Girl invites boy to her flat to crack open a cold one.

Following on from the events of Nekromantik, this film quickly takes a slightly different path and introduces some new characters (although the main corpse belongs to someone familiar to fans of the first film).

The story this time around is all about a nurse (Monika M.) who digs up a corpse and proceeds to get all freaky naughty with it. But when she meets a nice young man (Mark Reeder) she has to hide her perverse sexual taste and keep things slightly more conventional. The young man soon realises that something is a bit off but he's not sure what it is. Meanwhile, the nurse is finding it more and more difficult to restrain her more extreme urges.

Director Jorg Buttgereit, who once again co-wrote the thing with Franz Rodenkirchen, retreads familiar territory but with a bit more money to throw around. This isn't always a bad thing (Evil Dead II comes to mind, of course) but Buttgereit fails to make the most of his opportunity and dilutes the movie's many better moments with far too many extraneous scenes and self-indulgent moments. The prime example that springs to mind is the excerpt we are shown of a black and white "arthouse" movie that our lead characters view in a cinema.

The central subject matter is, of course, still shocking, the acting is better and the effects are an improvement. There's also some more animal cruelty to offend people so this will keep fans happy. Sadly, all of that good work is undone by a lack of discipline in the editing department and the fact that there's not enough new material here to warrant the entire movie. And that's why I rate it as a movie that's slightly below average, especially when compared to it's predecessor.
