With a title like Nekromantik, you should know what you're getting into. As I was watching this movie; there are plenty of times where I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I have seen many controversial films over the years, and I can honestly say this is in my top 10. I'm gonna do my best not to spoil things too much, but here are some examples. Our necrophilia addict is a guy named Robert. He can't get an erection unless a woman is dead, so he starts murdering people and having sex with them after. He also brings home a corpse for him and his wife to enjoy
That's not all though. He kills animal and bathes with their body parts. When it's not busy trying to be explicitly offensive, it's busy doing plenty of padding. There are some scenes that were pointless. There is an ongoing scene in the film that repeats itself. It's a skinning of a rabbit (which managed to make my stomach churn) but there are also many scenes of Robert walking around and doing nothing of note. I get the feeling there wasn't enough stuff for a full length feature, so the director resorted to padding. I won't reveal the ending, but it is what one of the most messed up scenes I have ever seen in my life. You wanna know why this is banned in places? The ending most likely has plenty to do with it. I guarantee you that you'll have trouble getting aroused for a day after or so. I know I did
Final thoughts: This won't be for everyone, that's an understatement. I got some strange satisfaction from it, but it's not something I'm ever going to watch again. It was downright horrifying, and did what it set out to do. Believe the hype it's something else
5.5/10
