Nekromantik 2 (Germany, 1991)

This is the story of a woman who digs up a corpse from the local cemetery, takes it home and makes love to it. Yes, you read it right! I will not go into the details of this, but I must say the film is quite graphic. Not only does she make love, she then proceeds to clean the corpse, dresses him up and finally cuts him into pieces in her bathtub. There is very little dialogue and a lot of romantic music with violin and cords, as if to make us believe that the woman is really in love with the dead guy. And that is not all: this woman, whose name we never get to know, is also dating a guy (alive) who starts to question her new girlfriend’s postmortuary habits, like showing him her photo album full of coffins from her relatives. When one day he discovers a part of the dead guy in the fridge, she has no other option but to kill him, and of course have sex afterwards.

Needless to say, this is one of the most graphic movies I have seen. It is a low-budget film, but it is so realistic it makes your stomach weak. This one is just for hardcore gore fans.
