Stars: Monika M, Mark Reeder, Lena Braun, Carola Ewers, Astrid Ewerts, Eva-Maria Kurz, Daktari Lorenz, Beatrice Manowski | Written by Jörg Buttgereit, Franz Rodenkirchen | Directed by Jörg Buttgereit
After the Arrow Film release of Nekromantik it was only a matter of time before Nekromantik 2 made its way onto Blu-ray. Another banned movie featuring people with an infatuation with the dead, this one takes things a little more extreme, if that was even possible.
When Monika (Monika M.) meets Mark (Mark Reeder) they soon become lovers, but this causes problems for the nurse. While Mark is handsome and trustworthy, the corpse is a better lover. How can she decide between the two?
Nekromantik 2 feels very much like the first film but with a bigger budget. This time though there is a satirical edge to the film which makes fun of the art film style with which it actually embraces at the same time.

Jörg Buttgereit’s notoriously moist horror/gore film Nekromantik (1987) has been churning stomachs for two and a half decades. In honor of this German film’s 25th anniversary, a new DVD release is planned for May 2013 by Titan Video. While this news may excite many a die-hard gore-hound, the film is a tough sell to many other horror fans. Nekromantik - still banned in numerous countries around the globe - has a tendency to upset and nauseate its viewers… whether they adore or deplore the movie.
The film is about a young couple, Rob and Betty, who gain sexual satisfaction from the use of human remains. Rob has a job removing dead bodies and body parts from public areas. Thanks to this grisly career, Rob and Betty have a constant supply of human pieces. One day Rob comes home with an entire corpse, and it becomes the couple’s obsession.

Titan Video has announced the impending return of Nekromantik to American DVD, to mark the film's 25th Anniversary. Directed by controversial German filmmaker Jörg Buttgereit, Nekromantik depicts a bizarre love triangle between a boy, a girl and a rotting corpse. The low-budget film has developed a cult rep for its graphic depiction of necrophilia and copious amounts of gore and squishy corpse stuff, and it secured a rebel reputation for Buttgereit, whose films have been banned, censored and otherwise repressed in many countries (including his native Germany). The Nekromantik DVD package comes with alternate cover art (versions shown above) and includes the following features: New 1.33:1 digital transfer mastered from producer Manfred O. Jelinski’s 16mm inter-negative German language with removable English subtitles Full running audio commentary by Jörg Buttgereit and co-author Franz Rodenkirchen Featurette with outtakes and interviews with Buttgereit and producer Manfred O. Jelinski. The Making of Nekromantik...
