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:
