Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

choptopsbbq-31282 Think of other steamy love stories like "91/2 Weeks" or "Fifty Shades". Now imagine them being made by a genius, appealing to a small niche audience. You now have Nekromantik! As someone who collects necrophile erotica, the is one of the better entries. I could've done without the bunny abuse, though

latakiahaze Many moons ago when I was first involved in the horror film industry I remember having a long exchange with Jörg Buttgereit about the animal cruelty in this movie. His response was, he just filmed a butcher going about his business. My repulsion with the "mondo" jungle movies of the 1980's was along similar lines - seeing big stars like Ursula Andress in films with live monkeys being fed to giant snakes was way to much for me. Animals are intelligent, sentient creatures and should not be slaughtered for our entertainment. So, from the off I despise any director who includes animal cruelty in his films for sheer shock value.Now on to Nekromantic per se. It is a very amateur movie, made on 8mm, which explores the idea of necrophilia to a reasonable degree. It is not particularly well acted nor well made, and I personally found it rather dull. Everyone at the film festival where I first saw this were baying "Nekromantik! Nekromantik!" - thinking this was the most uber- goth un-pc movie of the night. Looking round, most had fallen asleep within half an hour.Good as a film-school project, but certainly not in the main league. Like anyone in the main league would make a film about necrophilia....

BA_Harrison Rob Schmadtke (Daktari Lorenz) is part of a clean-up team that removes dead bodies from public areas. Mixing work with play, Rob, a necrophiliac, occasionally manages to pocket random body parts, which he takes home to share with his equally twisted girlfriend Betty (Beatrice Manowski). When given the responsibility of disposing of a whole, decomposing corpse, Rob seizes the opportunity of a lifetime, taking the body home to use as a sexual plaything.It's been over 25 years since I first saw Nekromantik—a dodgy nth generation bootleg VHS with no subs given to me by a friend with the same dubious taste in film—but even though I've seen a lot of extreme cinema since, Jörg Buttgereit's transgressive classick of German underground horror has lost none of its power to shock.Dealing with the extremely iffy subject of necrophilia, with all the yucky, oozing, slime and bodily fluids that go with it, Buttgereit's film is still difficult to stomach despite a streak of dark humour running through proceedings. As if the nauseating sight of someone getting busy with a putrefying corpse isn't bad enough, the film also throws in a spot of animal death (both fake and real), full frontal male nudity, some random urination, the murder and rape of a prostitute (in that order!), a wonderfully bloody decapitation by shovel, and a final scene that has to rank as one of the most unforgettably repulsive acts ever committed to film.Technically speaking, Buttgereit's film is a little rough around the edges, but he tells his tale with confidence, even experimenting with some artsy-fartsy visual effects during a love scene between Betty and the body, and throwing in a hilarious dream sequence that is reminiscent of avant-garde French cinema, albeit with a severed head and gut slinging. Nekromantik also benefits immensely from a surprisingly good score by Daktari Lorenz, Hermann Kopp and John Boy Walton which lends certain scenes a strange sense of beauty despite the repugnant visuals.Needless to say, this isn't a film to share with the whole family (unless your family happens to have furniture made from human bones and an extra large freezer out back, in which case, share away); on the other hand, fans of low budget German splatter, extreme horror, or transgressive cinema in general should consider the film essential viewing.

kneiss1 This is a movie about, as the title indicates, the love to the dead. A sort of perverted theme. And yes, it is a film with a lot of gore and a lot of disgusting dead meat. The weird thing about this movie is, that all this nastiness is filmed in a beautiful way – with beautiful music. This makes this film unusual and definitely needs an open mind to be watched. I personally liked the cheap synth-music the best. It suited the bad quality of the movie (which was filmed with a hi8 camera) perfectly. Combined this created a great and unusual atmosphere.Sadly the movie is very exhausting to watch. And sometimes you get the idea, that the movie is all about living out a perversion. But then again, the movie asks interesting questions about humanity and life itself. One of many reasons why I consider this movie art and believe it's worth to watch – despite all the perversion and gore.
