Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

BA_Harrison As if we could ever forget, director Jörg Buttgereit reminds viewers of how his first Nekromantik film ended during this sequel's opening credits (it wasn't pretty, as I'm sure you will recall—a suicide that involved a whole mess of bodily fluids). Amazingly, the ending to Nekromantik 2 is even more shocking and gory, and to get there one has to wallow in an even greater level of depravity.Buttgereit's film opens with attractive necrophiliac Monika (Monika M.) paying a visit to the grave of Robert Schmadtke (the central character from the first film) and exhuming his body, taking the already decaying corpse back to her pad for some icky sexual antics. Soon after, however, the young woman embarks on a regular relationship with a live dude, Mark (Mark Reeder), and decides to ditch her dead guy, dismembering the stiff in her bath-tub (keeping only his head and mouldy tally-whacker for old time's sake!).As hard as she tries, though, Monika cannot completely shake her craving for humping the deceased, and begins to imagine Mark as Robert during sex. After fighting her urges, the girl finally gives in, hacking off Mark's head during sex, and swapping it for that of the decomposing Robert. It's one hell of a sickening scene and is sure to shock all but the most hardened gore-hounds.But while extreme horror/splatter fans are more than catered for, there are downsides to this sequel as well: at 104 minutes, it's waaaay too long, the generous running time allowing the pace to drag and for Buttgereit to indulge his pretentious side a tad too often. Thus, viewers are treated to a dull scene in the art-house cinema where Monika meets Mark (did we really need to see so much of the poncey film they were watching?), random shots of snails and slugs, a bizarre musical interlude in which a man with a ponytail tinkles the ivories while a woman wails a song, and a sickening moment in which Monika watches the dissection of a dead seal with her equally twisted friends (animal lovers might want to look away: this bit is really stomach churning).Overall, I think I slightly prefer the original film (if only because it's about half an hour shorter), but if you're a fan of Buttgereit's style, definitely give part 2 a watch: there's more than enough nastiness to make it worth your while.

gunslinger861 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.

trashgang After the unexpected success of the first part it came clear that there would be a second part. Starting of were the first one ended. That was/is already the reason for most of the viewers to eject the DVD. The person spanking the monkey and by getting his orgasm cutting himself is offending. The acting is better but still worse, the story line is also a turkey but this kind of movies must have it from the gore factor and yep, there's a lot. Taking a bath in the blood of your victim for example. Like the first one the movie is a bit too long but the second part also became cult due the fact of , again, the love scene. But this time the effects are better, no blur, delayed visions, this time straight. And what a sequence it is, a girl making love to a guy, suddenly she takes a knife and cut of his head, all watchable in front of the camera, before he dies she makes sure that he still has a hard on. Having that done she immediately replaces his head with the rotting head of her ex lover, anyway, if your not into gore this part will make you vomit, not for the squeamish. Again, catch the limited double disc DVD, be sure not to loose your headGore 5/5 Nudity 3/5 Effects 5/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

EVOL666 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
