Meanwhile, Chvrches reunite with their pal Robert Smith of The Cure for a rendition of their song “How Not to Drown,” recorded live at the Brixton Academy.

When Jorg Buttgereit unleashed Nekromantik on the world in 1987 he set his stall out as being both a controversial and fascinating director, the film crossing several lines of taste and decency and climaxing with one of the most outrageous and bold scenes that I’d seen, and I was a student of the BBFC’s infamous 72 title list of films banned under the Video Recordings Act 1984.
Four years later, he served up the sequel, Nekromantik 2, which not only opened by revisiting the final few minutes of the first one as part of the credit sequence, but further cemented his reputation as a true horror cinematic maverick.
Nekromantik 2 is a bizarre film, part shock fest and part fairy tale, as it tells the story of Monika (Monika M), a pretty grave robber who digs up the corpse of the first movie’s protagonist Rob in order to carry on a relationship with it.

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.
