I happened to find this movie by accident doing a search on the German shocker "Nekromantik" on ebay. The storyline sounded interesting enough with elements of "Nekromantik" and "Buio Omega" and other sick, twisted films. As far as I am concerned, this movie was boring, zero atmosphere, decent acting, and way to artsy.
The story starts with the two lead characters (Joey and Laura) walking through a forest with a narration of Edgar Allen Poe's Annabelle Lee. The next scene we see Laura in her apartment take a stumble and dies after hitting her head (I am guessing since it is all off scene). When Joey discovers her it is all to much to take and he goes on a rode trip with her corpse, staying at random motels. There are many times where he is hallucinating and thinking about the past and all this leads up to is his imminent self destruction.
The movie plays very slowly and is only a 70 minute film. Nonetheless, it feels like 2 hours. The story goes nowhere and leads up to a conclusion that I could have guessed even before the opening credits rolled through. The acting was decent, but the actors weren't given many lines to work with. The music was sometimes good with opera here and there but then they would through in some terrible alternative rock music that just makes you want to gag and takes away from the movie. The one thing the movie had going for it was all the poetic narration. It added something original to the movie, but other than that, very disappointing. 4/10
