I actually watched this on DVD from Netflix last night. Why did I rate this film 4 stars? The acting isn't that good. The cinematography isn't that good. The plot isn't that good. The pacing isn't that good. In fact the film just isn't that good, but what it did do was what I wanted it to do and that was gross me out completely. It's been a long time since I was that disgusted watching something, and that's a good thing. I'm a huge fan of horror films so I like to be grossed out and scared. While this film didn't scare me it almost made me look away. This would rank right up there with watching The Thing and An American Werewolf in London when I was a child and then again watching Cannibal Ferox (Make Them Die Slowly) when I was a teenager. So I give this film 4 stars for the plain fact that is lived up to it's potential and made me sick to my stomach. Excellent!

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.

A young man named Rob uses his job where he collects and disposes of corpses to help build his growing collection of body parts. Not satisfied with just collecting mere body parts, one day he brings home an intact corpse. Rob in not alone in his obsession for the dead, his girlfriend Betty is also a necrophiliac. Unfortunately there moment of bliss would be short lived and Rob’s world will be turned inside out when Betty decides to leave him for the corpse he recently brought home. Unable to cope with this great loss he seeks out new avenues in hope that he will be able to fill the void that now dominates his life.

Today’s audiences are constantly bombarded with violent imagery in films and in the news, which has led to a desensitization towards violence. And though it appears that each new film appears to be trying to outdo the last one when it comes to pushing the limits in regards to its depiction of violence. There are always going to be those films that are beyond the fringe that would shock even the most jaded cinema file. Case in point, Nekromantik a film that is just a potent today as the moment it was unleashed on audiences twenty six years ago.

On subject matter alone, there are very few films that are going to push buttons more than Nekromatik, a film that features a protagonist who obsession with necrophilia is bound to revolt the majority of perspective viewers. And if this were this film’s only objective, then it would have already faded away into obscurity.

Fortunately this film is not your run of mill shock and awe gore feast. And at the core of this film is story about love and death and how these two things are intertwined. Other subjects that this film explores include obsession and dealing with a loss of a loved one.

Ok, so there is no fault to cult epics on the packaging of this film. It looks great and includes a ton of extras. The problem is the film itself. This was an art piece made to be shocking and while story element of the films are coherent they aren't really compelling. I liked the film, but I could deal with the grotesque nature of this movie better if there was a more compelling story driving it. For gore hounds and fan of weird films it is a must see, and if you are going to but it you can't go wrong with this blu.
