5.0 out of 5 stars Ground-breaking, July 23, 2008

By 

Serpent "Cory" (Maine, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nekromantik (Unrated Edition) (DVD)

Never in the history of cinema has a director tackled such controversial subject matter, as that of necrophilia, and attempted to portray it in such a beautifully erotic way.
German cult director Jorg Buttgereit has done just that with his film Nekromantik. His film tells the story of two deeply depraved individuals, Rob and his girlfriend Betty, who are obsessed with collecting human body parts, which they keep on display in formaldehyde sealed jars throughout their apartment. Rob works for a roadside accident cleaning company and is responsible for bagging the dead bodies of car wreak victims, which gives him the perfect opportunity to add to his collection. Not content with body parts alone, Rob surprises Betty by bringing home a bloated corpse. Betty is overjoyed and the couple decide to introduce the corpse into their sex life. All is good, but as time goes on Betty becomes enamored with the corpse. She leaves Rob and takes the corpse for her own sexual pleasures. Unable to cope with his loss, Rob travels a twisted road of sickness and self-abuse before finally finding salvation in this one of a kind movie ending you have to see to believe.
This film is not for the faint-of-heart, and is extremely graphic in depicting scenes of gore and necrophilia. However, if you are a fan of exploitation films this is a must see. This is the definitive DVD release of this film and it's loaded with extras, you will not be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE OF RIP-OFF SELLERS, January 15, 2012

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Nekromantik (Unrated Edition) (DVD)

NEKROMANTIK is, without a doubt, one of the most nauseating horror films ever made. The budget is small, but the over-all effect is ultra-real.
You will notice outrageous prices for this DVD.
These people who are selling this movie for $80-$120 just don't want you to own a copy of this film.
They've been sitting on this title for years.
Just type-in the title and use the search engine for small, but honest stores selling this for under $20.
This is a great, but sick film, but it's not worth the prices these rips are selling it for...BEWARE!

5.0 out of 5 stars artistic and romantic in a morbid way, December 29, 2011

By 

MANIAC (NRW) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nekromantik (Unrated Edition) (DVD)

Buttgereit made a movie that is really very special, the music is awesome, the plot is not bad and the special effects are really not bad for the time this movie was made but the most fascinating is THIS EXTREMELY MORBID ATMOSPHERE!!!! Its really very atmospheric in its sick way.

Another director tried to make a necrophilic movie, I am talking about Nacho Cerdas AFTERMATH. This movie is just about pure splatter effects and necophilism, there is no story, no music, no atmosphere.

So if you want a very SPECIAL movie about necrophilism WATCH IT!!!!!

WARNING : This movie should be not watched by persons under 18 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
