started off ok despite bad dubbing, but just got weird and boring. I tried a few times to finish it but just couldn't
Dubbing ruined this, plain and simple.
Watched it elsewhere in the original Hungarian with subs. The film has an interesting premise and some memorable, macabre scenes, but it suffers from serious pacing issues and a muddled plot. "Dreamlike" films (and Post Mortem is definitely one) *can* work, but there is a fine line between a film making a sort of intuitive "sense" (as do our best dreams . . . and nightmares) and incoherence. So much remains unexplained and so much (including important relationships between characters) remains unexplored at the end of Post Mortem, and it just feels unfinished. (Also, the Hungarian countryside, as portrayed here, doesn't really give the impression of being so deeply frozen that there is any real need---beyond the needs of the script---to keep all of these corpses around for weeks . . . and this greatly adds to the atmosphere of nightmarish dream-nonsense. )
i thought this was a very good ghost story. Scares are great, some body horror, and a complete story arc which is consistent all throughout.
Movie was great but wish it was the original language with subtitles. Dubbing ruined it
