Nekromantik 2 (1991)

Wonderfully offbeat film!

The greatest movie ever made..!

Sorry, this movie sucks

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

"Nekromantik 2" came out 4 years after the original movie and the writer and director, as usual, is Jörg Buttgereit. I thought the first film was really bad in all aspects. This one is equally absurd, but slightly superior from start to finish. The acting is better (especially by the lead actress) and same goes for the script. Buttgereit probably improved his skill in the years between the two films. The lead actor is worth the watch, not because of any skill he possesses, but because of how campy and ridiculous the character is with his porn movie voice acting. This film is also considerable longer than the first, roughly half an hour. The title already tells you that this film is again about obsession with death and the female protagonist (pretty hot) has the rotten corpse of the main character from the first film in her bathtub. I felt that I could take this film here a lot more serious in terms of mental disorders than the previous film, which was just pointless and embarrassing and trying to be as shocking as possible. "Nekromantik 2" does have some substance in terms of story. And hands down, the final sex scene is pretty hot. All in all, the negative still outweighs the positive, but it is no complete failure like most of Buttgereit's other works I think. Certainly among the director's better efforts.

I have seen that movie yesterday evening. It was a very interesting and absorbing experience. the first sequence depicts a suicide, alternating with the credits, a guy butchering is belly while ejaculating. so your are directly in the point. After that you have the story of a women who get his body back from the cemetery... and you have a whole allegory of a breaking up and a new love. She keeps the body in her apartment, meets a knew boy, tears the body into pieces and just keep the penis... in all those sequences we are on the verge of throwing up. it also alternates moments of true romance, while kissing, cleaning and finally sawing the body, with ironical or even wry sequences, for instance the wooing sequence (photo, ferris wheel, ice cream and the stripped underpants...), the bar discussion over what is a woman and the cinema sequence showing an experimental with 2 people on a devastated roof talking about ornithology and eating tons of eggs. the photography and the montage are very free and experimental. the music that alternate very fast creates a very special ambiance... a real strange experience

Having never seen the original Nekro, I was really disappointed in this film. Yes, gore galore, yet the story was as though it could've been developed by a junior high student. It was interesting to see a female take on such a disgusting role, but if that is what it's going on, then it's running on fumes. Though I'm sure it's audience is limited, I can't imagine watching this except FOR the gore scenes, which are pretty grueling as few and far between they are. It could've been splatter masterpiece, but I feel as though there was much restraint in this. Needless to say, the ending was a sweet release, so to speak, in that finally it was over, and the "money shot", which still was not all that impressive. A failed effort that only gives you a taste of what could have, and should have been. 3 out of 10.

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.
