Worst Movie Ever!


This is the worst movie I have ever seen period.

I like horror movies a lot. Good horror movies like The Exorcist, The Shining, Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead (original), Evil Dead 1&2, The Ring.

I even like some more underground horror such as Opera (by Lucio Fulci- classic), The Devil's Backbone, The Eye, Ringu.

Even some more brutal underground movies aren't that bad like Cannibal Holocaust and I Spit On Your Grave.

But this movie is just total crap!

Don't believe anyone that tells you it's any good.

It is only shocking. THe most disgusting movie I have ever seen and not in a good way. It's just stupid and the acting is horrible.

This movie has no redeeming value.

If you like death metal and underground horror. DOn't watch this movie because you hear it's brutal and you like brutal, scary, weird stuff. Skip this movie bceause it is not good( bad acting), it is not funny, and the brutal stuff is not worth seeing.

This should be #1 worst movie of all time!!!

You'd think that if you like Opera so much you would know that the film is obviously directed by Dario Argento. You'd also think that if you liked horror films so much you'd be very familiar with Argento's work and you'd be able to spot it from a mile away. Hmmmm. Interesting.

It's shocking aye.
Gory? Aye.
Is it horror? Not for me (though many would disagree). I see it as an unconventional stomach-churning lovestory.
Saying "I spit on your grave" and "Cannibal Holocaust" are better than this makes no sense at all. BOTH are pure exploitation and is a 30 minute gang-rape scene or a man sticking mud in a womens vagina before bashing her skull more redeeming?
You like underground classics and use Opera and Fulci in the same sentence...
You consider Ringu and The Devil's backbone as underground.
I know a lot underground movies which are a lot worse than Nekromantik.
Unlike you I'm not a big Cannibal Holocaust fan. I personally think it's overrated.
Nekromantik is and stays cult for me and I definately think it's a shocker but I don't consider it to be horror...

Phalanx666, you said you knew a lot of underground movies that where worse then Nekromantik... like what? Could you list one or two...? (I'm interested)

Good? You're not good.You just know how to hide.

Cannibal Holocaust is the only film in that list I've seen, so I can only comment on that one.....

How for ****s sake can you say you like Cannibal Holocaust less than Nekromantik?

Nekromantik barely had a story. That story was mixed -- for no apparent reason but shock value -- with an animal being skinned. The acting as well as the image quality were horrible. Tension was also completely missing. The only thing you see watching this film, is one disgusting scene after another.

Honestly.... in my opinion, anyone who thinks Nekromantik is a good film should see a psychiatrist as soon as possible.

reply

The film is sick - but some of what you say is a bit silly. Its not for no reason. For starters, necorphilia exists. And at least in this film it does illustrate his perversion driving him to kill, as it would. This makes it a study. Ted Bundy got off on corpses. This isn't pointless just because the study is on the dark side of human nature.

The animal being skinned does have relevence. Even if it isn't overtly telegraphed and spelled out for the audience.

The image quality was poor because it was shot on super 8. I thought it was rather impressive for a super 8 film. He made this on pocket change. He bumped up to 16mm as soon as he could afford to. And I gotta say I perfer this artistic filmic image quality to the common dv films being churned out today, on the low end side, and the George Lucas high end side.

I don't think this film is "good." Its horrid. And the sequel, in my opinion, will knock the breath out of you after its make your stomach churn. But that doesn't mean there is shock value alone going on. In fact, the truly horrific ending of part 2 is brilliantly structured in the context of the story. Its brilliantly executed as well. And completely inevitable, while being worse than anything you could imagine. Anyone who ENJOYS this should see a psychiatrist - but thinking it is a compelling film is not the same thing.

reply

Ted Bundy did not "get off on corpses". Perhaps you're thinking of Ed Gein. His case was supposedly the inspiration for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Even though he lived in Wisconsin (iirc).

I've not seen either of the Nekromantik movies but I find it hard to believe (from what I've read here and other places about the film) that it could be classified as art.

If you'd liked to see an interesting movie that concerns necrophilia check out 'Kissed' with Molly Parker. An unusual and non-graphic movie with necrophilia at its core.

Movies that investigate the dark side of humanity can be well done and compelling (ie. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Irreversible) but, I don't see the splatter/gore focused genre as introspective or artistic; its just exploitation cinema.

reply

Actually, Ted Bundy did have sexual relations with one corpse I believe.

Also, Nekromantik is a classic. Admit it or not, it is. It's disgusting, shocking, vile, depraved, perverted and BRILLIANT. However, like other users say, there are worse films out there, even on the topic of Necrophilia, such as Nacho Cerda's Aftermath.

But oh well, Buttgereit is a genius, just wish he'd make a new film already...

reply

Actually, you are pretty much right. Ted Bundy was known to have gone back to at least one victim's body. He put make-up on it and had sexual relations with it.

"Phalanx666, you said you knew a lot of underground movies that where worse then Nekromantik... like what? Could you list one or two...? (I'm interested)"

If you mean "worse" as in more graphic, look up the August Underground series.


Phalanx666 said: "Saying "I spit on your grave" and "Cannibal Holocaust" are better than this makes no sense at all. BOTH are pure exploitation"

You obviously missed the point of Cannibal Holocaust, as it is NOT pure exploitation, but rather a very important and, in its own way, beautiful, film.

As opposed to a live corpse? Or a dead living person?

You can't argue with my logic! Well, you can, but I won't listen!

I would say that Cannibal Holocaust transcends its Exploitation pigeon-hole and is, in many ways, quite ground-breaking.

Also, it has a great theme tune!

Nekromantik is a maserpiece, and one of my favourite art-house-films of all time. Buttgereit is my favourite director after Lucio Fulci. Buttgereit is a special kind og director. Many people says that he only makes ovies to shock. Thats not true. If he did that, he wouldn't have put all theese art-images and symbolism in his films. And also, it's only Nekromantik and Nekromantik 2 that are "shocking". Neither Schramm or Der Todesking have as many shocking elements in them.

reply

This film lacks a storyline and good acting. It's absolutely not shocking, just a bit disgusting and boring as hell.
A masterpiece? C'mon, don't make me laugh. It's not funny (ok, I chuckled once), not dramatic, not erotic, it's no horror picture and it isn't art. It's just crap.

I'm not getting into any arguments here I love all Jorg's films...I've met him and he's a really nice guy...check out the book Sex,Murder,Art for a more balanced view of his wonderful work.

reply

*beep* u guys!can´t u see that this movie is art?????

reply

You propably didn't like it because its NO horror.
Yet, I love it that everybody who doesn't like it admits its at least disgusting, pointless for them, with a purpose merely to shock - to me and the other guys that love that film its all this: drama, love, erotic, lustful, realistic, just brilliant and groundbraking.

But then again, some people take FREAKS (1932) as horror, while its not!

aCCept me for what I am / or piss off!
extravaganza, extreme, weird, *beep* :)

reply

i personally like this movie.

Whats cooler than having sex with dead people?

reply

Freaks is a horror film during the last 10 minutes. The rest is more like a tragicomedy.

Freaks had a story, though. It had decent acting. It was filmed adequately. It had tension. All this is missing from Nekromantik.

Nekromantik barely had a story. That story was mixed -- for no apparent reason but shock value -- with an animal being skinned. The acting as well as the image quality were horrible. Tension was also completely missing. The only thing you see watching this film, is one disgusting scene after another. You speak of drama and realism, but somehow I missed that.

reply

"Freaks" was is a tragicomedy and the last 10 mins are horror, you said, huh??That sounds greek to me (i'm greek anyway!!) muhahahahah - after this comment, I needn't say why you didn't see any plot (hey its about necrophiliacs life!), realism or drama in nekromantik.

It's interesting to see there are many groups of people who like Nekromantik films, some take it seriously, some take it for fun, even buttgereit doesnt (or doesnt want to) seem to take it seriously. (see making of featured in schramm VHS)

reply

On the commentary and making of for Nekromantic he does seem to take the movies themselves seriously - while not taking himself or the process seriously on set. If you like filmmaking, you can enjoy the process even on a meaningful film.

He actually says that he is quite confussed that people who take his films seriously are shocked to see them laughing, joking and messing around on set. He says they are serious and can be taken and should be taken as such - but that doesn't mean you can't have fun either. Especially on set where you have already gone through headaches of preproduction - have to inspire the actors, while making everyone wait through hours of set up and preparation for a few moments of shooting time - yeah, movies sets are a nightmare if they aren't fun. I've never heard of a "serious" film set. They're either laughing and fun, or they are yelling, demanding and unpleasant. Serious? What's that? That's just getting the job done.

reply

Yo, you're downright crazy If you think any underground death meatalhead wouldn't enjoy seeing a crazy German stabbing himself in the gut cumming blood and semen. And watching a cute little bunny rabbit getting his skin ripped off. Oh and a cute little kitten getting banged around in a bag till he dies. Oh yeah, and people having sex with a dead corpse. You don't know the first thing about underground horror. Especially if you compare something with this amount of meaning and symbolism to I Spit on Your Grave with absolutely no meaning exept to please sick rape hounds (not that I didn't enjoy it).

reply

Yes, but after the rapes she gets her revenge and that is just great stuff, hehehe ! I saw 'I Spit..' the same day I saw 'Last House On The Left' and liked it much more (Last House is really boring !) It's a far better revenge movie if you ask me.

But back to the main subject: 'Nekromantik' certainly is fun !, absolutely over the top ridiculous !

reply

Personally, I found Nekromantic extremely good. My perspective is this, a timeless story about a boy who loves a girl, girl leaves boy, boy is depressed as all hell. Umm..can't think of one off the top of my head, but a very easy, very "hollywood" plot backbone. Now you could go off and change the plot just a little and make him meet a new girl and make it a comedy "Along Came Polly" or you could could throw in some records and presto "High Fadelity." I'm sure my examples aren't perfect, but you get the idea. And here was a guy who wanted to take a tired old plot concept and put a slight twist on it. Only he had the balls to throw in necrofelia. Yeah the movie has it's moments where it is kinda grusome, but thats part of the beauty of it. It's art thats so ugly that you can't help but stair. It is the mangled car on the side of the road that we all slow down to take a look at because we want to see the mangled body to match the car. Of course this is just what I got from the movie.

opera=fulci??? oh my god... I love fulci, but that's blasphamie. Do some Argento homework.
