Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Leofwine_draca This controversial American film is one of the first to openly deal with the subject of necrophilia in a pretty graphic way, and has therefore rarely seen the light of day since it first slipped out on completion. A grim and depressing tale with one or two surprising twists along the way, this is a slow-moving but sometimes chilling story which maintains a surreal edge to it throughout. The film bizarrely mixes between sappy romance and cutting edge horror, and the end result is somewhat flawed but very interesting to watch. It involves your typical blonde-haired housewife who visits all the local funerals and caresses the corpses at every opportunity. She's noticed by a long-haired guy who works at the funeral parlour and who invites her to join his necrophiliac sect, a group of would-be Satanics who strip off at every available opportunity and have sex with the dead. Initially revulsed, she eventually comes around to the idea which leads to tragic events for her husband.For the most part, this seems like "safe", straightforward atmospheric horror but on occasion it's shocking and downright nasty. The murder of the rent boy near the beginning of the film is very gruesome, as it involves him being strapped to an operating table and messily drained of blood. Later on a guy's stomach is cut open and we get to see inside. Although these are the only moments in the film which contain brief hardcore gore, the effect is startling: you're left feeling unsettled for the rest of the viewing and unsure of what may transpire. Although obviously made on a low budget, the film has pretty realistic production values and strong direction by Jacques Lacerte, who handles things admirably. The casting is pretty good aside from the leading lady, Mary Wilcox, who I found grating in the extreme. Her idea of (over)acting reminded me of the girl who played Barbara in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, another actress that rubbed me up the wrong way, and therefore her presence is an irritant. Apart from this, nobody puts a foot wrong, especially in the case of the creepy and murderous bad guys.The romantic aspects sit glaringly with the horror content and I think were inserted to provide a contrast with the nastiness going on - Lacerte seems to be saying "look, here's normality", then later moves on to some of the nastiest perversion of mankind as the very opposite of normal. The film maintains a non-exploitative approach (aside from the ample nudity) and the music is sombre and at times melancholy, instead of being crass with over-the-top chords to shock. The finale contains a nice psychological twist which is a long time in coming but makes sense of the leading character's actions and motivations, so its worth sitting through if at times you find yourself frustrated. An intriguing oddity with a cold heart but original premise.

Sherparsa sickly movie indeed, although it's not as harsh as many other sickly movies out there anyway ...well, it was the times! and it still is somewhat today, perhaps even worse, with all the extremely gory movies of all types we're seeing in the last couple of decades or so ...apparently there are people out there who do really enjoy this kind of movie, just as they probably do enjoy being necrophiliacs ...for those seeking a full version of this movie, well, apparently there is one on YouTube, which i'm watching right now ...so, if it's truly the original copy and if it's going to be taken down soon, then why not hurry up and take a look as well as download it for yourself?

Coventry Wow, an obscure early 70's horror movie dealing with the topic of necrophilia! How provocative and controversial does that sound? Well, judging by the sound of the opening theme song, it's not provocative or controversial at all! The song, albeit lovely sung and catchy, sounds more like a prototypic Bond movie tune. Luckily enough that impression quickly fades away with the introduction of some very peculiar characters, like a psychopathic mortician who embalms a male prostitute when he's still alive and a peculiar woman who hangs around funerals and mortuaries just because she gets aroused by the sight of corpses. We learn that it all started at the burial of her beloved daddy. She approached the coffin when everybody else and started kissing him on the dead lips. Ever since that magical moment, she also gets sepia-colored flashbacks in which he plays with her when she was still a little girl. Okay, so what happens if these two completely demented individuals meet at a funeral? The mortician invites her to become a member of a secret cult of necrophiliacs and it's the beginning of a wonderfully twisted and perverted friendship! I can't believe there actually existed a movie with such a tremendously disgraceful plot outline and I didn't know about it until now! Of course, this is a zero-budgeted 70's grindhouse flick, so don't expect any vile sequences of gore or sleaze. The tone, atmosphere and suggestive stuff in "Love Me Deadly", on the other hand, are quite shocking and disturbing. Further in the film, the woman tries to build up a normal family life with a living and breathing male species (the brother of one of the corpses she tried to make it with), but she's forever drawn to the dead like bees are to honey. As strange and deeply alarming as it may sound, "Love Me Deadly" is a gentle and respectful portrait of people with … um … socially unaccepted sexual cravings. Necrophilia is automatically associated with filthy perverts exhuming bodies or climbing atop of half-rotten cadavers, but it looks as if this film single-handedly tries to general perception. You know, like 'necrophiliacs are normal people with jobs and friends like everybody else' or something like that. Up to you to decide whether that's sick or noble. This movie is nothing like "Lucker" or "Nekromantik", obviously, but still quite unpleasant to watch. There are numerous powerful sequences, like when Lindsay's husband follows her around to mortuaries and daddy's tomb. For you see, she's a very troubled girl with more than just one screw loose, but still you continuously feel sympathy for her. At least I did. She's not a monster, a murderer or a sex-addicted freak. She's a tormented soul with needs she can't openly express. I'm not familiar with 70's exploitation that make you contemplate about stuff, but "Love Me Deadly" does and that's truly unique. The gathering sequences are exaggerated, though, making it look as if the necrophiliacs are some sort of satanic cult. The character of the mortician is also made extra sinister and creepy to appear more to horror fans. The fantastic climax left me in a state of nausea, perplexity, disbelief and mild shock.

Eegah Guy This is the precursor to modern art-horror hybrids like KISSED or NEKROMANTIK. A frigid woman who likes funerals and is turned on only by dead bodies enters into a sexless marriage with CAROL BURNETT SHOW stud Lyle Waggoner and secretly joins a cult of necrophiliacs in a local morgue. For a film that had so much perverse and ghoulish potential, this film only partially entertains. There's a particularly shocking scene early in the film of a guy being embalmed alive but the film gets bogged down in the drama of marital problems in the second hour. While the serious approach to such outrageous material is greatly appreciated, a little more ghoulish horror would've been nice.
