend it as part of any varied horror collection though, in addition to its sequel, Schramm and Der Todesking by the same director.

Jorg Buttgereit produced work vastly different to the efforts of his fellow countrymen Andreas Schnaas, Olaf Ittenbach and the like - avoiding the heroic dramas and badly acted comedy camcorder gore in favour of some grim and very serious work where the black comedy somehow serves to heighten the horror.

The uncut Der Todesking features a clip from a nazi exploiter with an alarming penis-slicing sequence executed slowly with a pair of garden shears.

:eek:
