The Necro Files

Gore. Sex. Flying Dolls. More Gore. I love this film. Its the story of a serial rapist/killer, shot dead by severely overacting cops and bought back to life a year later by the dumbest satanists ever to grace the screen. The zombiefied rapist promptly goes on a killing spree, the cops slowly lose their marbles as they pursue the zombie, and the satanists send a dead baby (Actually a doll!) after the undead miscreant.

Its violent, gory, offensive and funny.

The necro files is strange. Very strange. And low budget. The fat cop is played by someone who probably financed the film but isn't an actor of any sorts. It's full of rape and murder scenes so ridiculous that you can't help laughing at them, and a flying tiny tears doll that's supposed to be a demon fetus from hell. It made me laugh, genuinely because of the intended humour, and the humour that exists in all low budget movies that are cheap and amateur. The two cops steal the show as they are just such poor actors. Best Scene: The two cult members begging Jesus for forgiveness

I WAS going to give this turd of a movie a 1 (or MUCH LESS if I could) as a rating...BUT...once I started watching it,it kinda grew on me,and it was funny! NO...it was friggin' HILARIOUS!!! Do NOT expect ANYTHING great from this film. The acting is atrocious. The film quality is horrendous (which probably HELPS). The effects are "OK" I guess. But when I got to "Demonic Super Baby" this is where I totally LOST IT! It was SO DAMN FUNNY that IMMEDIATELY I rated this movie MUCH HIGHER than I anticipated that I would! This film REALLY isn't for everyone,but if you like sex crazed well endowed zombies...sex dolls getting "probed"...god awful (but funny) acting...and the LAUGH OUT LOUD "Demonic Super Baby" (who makes even FUNNIER sounds)...you will most likely enjoy this one. I may even call up some of my buds,and have a "Necro-Party"! You HAVE to watch this one with some other people that enjoy trash...GOOD trash.

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 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.
