Nekromantik
Directed by Jorg Buttgereit
A twisted man brings home a corpse for him and his wife to use sexually in this controversial cult hit from German director Jörg Buttgereit. Rob and Betty are hardcore necrophiliacs. But when Betty runs away with the decaying corpse Rob's brought home, things get really, really messed up. Though NEKROMANTIK was banned in many countries thanks to its extreme subject matter, the film's perverse parodic edge made it a hit with horror and extreme cinema fans (including John Waters) in 1987. Even today, it's not for the faint of heart - or easily offended. (In German with English Subtitles) Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.

Might scratch an itch for fans of gross-out horror and gore. Almost felt like the director was going through a checklist. I personally found that a lot of the scenes here are more absurd in nature than anything, bordering on some unintentional humor at the end. All in all, I can't say that I regret spending an hour to watch this film, if not just for its cult status.
odd, slightly unsettling
Love this movie, but Nekromantik 2 is better.
Boring for the most part, ending was good though
This movie does one thing extremely well and it's being gross. Apparently at the cost of all other aspects of film making but if you just want a series of gross out images to look at this is the place.
