Entry Thirteen: Nekromantic (1988)

Nekromantic (1988)

"Death is just the beginning..."

Somewhere, I promised I'd close off "sexy movie November" here in the Basement of Sleaze with something extra-special, and here it is:  the German necrophilia fuckfest Nekromantic!

After the title card "Warning: some of this film may be seen as 'grossly' offensive and should not be shown to minors!!!" and a close-up shot of a woman pissing in a field, we're introduced to Rob (Bernd Daktari Lorenz, who went on to become a German porno writer/director and helped out with the music and effects on this film), who works cleaning up corpses on and around the autobahn.  Quiet, creepy Rob is new to the job, disliked by his seasoned co-workers and enjoys taking body parts home from work (which include a fetus; all lovingly detailed in a montage).  His girlfriend Betty (Beatrice Manowski, from Wenders' Wings of Desire (!)) gets naked a lot and bathes in bloody water while singing and wearing sunglasses.  Eventually, Rob brings home an entire rotting corpse and affixes a dildo fashioned from a wooden bedpost to it (complete with condom!), which Betty fucks while he caresses and kisses it.  In a slo-mo scene, Betty makes the corpse give her head after reading erotic literature to it (fuck me; I can't believe I just typed that!).  When Rob loses his job, bitchy Betty calls him a wimp and leaves to find a rich man who can supply her with corpses.  Rob kills a cat, writhes around in its guts and attends a porno movie, where he sits next to a dude who bears more than a passing resemblance to Bill Nye, the Science Guy.  He tries to sleep with a prostitute in a graveyard, but murders her and goes to the bone-zone with her corpse, instead.  In the end, Rob takes his own life by plunging a knife into his guts, graphically ejaculating while doing so...The movie then closes with mondo footage of a (real) rabbit being killed and skinned.

I know you're all masturbating right now, so I'll not interrupt with any closing remarks.  Happy Thanksgiving, folks!
