      Nice work!

      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.

      An Idiosyncratic Sequel

      Joerg Buttgereit's films have their own unique place in horror movie history. Few directors have even come close to producing anything as beautifully depraved as "Schramm", "Der Todeskoenig" or his signature film "Nekromantik". The latter film is a superbly original romantic comedy about an unusual love triangle between a woman, her lover and a rotting corpse. It comes as something of a surprise that the sequel is content to re-hash the original - only without the sardonic humour or the perverted sense of romance. Nekromantik 2 is a strangely dour affair; the film is slow, affected and a little bit too clever for its own good. Thankfully, Buttgereit plucks enough grim and gross ideas from his wonderfully sick mind to make the film a worthy, if somewhat disappointing, sequel to a true genre classic.

      Nekromantik 2 picks up where the original film finished - with Robert pleasuring himself while violently committing suicide with a kitchen knife. The brutal imagery of Robert ejaculating blood while stabbing himself has lost none of its bite. After such an eye opening beginning, the film quickly takes on a more solemn tone. Monika, a nurse with a taste for necrophilia, rescues Robert from his grave and takes him home. The painstakingly detailed depiction of erotic corpse cleaning is textbook Buttgereit. From this point on, the film loses momentum - mostly due to the fact that nothing really happens apart from Monika meeting Mark at the movies and beginning a relationship with him. The courtship between Mark and Monika is painfully boring to watch and incredibly drawn out. There are tedious close-ups of them on a ferris wheel, an unnecessary dating montage and an uncharacteristically dull sex scene.

      The film only begins to show signs of life when Monika starts asking Mark to play dead during sex and shows him a family photo album full of dead relatives. It soon becomes clear that Monika is finding it difficult to choose between the decomposing object of her desire and her living boyfriend. In an excruciating scene Monika appears to choose Mark and cuts Robert into pieces with a handsaw. This sequence is wonderfully grotesque but incredibly long. Buttgereit appears intent on testing not only the viewer's ability to hold down their dinner, but also their patience. Despite chopping him into small pieces, Monika can't seem to part with Robert completely, so she keeps his head and his penis in the fridge. Strangely, Mark doesn't take finding a decomposing penis in his girlfriend's icebox as an indication that he should look for a new woman. The film falls into another slump until the gory conclusion, with the exception of a particularly unsavoury and lengthy clip of a baby seal being dissected. Thankfully, the conclusion is premium Buttgereit as Monika finds a way to enjoy the company of both Mark and Robert simultaneously.

      Buttgereit's excruciatingly long and detailed depictions of corpse cutting, animal dissection and dating rituals do not make for great viewing but the parallels that these sequences draw and the clinical detachment with which Buttgereit draws them, are intellectually stimulating - if clumsy and pretentious. That is not to say that the film is entirely without humour. The film within a film about ornithology is very amusing and a clear swipe at "art-house" filmmakers. The irony is that Nekromantik 2 is 10 minutes of necrophiliac sex and extreme gore away from being art-house fodder itself. Those 10 minutes make up for a lot of the film's posing. The make-up and gore effects are typically gross despite the extremely plastic looking corpses. The seal dissection looks like it has been stolen from the Greenpeace archives as it appears to be authentic.

      The acting and general production values are still rather amateur in nature. This is easy to disregard when you are being swept along with Buttgereit's gory magic as with the original "Nekromantik". However, these flaws are far more obvious at the snail's pace with which this film proceeds. Monika M puts in the best performance and makes an appealing lead with her clear blue eyes and Germanic disinterest. Buttgereit's direction and script remain as idiosyncratic as ever. I'm convinced that Buttgereit is a genius but this film only shows rare glimpses of what he is capable of. Nevertheless, Nekromantik 2 does give us something to think about while we wait patiently for his next dose of cinematic perversion.

      Slow and ultimately pointless

      The first Nekromatik was an original concept and was executed in a darkly original way (as has become Buttgereit's style). Sadly the sequel seems merely to rehash the original's ideas and does so without the flair and inventiveness of the original. Admittedly the ending truly must be seen to be believed and easily equals if not tops the originals ending, but the rest of the film (a gruesome dismemberment and a pointless seal autopsy aside) is extremely slow paced, especially the 'art' cinema scene. With a film as original and shocking as Nekromantik a sequel was never going to pack the same punch. If you're a fan of the first film I strongly suggest you check out Schramm or the excellent Der Todes King instead.

      Return of the loving dead

      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.

      Dull all throughout, but the ending kills

      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.

        (at around 23 mins) During a sex scene, there's a drawing by Karen Greenlee, an actual necrophile. She worked as an apprentice embalmer and was arrested for stealing a hearse and interfering with a funeral. She also confessed to having sex with 20-40 corpses. She described herself as a "morgue rat" and considered necrophilia an addiction.

It was screened only twice before, the first time for the press on March 24th 1991 and the second time for the public world premiere on March 29th 1991. Before the official theatrical release, the film was shortened by director Jörg Buttgereit for artistic reasons. A rediscovered premiere print is the only surviving copy of this version.
