This is "Necronos", a German(-language) 2010 movie by writer and director Marc Rohnstock. According to IMDb, it runs for 2 hours and 7 minutes, but the version I watched only went on for 111 minutes and that's perfectly enough. First things first: If you expect quality storytelling or great acting, then this is not your movie to see. This is splatter, this is gore. And in order to get in as much blood and violence as possible, they had to make cuts in other areas. The cast includes many successful actors from the genre, such as the incomparable Manoush of course. I am not a fan of bloody horror films at all I must say, but i still see some positive in here. Unlike some other movies from this genre, it was obvious from start to finish that this movie (the way Rohnstock wrote it) did not take itself seriously at all. The result was that it got pretty absurd at times, but it also made it something similar to a comedy actually and these moments were the best the film had to offer. There are many way worse splatter films out there. Nonetheless the movie dragged a bit sometimes and it did not turn me into a fan of the genre either, which is why I have to give it a thumbs-down. It is not a failure though and genre fans may have a great time watching I believe.
