Nekromantik
Directed by Jorg Buttgereit
A twisted man brings home a corpse for him and his wife to use sexually in this controversial cult hit from German director Jörg Buttgereit. Rob and Betty are hardcore necrophiliacs. But when Betty runs away with the decaying corpse Rob's brought home, things get really, really messed up. Though NEKROMANTIK was banned in many countries thanks to its extreme subject matter, the film's perverse parodic edge made it a hit with horror and extreme cinema fans (including John Waters) in 1987. Even today, it's not for the faint of heart - or easily offended. (In German with English Subtitles) Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.
A twisted couple practice necrophilia in this controversial cult hit.
Cast: Bernd Daktari Lorenz, Beatrice Manowski, Harald Lundt

A classic. It feels like a porno though. Most of the movie is just necrophilic sex. It can be a fun watch depending on what you're into (whether it be the sex or the shock value), but I would recommend Nekromantik 2 to most viewers. It has less sex and a more interesting/involved plot, while still keeping the great VFX, artsy visuals, beautiful score, and transgressive nature.
Get ready for a nasty one.
I am willing to give every movie a chance, but I’ll stop at animal cruelty. This movie is not for me.
Weird movie one step lower-brow than Toxic Avenger. Director very obviously has a piss kink. . . . HOWEVER, an extra skull for the guy that actually washed his hands after and didn't walk around with dickhands for the next couple hours, like some of y'all (you know who you are) Really plays up the disgust angle, which is honestly the only stuff that gets me anymore.
