    • Alternate versions
      Allegedly, the Japanese theatrical version was heavily cut, and edited together with Nekromantik 2 (also heavily cut) to make one long film.

    Gross.... Pure Gross
    This movie is the sickest movie that I have ever seen. One good thing about the movie is that it did have a decent plot during the movie enough for me to go by. I couldn't believe some of the scenes that I was watching and I had to even close my eyes during the scenes of animal mutilation. This one is a good one to churn your stomach a little, or a lot. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone into some real gross stuff, give this one a look.
