THIS FRESH BLOOD: Nekromantik 2 (1991)

Original Post Date: 03.13.17

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)
