Our view on Nekromantik 2
Jörg Buttgereit’s takes a slow buildupup in this extreme horror movie. The buildup where Monika and her new boyfriend Mark go dating and visit a fairground and a zoo are a big contrast to the scenes where Monika is loving the corpse she bas in her house. There is some animal cruelty (the killing of a real seal that was not neccesary and pure for shock) The climax at the ending of the movie is making up for the flaws in this film. Certainly not for everyone. Exploitflix warning.
