ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Michael_Elliott Nekromantik 2 (1991) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Monika (Monika M) is a nurse who has a desire to have sex with corpses. This very strange fetish of hers is something she tries to keep from the man (Mark Reeder) she's dating but soon he finds out.Jorg Buttgereit's NEKROMANTIK is a film that pretty much sent shock waves down the horror community and it quickly gained a notorious reputation for being a work of art that really managed to cross several lines. This sequel isn't nearly as good but there's no doubt that fans of the director will want to check it out and especially since it contains more bizarre and rather vile scenes between the living and the dead.NEKROMANTIK 2 is a more polished and better looking film as it's clear the director was working with more money. I think the raw nature of the film movie is what helped make it so memorable but I personally didn't mind the more polished look here. The biggest problem with this sequel is the fact that it clocks in at 102-minutes, which is way too long. I think there were several sequences that could have been edited out of the movie and it would have made it more entertaining. The movie that the two are seeing on a date could have been edited out and I'm not exactly sure what the seal autopsy has to do with anything other than letting the viewer experience some real gore.As usual, the special effects were quite good and I must say that the corpse was a very good design. I really liked the look of it and I must say all the added slime and blood really made a great impression. I also thought the two leads were quite good here with both of them delivering believable performances. The film has several gory moments as well as some outrageous sex scenes and yes there are some involving the corpse. As usual, Buttgereit manages to take a rather vile subject and add an art house feel to it. The film certainly won't be for everyone but it's well-made.

callanvass I told myself I wasn't going to watch the second one after being vividly shaken by it for a day, but I ended up doing so. It's strange… The first Nekromantik wasn't as professional as this one, but it interested me more. This is less violent, and better structured overall, but it bored me silly. The first one had many boring moments as well, but it managed to fascinate me, this doesn't really have any of that. It's a continuation of events that took place in the ending of the first one. This time; a female takes over (Monika). She digs up Robert's corpse; she is a bombshell to say the least; much easier to look at than Robert, and just as twisted, though her fetish for the dead isn't quite as profound as Robert's. This one is rather conflicted on her fetish a little bit, but she is still appallingly disgusting. There are a couple scenes that managed to raise my eyebrows and disturb me. It was interesting to watch her confliction, whilst having withdrawal symptoms from it as well. This even manages to throw in a little love triangle with her, a guy (Mark Reeder), and a corpse… Monika eventually winds up succumbing to the lures of necrophilia; she embraces it, and it's rather uncomfortable. The padding here is even bigger than the first one. We get pointless shots of people eating eggs, and an autopsy of a seal (Which made me squirm.) Like the original. There is very little dialog. It has many issues that the first one has, despite the more professional look. The ending isn't quite as disturbing as the original, but it will still be entrenched in your mind. It's some pretty messed up stuff. But in the end, this is just too boring with way too much padding to succeedFinal Thoughts: It's a shame. This had potential, despite being unpleasant; it bored me silly on one too many occasions. Expect a lot of the stuff that you saw in the original, only much more boring. I would give this one a miss. I also have a message for the director... NO MORE SEQUELS, PLEASE!4.5/10

Scarecrow-88 Robert Schmadtke's corpse is dug up by a female freak who sexually molests it named Monika(Monika M), a nurse whose friends enjoy watching a seal being mutilated for kicks. Her pad decorated with photos concerning the human body's anatomy, Monika M is consumed with her obsessions. She meets a punctual nerd named Mark(Mark Reeder), whose profession is dubbing porn films in German. Mark and Monika begin a blossoming romance, but she envisions him as Robert when they are making love. Soon Mark begins to realize the kind of perverted sick puppy he's in a relationship with, pondering whether or not to break ties with Monika M. Meanwhile, Monika M decides to ditch (most of)Robert's decaying body, sawing the head and arms in a disgusting, lengthly sequence which will be certain to test the threshold for the grotesque of even the most strong-stomached gorehound. Keeping Robert's severed head in a wooden chest and his pecker in her refrigerator, Monika M will have to come to a decision regarding Mark and the result is quite a hatchet job, let me tell you(*wink* *wink*).Well, you do see a little bit of necro-loving, and if you are looking for some shocking, disturbing subject matter, director Jörg Buttgereit doesn't fail to deliver the goods. We get to see Monika M passionately kissing the slimy rotted mouth of dead Bobby, and she cries agonizingly as the saw tears away during the gruesome decapitation sequence. Oh, and Jörg Buttgereit's camera quietly observes Monika M slowly disrobing the bloody rags from Bobby's decomposing corpse, her hands ever so gently caressing the gaping wounds. There's a calm in how she goes about her business, taking her time to go over this new man in her life. I'm sure animal lovers will be chomping at the bit to see the seal being cut open with it's skull pulled away, as the ladies enjoy their little get-together, gnawing on their snacks, a muted fellowship of fascination and intrigue, eyes glued to the television screen. Mark's reaction to this repulsive display(..after the girls bid adieu)on screen, is perfect as it reflects the normal gut response regarding just what kind of fiend he has been dating all this time..this revelation(..in not so many words, just an expression of horror)places a wedge between them, not hard to understand considering the circumstances. Yet, Mark and Monika will contemplate their relationship, and what he decides will greatly affect the eye-opening outcome.Jörg Buttgereit's methodical, slow-moving approach(..such as this extended sequence where Mark and Monika begin courting, taking in a trip to a carnival and zoo)might turn viewers off as much as the bizarre content. He claims that his film is more of a romance..sure, it's one hell of a warped romance, that's for sure. The "success" of the first film(..and this sequel) I think derives from the matter-of-fact style the director shoots his subjects. What's even more interesting is the fact that Monika M is quite an attractive young woman who wouldn't need to raid a grave for sexual gratification, and maybe that also adds an extra wallop to the film. Jörg Buttgereit takes plenty of time shooting the sky or a lizard / snail under Monika's surveillance as she conducts her sickening activities.The opening of the film carefully studies Monika's desecration of Robert's grave, preparing us for what is to come. Watch at your own risk. Not for the easily nauseated.

stuthu *******CONTAINS SPOILERS*************** Anyone with a more extreme taste for horror cinema would surely have come across the Nekromantik films at one time or another, and after finally hearing so much about them i procured copies of 1 and 2. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.. I will not go into part one here, but part 2 was simply a really low budget (it looks horrible, which kind of gives the film a dirty nihilistic feel) art fest with two extreme gore sequences...The first is a massively long sequence of the 'protagonist' cutting up the dead body of Rob which she has dug up, the scene drags on for what seems like 25 minutes, with Monika slowly sawing each limb off the corpse and pulling out its entrails. The comes the wholly unnecessary seal autopsy. I still have no idea what the point of this footage was, but i ended up fast forwarding through it. The final sequence is what got this film 2 stars from me. This scene involves Monika finally deciding that she wants the best of both worlds, that is her living boyfriends body, with her dead boyfriends head. This scene is extreme to say the least, but doesn't make up for the rest of the movie...In between the gore sequences we have incredibly long and tedious scenes of the girl and her new boyfriend, random cuts to snails, and black screens??? As a whole, the movie is fairly unwatchable. I fast forwarded through 70% of the movie (and i never do that) because it was simply painful to watch.Its like Jorg Buttface was giving a slap to the face of gorehounds, saying "im going to give you one real cool gore sequence, but before you see that, you're going to have to sit through the *beep*est 90 minutes of celluloid you're likely to see this year!" And i include the cutting up of the corpse.. Even though it has great special effects, it drags on and on and on and on and on and on, not only testing the viewers hardened stomach (which anyone who watches this would clearly have), but also the viewers patience.Don't believe the hype about this movie. You have been warned.
