Justifiably notorious, this oft-banned cult film is not for the squeamish! Rob Schmadtke (Bernd Daktari Lorenz) has the perfect job for a necrophiliac: cleaning up places where people have been killed. His girlfriend, Betty (Beatrice Manowski), has a similar fetish, and when Rob brings his work home with him one day, he has a rotting rival for her affections. Shot on a shoestring budget using Super 8 film, NEKROMANTIK has a home-movie feel that makes its story even more unsettling. In German with English subtitles.
