For some reason it seems the only foreign films I ever end up watching are gruesome and disturbing horror films that put me off ever going to the country they're based in again. 'The Human Centipede' and 'A Serbian Film' are the first two that come to mind and while 'The Corpse of Anna Fritz' never lives up to the vile things I witnessed in either of those movies, it still deals with a sickening subject matter and is an uncomfortable watch at times.

I wasn't exactly sure where they were going to go with the film after everything promised in the synopsis had happened in the first 10 minutes. Then along came a very disturbing and well directed scene (which I won't spoil for you) that changed everything. From there it becomes a pretty tense and effective little thriller where you are never quite sure what is going to happen next. I would describe it as a lonely film, there aren't a lot of characters or even extras at any stage. The acting I would have to say was quite impressive from all involved and all in all I'd describe it as a very watchable little flick. Give it a look if you happen upon a copy of it.

Anna Fritz (Alba Ribas) is not a human being. In the public eye, she's a celebrity, a religion, an object. "The Corpse of Anna Fritz" makes this clear in its opening scene. As we see her lifeless corpse being moved to the morgue, voice-overs of people on the news are heard. They discuss her impressive career, shower her with compliments on her looks, and gush over how perfect a human being she is. This makes what follows all the more interesting.

Three friends end up in the morgue, alone with her corpse. Though there are brief and glossed over moments of ethical struggle before things get down and dirty, the characters are one-dimensional and serve a distinct purpose in the story. There's the moral compass, the antagonist and the spineless coward. While certain moments could have been more tastefully done, the film does raise questions on whether there is a grey area between right and wrong. In the hands of another team, this could have been a film further beyond our comfort zones that delved into its meaty themes of moral conflict, the ethics of necrophilia, the difference (if any) between the ownership of one's body before and after death and the repercussions of celebrity idolisation.

To be fair, the film does do something different in terms of the way the story shifts focus and evolves with its turns. The acting is fine but not entirely convincing, with Ribas being the stand out.

For a second I had thought that the film would end without its final twist, which was preceded by a intense escape sequence that's noteworthy. This would have been a subversive choice but would probably feel out of place given what they were going for: an entertaining, if predictable, midnight movie that's safe and thus more satisfying.

I have to admit that I was quite hesitant to see this film at the Brussels International Film Festival… After all, the title doesn't sound very cheerful and the two-line plot summary reveals absolutely nothing about the movie except for the perverted premise. The only I got beforehand was: "Imagine your best friend calls to say that he's in the same room as a famous actress and she isn't saying no to some action between the sheets… The only problem: your friend works at the morgue and the actress has recently deceased!" Okay, intriguing idea, I'll be the first to admit that. But where will it go from there? I hope it won't be a 76 minutes long-feature movie showing three guys committing necrophilia! Or will they get caught and does the whole thing turn into a courtroom drama? Or even worse, will the actress emerge from her deathbed as a zombie and shall she alternately rape and butcher her three assailants? I decided to purchase the ticket for "The Corpse of Anna Fritz" after all, and certainly didn't regret it. I won't reveal what does eventually happen (although many other people blatantly revealed it in their reviews) but writer Isaac P Creus and director Hèctor Hernández Vicens made the absolute most out of it and I'll gladly proclaim that "The Corpse of Anna Fritz" is a very suspenseful and absorbing thriller with a few unpredictable twists and a handful of notably frightening moments. The one thing you shouldn't expect, though, is gratuitous or repulsive footage. The necrophilia theme is quite controversial, of course, but the nudity and sexist sequences are kept to a minimum. The film does go quite far in showing how far people are prepared to do in order to protect their own sorry ass, like betrayal and even murder, which results in a number of brutal but nevertheless confronting and realistic sequences. Since there are only a couple of set pieces and a very limited cast of characters, "The Corpse of Anna Fritz" very much depends on the strong acting performances and the surefooted direction of Hèctor Hernández Vicens. It's a very simple yet effective shocker that occasionally makes you wonder how you would react in such a situation. Hopefully different than these guys!

Some movies have big spoilers in their own titles, basic plots or trailers. There, you have clues of what production team want you to know. I'll try not to go further.

We are introduced in the very beginning (by journalists' fragmented threads on voice-over) to Anna Fritz persona and we are get to know that she is a worshiped celebrity. Her death is where it all begins.

Then we are taken to the point of view of three curious guys that want to see her for the first and last time. What I can say it's not a good idea.

This movie have some violent scenes. If you are more or less sensible to 'moral terror', despite the comments of the toughest viewers, I think you will suffer.

From one specific moment, the story they are about to tell us, could perfectly fit in horror genre, but it clearly follows the way to a claustrophobic crime flick.

The cast is good, especially for the pretty Alba Ribas who plays Anna Fritz (in some shots she looks a little like Chloë Sevigny). The characters are made for the plot, so don't expect a great character developing (runtime being 76', it's not possible in an action centered movie). The pace is fast, and it works. No place for being bored. Give it a chance!

So from now on, it seems we have more reasons to be afraid of dying!

It's a well built simple story. Nice twist at the end.

Well this all escalated rather quickly and ended just as quick...

quite believable other than a couple of moments but other than I quite enjoyed it x

One of the things I really love about this film is how precisely its told. At no point did I feel that the film was dragging on, nor that it was showing me something that was unnecessary to the plot. I also loved how quickly it dealt with its exposition in the beginning of the film. A lot of directors would have spent 15 minutes or more following Anna Fritz on the red carpet, showing her fans cheering at her, and then cut to her being found dead. This film deals with all exposition within the first two minutes, leaving the viewer to only have to focus on the films tension. The Corpse of Anna Fritz really shows how you get a lot out of a small budget, and is a great example of "less is more".

This film is incredibly tense, and had me on the edge of my seat throughout most of the film. This is due to a very good score, great pacing, as well as all actors performing really well, especially Alba Ribas.

The visual style is really good. I really like way its lit, and the hand-held camera increased the tension, drawing me into the film.

One of the most tense indie-thrillers I've seen in a long time.

There are a lot of people who would try to know more and more about the term necrophilia. yet they are not afraid for any violence, filth or gore scenes. I think this movie is great for them.

As a thriller it did some very good work,. The acting was also quiet good. there's not very much character on the film but yet you won't realize it so often cause the film does have a thrilling nerve on the viewers mind.

and i believe anybody will love this spanish thriller. they have a different path on thriller movie.

Anna Fritz is indicated as a renowned actress and she is found dead after a party, and brought to an undisclosed hospital for an autopsy. Because she is famous, where is a secret. But Pau works at the hospital she is brought to, and he snaps a picture of her in the morgue. His two friends, Ivan and Javi come to the hospital, and want to see the corpse. If you took the intelligence combined of Pau, Javi and Ivan all together, one might get a half wit. Ivan is very much into cocaine. And Pau seems tentative and out of his element with them. He takes them into the morgue, and that is where things take a much different turn. And Ivan becomes what is probably always is, and that is psychotic. What Ivan never figures out is what they do would be found out in any autopsy, so his rationalization has no basis in fact.

From the title, the bio, and even the imagery used in the cover, I was expecting The Corpse of Anna Fritz to go in a direction that we have seen once or twice before. Thankfully I was proven wrong, as the plot travelled a very different direction from my expectation. The acting and early gradual character development was believable, the story was simplistic but gripping, and the setting was claustrophobic and unsettling whilst not being too out of the ordinary.

My one and only gripe with The Corpse of Anna Fritz is within the story; more specifically the conclusion in which I won't divulge too much information in order to avoid spoiler territory, however I felt certain aspects of the storyline could have been concluded in a more impactful and in-theme circumstance.

As an English-speaking viewer, the subtitles were not distracting, and the emotions conveyed by the acting made me feel as if I was getting the gist of conversations without even reading the subtitles at times! I'm personally very glad that it was not dubbed, as I feel you could easily lose a lot of the conversational charm and emotions portrayed throughout the dialogue of the film.

Overall The Corpse of Anna Fritz is well worth a watch; a very well done take touching upon an unpleasant but all-too-real macabre premise. Even with limited locations throughout the entire film, it maintains a gripping tension throughout. I rated The Corpse of Anna Fritz a 7 spooks out of 10 scares. A short but memorable addition to Spanish horror that I would certainly recommend to the avid horror enthusiasts among us.

What has this world come too ? Most all of the reviews gave this between a six and a 10 watching some two guys screw a dead girl really what a bunch of sick people live in this world and even sicker who directed this and produces garbage how can I even put this on TV free TV at that oh my God you guys should be sent to the electric chair for watching this freaking trash it's just unbelievable I mean little teenage kids can watch this just unbearable I couldn't sit through the whole movie but it's just a horrible display wow and they probably won't post my review cuz they're so biased just sickening.

The movie does its job.Its thrilling till end.It gas some horror moments too.All the characters are complicated.Wonderful thrilling experience

This film basically bears the stereotypic storyline of abusement on the weaker gender. A bit reshuffling of the i spit on your grave series with an addition of a cadaver. The story begins when the dead body of three men's dream woman arrives in a morgue. They freaked out out to see her naked & that isn't enough coz they turned out to be necrophile. And after that the story becomes very predictable & least to mention. But anyways, the acting seemed believable except that of the lead actress who always shed tears & kept on frightened looks. And the ending becomes tremendously stale & unconvincing...

A famous actress, Anna Fritz, has died and a young man working at the hospital morgue impresses his two buddies with her fresh corpse. On a dare, the boys decide to have a little fun with the sexy but cold body. Bad choices in life go south rather quickly as trouble is ahead and trouble behind in this adventure. The lead actress makes for a fine dead body but the three guys are not exactly A list actors. The movie is mildly amusing and is only an hour and sixteen minutes. Dive in at your own risk.

Let's be clear: it is not just about beauty here, but about celebrity and what that makes people think. We have three male characters here, which all do drugs. Now that alone may be enough for some to judge them. But if you are not too close minded, you will let that one slip (no pun intended). When it comes to discovering the body of Anna Fritz and what occurs then ... that is completely different and despicable to say the least.

Now one of the three has some common sense. Not just some, but enough for all 3 of them and therefor can be excused to a degree. The things that happen do make sense. Even the really abhorent acts in it. Some are tough to watch to say the least. I know some will have the same excuse as the two characters, but if you look inside yourself you should know it is just plain wrong.

Having said that, the movie develops quite the tension and quite the suspense that does carry through to the end. Spanish thrillers have really found a niche and place for themselves and this is just another one of those. Very well made to say the least
