NEKRomantik 2

I juste saw Nekromantik 2. One of the movie I had to see ten years ago to extend ma vision of shocking cinema. Since then, and after a break of gory movies, I've come back to violence in cinema. Well, Nekromantik 2 is a singular piece of art. The authors are as gentle and creative as the movie is dark and destructive. See it on DVD! I have to say that the way the movie is filmed (nice moving of camera with its charming shaking), is acted (with a kind of "playing for playing"), opened my mind to Evil Dead, another kind of movie made by passionate young and a little crazy people who got the ability to do everything they want. I'm talking about the special effects which are really good and improvised by the director. About my own feelings and thoughts: 7/10.

Buttgereits sequel to NEKROMANTIK. A wonderful splatter/comedy about the love between a women and her dead boyfriend. This movie has some very cool scenes like a PORNOMOVIE DUBBING SCENE with homemade Special FX and a very funny refrigerator scene. A must for fans of the first movie and Joe D'Amatos BUIO OMEGA.

Graphic depictions of corrupted flesh is not a substitute for the momentum created with a real script using written dialogue and characters. The climactic scene in the first offering was the only interesting moment and it should have been shot differently. Buttegereit was just too ambitious here and the effect reminded me of a cheesy "Airplane!"-like sight gag. To his defense, I must say that "The Death King" and "Schramm" are infinitely better films and are actually quite watchable.(especially "Schramm")

The original "Nekromantik" was great. Unfortunately, the sequel is pretty boring, but with one exception: its ending. I guess the whole film is sort of preparing for the grand finale, which is something else. Totally raw and brutal! Worth seeing just for that. The movie was actually seized by the authorities during its premiere.

A necrophiliac-thriller-drama-lovestory! This is by far less original movie than the first one (its a sequel, after all!). Basic difference is that it is realised from the female point of view. Some nice ideas and all. Whatever the case, it's worth it to see for the great ending alone (thats the case with part one, as well, but Nekromantik 1 is a much greater film if you ask me)
