Nekromantik 2

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)

The first "Nekromantik" is one of my favorite underground horror films. Although "Nekromantik 2" is shot beautifully and has some really good gore scenes, it just doesn't have the punch that the first one did. There are many scenes that are long and drawn-out and detract from the pace of the film. Some scenes seem like they don't belong in the film at all. There are some genuinely funny scenes that are good for a laugh, and definitely some strong gore that rivals the first "Nekromantik", but I found myself checking my watch too often. Buttgereit and crew could have easily shaved a half hour off this film and made it a more sleek and streamlined film, but being that Buttgereit seemed to have a bigger budget this time, it appears he wanted to spend it on filming as much footage as possible, not always to the benefit of the viewer. Still a decent experience and definitely worth checking out for the extreme horror enthusiasts, and the ending is suitably matched to the first film. Give this one a look 7/10

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")

A strange film, but that's what I was looking for. It was interesting. At times, it even had a good soundtrack. I like films that aren't afraid to show something. In my opinion, that's what makes it most compelling and interesting. One moment it seems completely normal and romantic, but then it starts to get crazy again. The best part for me was the ending, which I really didn't expect and which put the icing on the cake. A strange distasteful thing, let's say. It can be a little boring at times, but it wasn't too long, so it flew by and I'm satisfied with the ending. The ending made it.

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.
