Review of Nekromantik (1988) by Michael A — 28 Jul 2016
Robert Schmadkte and his wife Betty have a fetish for blood and dead bodies. Luckily for them, Robert is in the right line of work for such a passion - he is part of a "clean up" crew, picking up dead bodies and taking them to the morgue. The bodies are often in states of decomposing or have limbs or sections missing. Robert often brings a body home for him and his wife to enjoy. Then one day his wife decides she prefers the latest dead body to her husband...
A perverse mess. Had some potential regarding exploring fetishes and perverse lifestyles, but wasn't too illuminating. The movie relies largely on shock value, and even then it is more schlock than shock. Cheap stunts for attention.
In the second half the movie tries to have some sort of meaning but it is just pretentious, rambling garbage.
In keeping with the z-grade nature of the movie, performances are generally quite unconvincing.
Not worth seeing, not even out of curiosity.
