Watch Schramm For Free

Fantastic!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

"Schramm" is a movie by German underground filmmaker Jörg Buttgereit and let me start right away with the best thing, probably the only good thing. It only runs for slightly over an hour. Then again, he has also made short films, so maybe not even this is a good aspect. If you know Buttgereit, you know what to expect. Lack of story, bad acting and everything the movie does is follow up on one disgusting scene with the next one. It doesn't matter if it's sexual, violent or sexist. There is nothing wrong with that if you manage to constrict a convincing story about these displays, like Tarantino does for example all the time, but Buttgereit does not and he simply has no talent as a filmmaker at all. This is a repulsive film from start to finish. It is kinda interesting to see some cast members' names, such as Xaver Schwarzenberger or lead actor Florian Koerner von Gustorf and what direction their careers took in the 20 years after this film here. Quite a good chance that this is the worst career effort by many people in here. Unless they starred in other Buttgereit films. Highly not recommended.

i could set here and tell you this was the greatest killer movie ever made like oh so many other on there review of this film ...but i wont ...il let you decide that for your self ... as for the film its self ... i must say it meant a lot to me on an emotional level ... the man hates himself ... thinks hes fat ... hates being a man ... and that makes him "crippled" in his own head ... sure this is my view on it .... and yes this film has its "eraserhead" moments .... but the film is worth checking out ..i own it now ... and as for the tag line ... lol ..hhmm i remember a band once that had a song that i swear almost word for word used the very tag line from this film ..hhmmm TODAY I AM DIRTY .... i want to be pretty ... TOMORROW I KNOW IM JUST DIRT ..... boy who was that ..oh yes ,mayrlin manson ....i always said his lyrics were too good after the portrait album ...lol... and d@m him ...those would have been cool lyrics for me to use ...lol... GOOD FILM PAY THE 4 BUCK TO RENT AT LEAST ....(4), vocalist - GOD IN A MACHINE

Jorg Buttgereit's "Schramm" is one of the most disturbing movies ever made.This film about a lonely man,a serial killer named Lothar Schramm is very tragic and sad.It has some very interesting shots/angles and offers plenty of disturbing images.The scene where Lothar nails through his penis with a hammer is truly revolting.The soundtrack is excellent-very gloomy and depressing."Schramm" is definitely my favourite Buttgereit's film,so anyone who likes serial killer cinema won't be disappointed.There are also two gruesome serial killer movies made in Europe,but I haven't seen them yet:Uwe Boll's very disturbing and grim "Amoklauf"(1992)and Gerald Kargl's "Angst"(1983),Austrian serial killer film that is as intense and disturbing as they come.All three movies are very worthy of mention and research.

This is the first film I've seen of Buttgereit's and it's mercifully short. Only 65 minutes long. And if it's any indicator of NEKROMANTIK or DER TODESKING, then I think I'll give them a pass, too.Two Jesus freaks call up Schramm wanting him to convert. He invites them in to sit down. Schramm then comes up from behind and slits the guy's throat, and then kills the girl (who's with the guy) with a hammer. He then photographs their dead bodies in various poses and likes to put lipstick on them.Schramm also has bizarre sexual fantasies like hammering nails into his dick, having sex with his dead female victim, and having sex with a plastic blow-up vagina.As Schramm repaints the blood-splattered wall in his apartment, he slips and falls, killing himself. The camera lingers on his paint soaked body with the little splatter of blood dripping down into the white paint. And that's about it.The DVD extras include some early Buttgereit student films he shot back in the 80s, trailers for NEKROMANTIK I & II, and DER TODESKING. There's also a documentary on the making of SCHRAMM that's about half as long as the film itself.Some press reviews have compared this to HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER but I think that they should all get their heads examined because this one doesn't even come close. It's too arty and boring for that, although it doesn't sink into the kind of silliness that a Nick Zedd film would stoop down to. 3 out of 10
