I had a bad feeling when Sex & Death Mastermind Jorg Buttgereit introduced his film as a love story, not a horror story.
Confession time. I had built the anticipation so much for this sequel that I was really blindsided by how boring it turned out to be. I feel a little bit guilty for saying this but, I really did not like Nekromantik 2 (1991). Why? WHY!? Nekromantik (1987) was perfection and it was actually the highlight of THIS FRESH BLOOD series in 2016 (read review here).
I am completely out of words. I don’t want to dwell on the negatives so let’s stretch the positives and use bullet points for them, shall we? ** SPOILERS AHEAD **
Monika (our main character) steals Robert’s (the first movie’s main character) corpse from his freshly covered gravesite
Monika looks like a total badass while digging up the grave (smoke break anyone?)
Betty (Robert’s ex-girlfriend) makes a late appearance at the now empty gravesite (OMG Betty!)
Monika has tender sex with Robert’s corpse at her apartment, she seems to love Robert
Monika and Robert’s romantic polaroid’s
Monika meets a new [living] guy, Mark, and she seems to love him
Jorg Buttgereit’s cameo at the movie theater where Monika and Mark met
Monika looks yet again like a total badass while getting rid of Robert by chopping off his rotting body and returning it to the gravesite inside blue bags
Monika keeps the head and penis as souvenirs
Penis in the fridge (or is it leftovers?)
Girls night in with Robert’s head on the coffee table
Behind the scenes of porn dubbing
“She doesn’t want me to move during sex and takes weird pictures of myself.” – Mark
Mark’s dark ending met with the most original switcheroo (LOL Frankenhooker flashbacks!)
How do you call an embryo made out of headless daddy’s sperm? (I don’t know, I am asking you)
This fresh blood was not what I was expecting. (get it? I make jokes)
