Watch Nekromantik 2 For Free

I wanted to but couldn't!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

"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.

As a fan of film i cringe when i hear the word sequel, because let's face it films rarely if ever have sequels that come near the original and in horror films that number is a fraction of that. With that thought in mind there are films I've come to in my travels that at the end i ask myself or whoever is still in the room at that time " How can you follow that one up?". In many cases you just can't, however there is that time when lightning indeed does strike. Ironically i came to this when watching a sequel that I had absolutely no hope for what so ever and that film is nekromantik 2.Now before i defend my stance on this film let me catch all those uninitiated up to speed. We start out with the end of the first film where Rob is killing himself on the bed but set in an archival seepiatone lens. Cut to Monika, a nurse with a real nasty fetish, She finds Rob obituary and decides his work is not done. So she takes him home and has her fun but as usual something comes up. Monika meets a nice guy who dubs porn films for a living. The two hit it off and a really nice romance blossoms and of course old habits die hard. After some odd indicators that Monika isn't who she says she is and some soul searching she decides to have her cake...or corpse and eat it too resulting in a creative but disgusting solution to her love troubles.Now first off i do not in any way shape or form advocate or condone necrophilia but the film was solid. The script was coherent, the casting was good, the placement of characters actually made sense witch really cut on continuity errors..which we all is a hallmark in horror sequels. The film itself was in my mind very well made, everything was here. It was dark, disturbing, more disgusting at some points than the original. I even admired the other flashback scene where Betty comes to Robs grave and gets angry that someone pilfered the plot before her. Now sitting she thinks back to the last time they spoke and how she tore him down realizing how nasty she treated him and cries at his empty plot. In closing this film is not for everyone and that is a actually a gross understatement...no pun intended . Love it or hate it this is one of the few times that one will find a film that actually lives up to the original. The fact that people still talk about Nekromantik twenty five years after its release to me says something and on top of that the fact that the sequel is still just as talked about really says something about the film in the terms that how often does that happen. Who really talks about Halloween part three, or nightmare on elms street part two...not many. All in all this is worth the watch...if your strong enough that is. all the good points aside this is still a film that deals graphically with something that most will find repulsive, reviewer included.

Robert Schmadtke's corpse is dug up by a female freak who sexually molests it named Monika(Monika M), a nurse whose friends enjoy watching a seal being mutilated for kicks. Her pad decorated with photos concerning the human body's anatomy, Monika M is consumed with her obsessions. She meets a punctual nerd named Mark(Mark Reeder), whose profession is dubbing porn films in German. Mark and Monika begin a blossoming romance, but she envisions him as Robert when they are making love. Soon Mark begins to realize the kind of perverted sick puppy he's in a relationship with, pondering whether or not to break ties with Monika M. Meanwhile, Monika M decides to ditch (most of)Robert's decaying body, sawing the head and arms in a disgusting, lengthly sequence which will be certain to test the threshold for the grotesque of even the most strong-stomached gorehound. Keeping Robert's severed head in a wooden chest and his pecker in her refrigerator, Monika M will have to come to a decision regarding Mark and the result is quite a hatchet job, let me tell you(*wink* *wink*).Well, you do see a little bit of necro-loving, and if you are looking for some shocking, disturbing subject matter, director Jörg Buttgereit doesn't fail to deliver the goods. We get to see Monika M passionately kissing the slimy rotted mouth of dead Bobby, and she cries agonizingly as the saw tears away during the gruesome decapitation sequence. Oh, and Jörg Buttgereit's camera quietly observes Monika M slowly disrobing the bloody rags from Bobby's decomposing corpse, her hands ever so gently caressing the gaping wounds. There's a calm in how she goes about her business, taking her time to go over this new man in her life. I'm sure animal lovers will be chomping at the bit to see the seal being cut open with it's skull pulled away, as the ladies enjoy their little get-together, gnawing on their snacks, a muted fellowship of fascination and intrigue, eyes glued to the television screen. Mark's reaction to this repulsive display(..after the girls bid adieu)on screen, is perfect as it reflects the normal gut response regarding just what kind of fiend he has been dating all this time..this revelation(..in not so many words, just an expression of horror)places a wedge between them, not hard to understand considering the circumstances. Yet, Mark and Monika will contemplate their relationship, and what he decides will greatly affect the eye-opening outcome.Jörg Buttgereit's methodical, slow-moving approach(..such as this extended sequence where Mark and Monika begin courting, taking in a trip to a carnival and zoo)might turn viewers off as much as the bizarre content. He claims that his film is more of a romance..sure, it's one hell of a warped romance, that's for sure. The "success" of the first film(..and this sequel) I think derives from the matter-of-fact style the director shoots his subjects. What's even more interesting is the fact that Monika M is quite an attractive young woman who wouldn't need to raid a grave for sexual gratification, and maybe that also adds an extra wallop to the film. Jörg Buttgereit takes plenty of time shooting the sky or a lizard / snail under Monika's surveillance as she conducts her sickening activities.The opening of the film carefully studies Monika's desecration of Robert's grave, preparing us for what is to come. Watch at your own risk. Not for the easily nauseated.

*******CONTAINS SPOILERS*************** Anyone with a more extreme taste for horror cinema would surely have come across the Nekromantik films at one time or another, and after finally hearing so much about them i procured copies of 1 and 2. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.. I will not go into part one here, but part 2 was simply a really low budget (it looks horrible, which kind of gives the film a dirty nihilistic feel) art fest with two extreme gore sequences...The first is a massively long sequence of the 'protagonist' cutting up the dead body of Rob which she has dug up, the scene drags on for what seems like 25 minutes, with Monika slowly sawing each limb off the corpse and pulling out its entrails. The comes the wholly unnecessary seal autopsy. I still have no idea what the point of this footage was, but i ended up fast forwarding through it. The final sequence is what got this film 2 stars from me. This scene involves Monika finally deciding that she wants the best of both worlds, that is her living boyfriends body, with her dead boyfriends head. This scene is extreme to say the least, but doesn't make up for the rest of the movie...In between the gore sequences we have incredibly long and tedious scenes of the girl and her new boyfriend, random cuts to snails, and black screens??? As a whole, the movie is fairly unwatchable. I fast forwarded through 70% of the movie (and i never do that) because it was simply painful to watch.Its like Jorg Buttface was giving a slap to the face of gorehounds, saying "im going to give you one real cool gore sequence, but before you see that, you're going to have to sit through the *beep*est 90 minutes of celluloid you're likely to see this year!" And i include the cutting up of the corpse.. Even though it has great special effects, it drags on and on and on and on and on and on, not only testing the viewers hardened stomach (which anyone who watches this would clearly have), but also the viewers patience.Don't believe the hype about this movie. You have been warned.
