    the movie is great

    this is a very interesting thriller. i strongly recommend to everybody to see it. there is tension and action so just go and watch it!!!!!!!!!!! when i rented the movie i thought: well just another boring thriller. but soon i got captivated by the action. the girls playing are gorgeous and the actors are really talented. also not to forget its sound and the modern techniques used to shoot the movies. the action is very vivid and you hardly wait to see the next scene. so no kidding, i do believe is a very good movie and is worth seeing it. at the same time the time of the action is very interesting: the mid 80, Romania, an eastern European country, the atmosphere is very natural and creepy.

    Truly remarkable

    The plot, apparently simple, in fact is not simple at all. Nekro is not only entertainment, it is way more than that. It is cinema, you can see it, you can feel it, beautiful opening scenes, dream-like landscapes accompanied by the movie theme music in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene. This is the kind of movie that you will have to watch several times yet to be able to understand the message. Furthermore, once you get the message, you will need to find the key and be able to understand and unfold the connections between the events and characters that are evolving in two parallels worlds. Now, regarding David, all those visions, fears, is it for real or all this is just happening in his mind? Apparently George Santa has a telepathic communication, some sort of mental induction state from his mind to David's mind. At that time you will soon realize that we have entered a new dimension and have found ourselves in oneiric film context. Finally, once you got all those elements you will need to find the path, but bear in mind, there will be no return. Here, the equation is not at all mathematics; we are talking about symbolism, imagination and paranormal activity. Subsequently, all the elements of fear, suspense and emotion are crossing over your mind. The final conclusion is that Nekro-The Movie should be considered a cult film. Truly remarkable.

    Very complex and intricate.

    It's all very well created, beautiful yet intricate and illustrated film. Also the story is weird and creepy.

    Obviously this movie has a completely different approach from other conventional Romanian films. This movie tells about the continuing struggle between good and evil, the fight that takes place both in the world that all we know and live and the world beyond death, where good ultimately will prevail but only after a supreme sacrifice. An elementary thing of this thriller is how the film was directed, to push your thoughts and imagination and leave us a total nebula.

    I truly loved the negative Santa’s character (Stefan Sileanu). You can see and feel inside him the power and the creativity of a great actor. Congratulations to the whole team and especially to the one who managed to transfer us and make us live the main ideas of this thriller. Well done Nekro!

    For me, this movie deserves definitely 10.

    Nekro represents an avant-garde film

    Nekro is a fictional movie inspired by the mystical verses of the biblical Apocalypse 12,3-17 / 12,18-13,10. The film exudes an atmosphere of unreal and suspense leading the readiness of the next sequence. Ex-Lieutenant David captures and kills the beast beyond the borders of the Hades Empire, while sacrificing his daughter, in order to prevent blasphemy. We can notice the presence of symbolism and a reminder to Saint George who killed the dragon with his sword. Apocalyptic images including necrophilia, moving scenes taking shape on a particular symbolic red present in the chamber of suffering. We highly recommend watching this movie for the beauty of the images, the suspense, the surreal, dreamlike scenes and mysteries on an excellent musical background. We can also mention the talent and professionalism of the actors and their performance in the drama. Finally, Nekro represents an avant-garde film made by a young director of great talent with a particular depth of thought and high symbolic knowledge.

    This movie has its own unique style

    Nekro is part of the mystery, psychological and strange film category. It's a must-see and a must have film for those seeking a deeper explanation of this kind. The director addresses a highly sensitive issue, not subject to time limits and virtually opens up a gateway by crossing into another world, most likely by opening the doors of darkness. What a nice subtle fusion between shots and sequences with sound, music and atmosphere! The movie contains also a sequence with a very nice music video. As the film progresses, it becomes more exciting and full of suspense, with moments of great power. Despite the complexity of the large theme, "the psychological universe", which addresses, Nekro remains a positive bright film. It's amazing how a penetrating and provocative film like Nekro does not propose to judge things. The characters evolve in an enigmatic and timeless world. Unfortunately, there is a sequence where you can spot the Director of Photography (Marian Stanciu) in a mirror while shooting, too bad. Although Nekro is a complex movie and requires all your attention to watch, it is one of the most interesting films that I've seen. This movie has its own unique style and that's the reason why it still keeps coming back on my mind, in other words, true cinema.
