(Yes, there is ‘Nekromantik 2’ which I still need to watch.)

There were other great scenes in the movie: the hanging corpse slowly bleeding over the plates, Betty taking a blood bath with her sunglasses on (OMG I love the meme I made and posted above, as well as on my IG – you’re welcome, internet), the threesome sex scene, Robert’s jar collection showcasing the body parts, the cat’s insides being used as an exfoliant by Robert ( fake cat, also, I am going to hell LOL exfoliant), when Robert goes to the movie theater and leaves in the middle of a scene when a girl is being brutally attacked (this one left me scratching my head…), when Robert pays a prostitute for a good time at the cemetery, the peaceful dream sequences from Robert, and when an unknown woman (Betty?) digs with a shovel at Robert’s grave at the very last scene before fading to black. Poetry! That which gives you pleasure, will terminate you that which heals you, kills you that which drives you, ends you. It really was! Looking beyond the obvious, a fully erect penis ejaculating while its necrophiliac owner stabs himself to death is pure poetry. Talking about the grand finale, the suicide/ejaculation scene, it was a unique moment in cinema. This would fuck with your head life to death + death to life, human/pretend + animal/real.

Later on, at the end of the film, the Director played that same rabbit sequence but in reverse while also showing the culmination of the grand finale. When the Director decided early on the film to insert shots of a real rabbit being killed, skinned, and gutted (by the way, in a couple of articles I read last night I learned that the footage was from a rabbit farm where the animals were unfortunately destined to suffer that faith regardless, and was not shot, as one would think, just for the sake of Nekromantik) to show you the reality of death, of real death, was when I found myself wanting to look away or pause the video but I continued watching, uncomfortably. Nekromantik left me feeling exhausted and mildly nauseous, but not in a bad way (if there is such a thing).

Nekromantik is not for everyone, so this is your last chance to click away if you get offended by sex and death (or if you are underage). THIS FRESH BLOOD is spoiler-free, however, due to the juicy (LOL, juicy) nature of the scenes, I simply could not avoid giving away specific details of the story which may or may not ruin the movie for Nekromantik virgins. Plus, I devoured as much information as possible about the man behind it all, Director Jorg Buttgereit, so I was in reading mode all throughout the night. THIS FRESH BLOOD is reviewed here at immediately after watching the movie in question, however, due to the fact that Nekromantik was too much for my brain to process last night (12/30/16, 8:27pm PT), I decided to wait until today to put my thoughts in writing.

Continue reading if you would like to know why, and proceed with caution if you are easily offended (or underage). Last night I watched Nekromantik (1987) and I am still overwhelmed with awe and admiration. The exercise of watching relevant horror movies –for the first time– in order to discover that new piece of hidden treasure that would shake me to the core, has finally paid off. This is it! This is what THIS FRESH BLOOD was meant to do.
