Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Graphic, low-budget gore-shocker about Rob and Betty, a couple of ordinary necrophiles who apparently don't mind if their dead sexual partners are not so fresh. Rob's job affords him the opportunity to bring home corpses and the odd body part; when he loses his job, he loses Betty, and Rob's life gets REALLY bizarre. Written by Jeff Hole <jeffhole@aol.com>

Trivia
Jörg Buttgereit said in an interview that he never intended to be a director and Nekromantik was just a film to rebel against the German film rating system, trying to shock as many people as possible. See more »Alternate Versions
Allegedly, the Japanese theatrical version was heavily cut, and edited together with Nekromantik 2 (also heavily cut) to make one long film. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Jorg Buttgereit's "Nekromantik" is one of the most taboo-breaking horror films ever made.Very few movies talk openly about necrophilia("Aftermath","Kissed","Buio Omega","Lucker","Love Me Deadly","Nekro","Mosquito the Rapist"),however this subject is quite fascinating because it draws links between sex and death.Rob(Daktari Lorenz)cleans different places and removes the corpses whenever there was a murder,or an accident.One day,Rob's girlfriend(Beatrice M.)has an idea to steal a corpse and to play with it.The corpse is treated like the third person and all of them make a perverted threesome.But one day Rob is fired from his work and his girlfriend dumps him,and leaves with the dead lover.For Rob it's a beginning of complete madness... "Nekromantik" is pretty gross-there is plenty of yucky gore on display.The ending is truly sick and memorable.So if you like extreme cinema give this one a look.8 out of 10.
