It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Blistering performances.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
I just remembered this movie and thought i could write a review after seeing this maybe 20 year ago. I know... 20 years? how much could i remember? well, this movie was very disturbing so it left an impression. I'm a fan of splatter movies. When watching Dead Alive i was laughing the whole movie because it was so funny. But this one is different. No Humor here. Its a serious and very sick movie with explicit and disgusting scenes. i watched it on VHS so after maybe 30-45 minutes in i clicked on fast forward and watched the rest of the movie with 3x speed just to get it over with. i will never watch this ever again. The movie just feels too realistic.
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
If you're looking for something really nasty, this is a good choice. It doesn't feel particularly dated; the intensity of the visuals and audio keep it pretty fresh (which is ironic, right? Cus it's about dead things? Right). The music is harsh and unsettling, while the visuals are graphic, gory and gross. The film lacks any substantial plot or narrative, but that's not the purpose of the film. The film is made to be disgusting, shocking, and jarring, which it succeeds at. If you want anything more than a sadomasochistic, chaotic horror, I would avoid.This is one of the very few films that I found hard to watch, at certain points - the special effects are, for the most part, solid enough to believe. There are some exceptions to this, but the majority of it works. It definitely makes for uncomfortable viewing - as a concept, it seems pretty off-putting, but on film it's worse. It's a great piece of shock cinema history. It's not thought provoking to any degree, but will almost definitely make you squirm while watching it, which is what shock cinema is for.
Well were the heck do I begin with this film, i seriously don't know. There were 2 minor things i didn't like about the film but the rest was a disturbing presence of romance, depression, brutality and weirdness of the mysterious beyond.I like how the film's tale is told so simply. All it is, is about a guy and his buddies who find a rotting, charred corpse in a lake. The guy takes it home and him and his wife/girlfriend make love to it. His partner starts taking more interest in the corpse than him and she decides to leave him and run off with a corpse. His insanity gets to him and he goes on a small killing spree and then he commits suicide in the most unnatural way.For a low-budget cult horror, I will say as the story goes it is pretty decent in my book. It's like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Cannibal Holocaust and other films fused together to make this.I don't like the killings of the rabbit & cat. i felt they were'nt needed and it especially made me cover my eyes since it was real. The day dreaming sequences were stupid and to me there wasn't any reason for it, otherwise everything is up to scratch. I find most of the film interesting.The kills are pretty sweet, the rotting corpse is really graphic and it looks great, the music is insanely intriguing and the characters are stupid in the funniest way. The film also has a really disturbing tone. The funniest scene is when a woman is reading to the corpse.I only advise this film to those who have a strong mind. It is also a good thing that you watch 10 or so horror films before this one because if you watch this first you might not want to watch any horror film again. So watch this film in your time wisely. 7.8/10
