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.
A twisted couple practice necrophilia in this controversial cult hit.
Cast: Bernd Daktari Lorenz, Beatrice Manowski, Harald Lundt

loved it. music was on point with all the old 80s horror that i love. it was slow and gradual and i loved that it left room for imagination.
Exploitation for exploitation's sake has the same effect on me as electro-acoustic music - it probably serves a purpose and needs to exist in some niche world, but definitely not my own; I fail to see the point past a few minutes, as I did here. It plays like a bad, pulpy, pointlessly gross novella that rubs your nose in it, because, in the end, it hasn't got much else to say or do.
I was not prepared for this one. Love the title (cool band name and poster). But I mean that corpse effing scene I thought was. . . . wow. And that "climactic" ending. . . I'll say it is the most artistically grotesque film I've ever seen.
the sound effects and music was incredible but everything else was too grotesque
It's not my cup of tea, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
