Simply Perfect

Absolutely the worst movie.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The rating here on IMDb is too low. Yeah, this German movie is not a masterpiece (you wouldn't mistake it for Blade Runner) but it still may not be a waste of time if you're looking to peer into how depraved some humans can be. If you are then consider 'Melancholie the Engel' a master class.The musical equivalent of this film would be a live GG Allin show, a spectacle meant to shock you involving violence, urine, poop and psychological nonsense. I'd searched far and wide for the subtitles for this film, but really, it wasn't necessary. The voice overs made no sense and doesn't propel the story at all. To be truthful there is no story, just an excuse to film human waste products.I think this is the 4th film I've seen where the animal killings were real, the other three being 'Cannibal Holocaust' from Italy, 'Wake In Fright' from Australia and 'Touki Bouki', from Senegal - a real international treat there. Personally, I don't see how anyone would endorse the filming of a real animal killing. I'm not talking so much about the 'ick' factor but the morality and justification for it. An implied cutaway wouldn't have lessened its impact at all.This rather sparse movie begins a little slowly before getting into the strong bits. 'Melancholie the Engel' is definitely not for everyone. You can stomach it if you aren't traumatized by the website 'Best Gore' or if 'A Serbiab Film' and 'Slaughtered Vomit Doll' is a walk in the park for you.

Marian Dova's film was indeed a step up from Cannibal. It's a dream like visual art-house film that turns the graphic and grotesque into a beautiful piece of film making. I have to say the uncut version I'm reviewing was in German language with no subtitles but that was not a major issue as there is no real narrative. The film appears to be about death and decay. We see old dolls, dead birds, insects, pigs, cats, fish, insects, and copses in coffins, cigars burning down, and old bones. The scenes involve sexual violence towards women, mutilation, urine, the smearing of excrement and general extreme horror that would normally shock. However, this is no exploitation movie; all the scenes have a dream like quality and an unsettling atmosphere which leave for an emotional experience. Good cinematography and a score by David Hess make this better than it really should be. Lots of sex, nudity and masturbation which is in no way erotic and scenes that would be controversial if in a different picture. At over two and a half hours long it's best to watch in two or three sittings as this is not a movie to grip or even shock you, just a decent piece of extreme horror art-house.

I've used IMDb since it started and never made an account, but after watching this over hyped sham, I had to say some thing to spare future viewers from this load of pseudo-pretentious offal.NOTE: SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW....not that it matters as the only thing spoiled is the time wasted to watch this tripe.This is the type of movie when some crack head director with dreams of nihilist angst tries to bore to death anyone foolish enough to endure two hours and thirty-eight minutes of cerebral pain, utter random nonsense, and stupidity.Other reviewers talk about the animal deaths and get all "faux squeamish" in a contrived attempt to puke some "artistic license" to this turd. Yeah, right. Only a PETA goop would find this offensive, but I must say forcing one to watch this would be better than water boarding them. Actually, instead of water boarding, this movie should be used to force confessions from "terrorists." The o-so-shocking violent sex scenes had me chuckling. They are so bad, they give bad porn a bad name. A simple tube search for BDSM movies will provide the REAL enlightenment.They way the editor jumped from one babbling monologue to another in an attempt to legitimize the moral (or lack of) struggles made me think he was on crack...or was just wanting to get this dung heap finished! IMPORTANT: There is NOTHING redeeming about this movie. Endless pseudo-psychological blathering, poor effects, laughable violent sex scenes, and characters, that halfway through, will have you screaming for Jason Voorhees to show up and hack-n-slash them all to oblivion! If I was given the choice of mashing my toes with a ball-peen hammer or watching this slobbering drivel, I'd be grabbing the nearest hammer! Avoid...AVOID...at all costs!

When i heard about this film i knew i had to see it. Having seen Cannibal, Marian Dora's first film i knew this was gong to be something worth mentioning. Cannibal was such a perverse and visceral film, not to mention realistic in its depiction of what happened so when i found this title there was no real hesitation. Anways i watched this title and i have to say that this easily ranked in my top 10 of the worst films i have watched. The only real time i have ever had to take breaks from a film on the grounds of just being overwhelmed. The story lacks but then again the version i saw was in German and had no subtitles so i can let that go.what i gather is that three men filled with contempt for all humanity and four women gather at an old run down house to basically have on last bang as one of the men clearly is dying. With that said once the everything descends into absolute hell.Most of what you can think of is on display in the almost three hours of film. Rape, murder, necrophilia, bestiality, animal cruelty,fecal matter, urination, graphic nudity, close up shots of both male and female ejaculation, Blasphemy.With all that said i will give credit where it is due . Beyond the fact that this film is very harsh there are some absolutely breath taking scenery, and the score by the late great David Hess adds a haunting beauty that honestly makes this film that much worse. Now don't get me wrong as bad as this is its still doesn't hold to that of a scat or fetish porn film as far as content in fact the films of Otto Muhel are far more graphic. however there is something in this film that is just very hard to watch and even harder to shake off later on. I don't recommend this film at all. Too long, too pretentious, graphic and between shock scenes very boring. I also feel too that the film is on top of all mentioned issues misogynistic and misanthropic. I don't recommend this one way or the other.
