| NEKROMANTIK has established itself as the number one cult film from Germany in the last decade and for good reason; this ground-breaking horror film is also a love story with a twist. This unusual menage-a-trois (boy meets girl meets corpse) entails love, jealousy, murder and suicide. Available only on video until now, NEKROMANTIK deserves to be seen on the large screen, in all its lovingly gruesome detail. | ||

NEKROMANTIK 2- RETURN OF THE LOVING DEAD, concerns the further adventures of Betty from NEKROMANTIK. Mixing the mundane with the horrific, Buttgereit examines Betty's distraught life in the aftermath of her boyfriend's untimely and untidy death. Soon Betty discovers a new beau and must decide who to entrust her affections to- the new suitor or her dead boyfriend whom she has unearthed. Her ingenious solution to her quagmire is one of horror film's great moments. "A powerful piece of transgressive cinema, Nekromantik
combines a haunting score, economical montage and a gustsy take on horror's
potential for illuminating both our bodies and ourselves." |
