Please don't spend money on this.

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

*******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.

The first "Nekromantik" is one of my favorite underground horror films. Although "Nekromantik 2" is shot beautifully and has some really good gore scenes, it just doesn't have the punch that the first one did. There are many scenes that are long and drawn-out and detract from the pace of the film. Some scenes seem like they don't belong in the film at all. There are some genuinely funny scenes that are good for a laugh, and definitely some strong gore that rivals the first "Nekromantik", but I found myself checking my watch too often. Buttgereit and crew could have easily shaved a half hour off this film and made it a more sleek and streamlined film, but being that Buttgereit seemed to have a bigger budget this time, it appears he wanted to spend it on filming as much footage as possible, not always to the benefit of the viewer. Still a decent experience and definitely worth checking out for the extreme horror enthusiasts, and the ending is suitably matched to the first film. Give this one a look 7/10

This is quite a beautiful course of death, and I should like to think that those who became enamored of Nekromantik,also here should find a maggoty morsel or two, to satiate their rotten pallets. I certainly did. Necrophilia has no favorites, and this time around, the haunts are reserved for the ladies. And who ever said that a corpse is worse off in the tender and dismembering hands of a woman, than in a mans'? This destructive little thing tells the tale of Monika, a nurse, whose greatest wish when coming home,after caring for her patients, is to have an absolutely still and passive face to greet her lovingly. And what better cadaverous candidate, than good old Rob whose been nursing coffin-boards for the last five years? A beautiful relationship soon evolves, and in the loving hands of Monika, Rob soon learns how to part with those tiresome appendages one calls legs, arms and head. But it seems that love moves in mysterious ways, and while her decaying amour is patiently waiting in a plastic bag, a second relationship between Monika and porno-voice-over-dubber Mark ensues. At first Mark seems completely at ease with this new found affair, but as time progresses, he is faced with, among others, the question: "Is a severed, rotten penis your everyday, refrigerator affair?" While Mark have seemed to be the most eager in the relationship, Monika on the other hand is sporting a deadened, sour face(Sexy, nevertheless!), which according to the German psychiatrist Erich Fromm in his great book "The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness", is often a hallmark characteristic of a necrophile. And exactly what kind of necrophile is Monika? In order to interpret the blood-feast to come, in which she at the climax of sex decides to saw off Marks head while still on top of a writhing him, one could see it from two angles. 1. She has mixed feelings regarding necrophilia, it is hard to come to terms with(In the beginning she vomits when she fondles Rob.) the loneliness of love for the dead, and Mark could represent her genuine hope of connecting with Life as well as Death. She has no intent of killing Mark, but in the battle between the fresh spring-shoot and the moldy, autumn leave, Death proves to be the victor, and in the end she must succumb to her lust for murder. 2. She is a calculating dame, and from the very beginning she is dead set on procuring for herself a fresh body. She really doesn't fancy Marks face, and do not need another one since she has Robs to begin with, and what better thing to do than wed Robs head with Marks body?! In my opinion both angles are just as plausible. While Nekromantik relied minimally on dialogue, and was perhaps a bit more surreal and introspective( Not to say that Nekromantik 2 isn't.Far from it!), part 2 has got more dialogue. Except from the obviously bigger budget this time, and that it has a woman leading the show, that is probably the only difference between the two. While I find the end sequence in Nekromantik rewarding and special, nothing had prepared me for the end sequence in Nekromantik 2!! The first time I saw it, it blew me away. Even if you are a seasoned gore-hound, I can almost guarantee you that you have never seen an ending as bloody and bizarre as this! F**king excellent! The music comes yet again courtesy of Daktari Lorenz,John Boy Walton and Herman Kopp, and this time Mark Reeder(playing the part of Mark.) has thrown in a few tunes as well. If you decide to buy the double disc edition of this sweet candy, listen especially to Reeders "Nekrowaltz" and "Pure", Waltons "Menage A Trois", and Kopps "Supper"! Perfect. I love the films, and I love the music! And that's the end of it.

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.
