The Necro Files

Necro Files is a classic. Yes. A classic for the fans of no-budget gore-filthy movies. The plot speaks for itself: a serial rapist is killed then come back to life because of a "satanist cult" spell. But, he comes back to life as a zombie with a huge penis. He continues his rapist and killing rampage. There are two cops that follows the case, one of them is mentally altered. Thats a great character! A very good performance by that guy. Other highlight is the "flying baby doll". No words. Its the glory. The movie is very enjoyable but not expect "good cinema" or "art". Its a party movie, to watch with friends drinking beer and puking. Great fun.

the flying baby is a belly laugh and the zombie/rapist is a concept few have thought of you gotta be touched in the head to think that doozy up( but here it is )

not the best made or acted movie if ya want academy performances look elsewhere but as a funny interlude it's good some peoples comments about it's puerile and stupid are correct but i know the fella who made this and it's supposed to be !!!! i think some people just like knocking stuff

i say there ain't enough have a laugh and put me thinking head aside films around

The Necro Files (1997)

*** (out of 4)

Two detectives are searching for a serial rapist who has attacked, raped and mutilated over two-hundred women. One day they finally catch a break and blow him away but nine months later the rapist's newborn son is sacrificed at his grave site by a group of Satan worshipers, which brings the rapist back to life. Only this time he's a zombie who goes out looking for more woman to mutilate.

If you're looking for a clean-cut, straight-forward horror film then you're going to find hundreds at your video store or whatever mainstream source you enjoy. THE NECRO FILES certainly isn't a movie to take home to your parents and in fact, it's not really a movie you're going to want to watch with anyone unless they too seek out the bizarre underground type of flicks that most people would find revolting a vile. It's funny but I remember seeing this back in 1997 and I had never heard of it before. Someone at a video store said it was unlike anything he had ever seen so I rented it on that alone. There's no doubt that I had never seen anything like it and the film remained in my mind all the way up to this second viewing.

Look, I'm not going to sit here and say this thing is a lost classic because it's not. Yes, it's extremely silly at times. Some of the acting is horrid. The "baby" is obviously fake. We could spend a lot of time talking about the low-budget but instead of looking at the negative I'm just going to say that I enjoyed the film, it's charm and the fact that it's rather graphic in its own right. If you've seen Joe D'Amato's PORNO HOLOCAUST or EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD then you're going to see what influenced this movie. The film offers up a lot of naked women, a lot of graphic kills and plenty of pig guts thrown all over the place. The gore level is extremely high for a film from this period and there's also a lot of nudity to keep you entertained.

The zombie make-up is also another plus. I enjoyed him going around in his burial suit and the visual of his face was rather good considering the budget. The fact that he goes around with a giant penis just adds to the strangeness and there's no question that the meeting with the blow-up doll is something.... Well, rather unique as is the rest of the film.

A girl is showering unknowing that a serial rapist is staring at her through the skylight. Detectives Martin Manners and Orville Stone is hot on his trail, but not hot enough as they find him after he kills, rapes, and eats a nipple of the girl.He's the shot to death. One would hope that this would be the end of the film. Not because it's too horrifying, but because the level of acting is atrociously horrid. Sadly it's not the end and months later the rapist is resurrected as a zombie by a coven of satanists. So he continues where he left off, with the detectives on the case again, this time a flying baby is after him too (don't ask). There has been VERY good VERY low-budget movies (Street Trash and Filthy McNasty spring to mind), but this one is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Horrible acting, crappy dime store special effects, lame attempt at comedy and oh yeah, and the ending sucks too.

My Grade: F

Eye Candy: Theresa Bestul gets fully nude; Anne R. Key gets topless

Bear with me on this one. A cannibal rapist returns from the dead to continue his bloody onslaught but Satan worshippers, a murdered floating baby and an unstable drug addicted psychopath cop are hot on his trail.

On a budget that resembles a Big Mac and small fries this is labelled as comedy horror and though it has absolutely no jokes I can only assume that's why the acting and dialogue was so embarrassing. Because it was intentional, right?! Gore, light T&A, some of the worst sfx ever put onto film (Including a baby that they don't even try to hide is blatantly a doll and plenty of cringe worthy moments make up The Necro Files.

Amazingly this has a sequel and being the movie masochist that I am I will no doubt end up watching it.

Upon watching this part of me found myself considering vetting movies better before watching them, but if I had done that I'd never have seen the love between a zombie & a blow up doll interrupted by a floating baby with a voice like Pee Wee Herman.
