While trying to open a portal to Hell to retrieve a long-lost love, a man finds his quest of locating the designated victim to draw the symbols required to do so far more challenging than the Dark Angel who assigned it to him thought it would be.An ultimately disappointing effort, this one was just flat-out flawed and not really that worthwhile. The main point of contention with this one is that it's just confusing and not all that easy to follow, tending to use far more flashbacks than necessary, most of those filled with going so far out of the traditional plot line (we do have about four or five of them, and none of them intersect until the finale) that overall it just becomes so confusing as to what's going on that eventually it just becomes moot as to what's going on. This one does have some wonderfully absurd images and ideas, as there's one scene with a pig you have to see to believe, and the concept of what's going on works when it's kept to a visual standpoint instead of trying to spell it all out, but that doesn't come close to justifying the rest of the flaws in here, and overall this one is just a jumbled, incoherent mess.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.

Four disjointed stories of horror loosely connected by a tattooed quija board.Story one is about a guy who keeps his dead wife in a bathtub and tries to bring her back....or rather....keeps saying she promised to come back. No mention of when she died, but funny how there's no decay.Two thugs come in and make an offer to bring the wife back. Something about gateways. But there is a fatal flaw with the plot. The guy doesn't choose his fate, as the narrative says...it's thrust on him against his will.Story two finds two brothers -- one who appears to be a crippled mute. Mr. Skinny -- a fat guy with a pig mask pops out of the TV and the kid finds him funny even tho he's covered with blood. Lots of torture scenes here, but I couldn't follow it. It's all over the map and not one frame makes sense.I THINK this 3rd story is about a guy who wants his brother back, but by this time all logic breaks down. The stories appear to be intertwined in a way that no sense can be made of them.That's it for me. I don't even know what the 4th tale is supposed to be but it appears to be related to the first in a way and features an extraordinarily effeminate man who loves a woman a bit too much. Net net -- this is a clunker.

Necromentia starts as a man named Hagen (Santiago Craig) is visited by two men, one of the men Travis (Chad Grimes) says that he know's Hagen is keeping the rotting body of his dead girlfriend Elizabeth (Zelieann Rivera) in his apartment & claims that he can help Hagen bring her back to life. Hagen is sceptical at first but decides to go along with Travis who says he can open a doorway to the other-side which he can enter & find Elizabeth but first Hagen has to die. Hagen finds himself in hell as he is part of a larger plan that involves betrayal, murder, deals with demon's & the supernatural...Directed by Pearry Teo (who seems to have written the Plot Summary on the IMDb's main page & even makes a few mistakes like saying Hagen & Elizabeth were married when they weren't, didn't he direct this thing?) this horror film seems to have been heavily influenced by the works of Clive Barker & in particular Hellraiser (1987) with the themes of grotesque demon's, the afterlife, hell, opening doorways to other dimensions & the two worlds colliding. I was amused to see the IMDb poster image for Necromentia claims that it's 'Seven meets Hellraiser but better than both...' which did make me laugh a bit actually as Necromentia isn't fit to even be mentioned in the same sentence as those two brilliant films (I'm not even sure where the Se7en (1995) comparisons come from) let alone be called better than both. The whole time-line of Necromentia & the way the plot unfolds is strange, what one would consider the start of the film is at the end, the middle of the film at the start & the end of the film at the start if that makes sense, I suspect the script was trying to be too clever for it's own good & present the story in such a way all the pieces fall together at the end in one giant twist revelation but I figured out where Necromentia was headed long before it finished & there's no great reason or narrative justification for the plot to be split up in such an odd way & for me didn't work at all. If you ignore the end credits Necromentia only lasts for seven five minutes which is still too long, the character's are shallow, any sort of explanation is vague & none of the character's have proper endings. At least it's short I suppose but I still couldn't recommend it.In keeping with the Hellraiser themes of immortality, being stuck in hell & demon's Necromentia also steals the look of Barker's classic & in fairness is visually nice to watch. There's chains, old scary looking surgical instruments, weird S&M style outfits (the main demon seems to wear an old WWII style gas mask), self mutilation & a dark morbid feel to the film with all sorts of bizarre wire like contraptions that encase people. There's also a Cenobite style monster that to it's credit looks great, it's a shame it doesn't do anything other than walk up a dark corridor but as I said the special make-up effects on it are mightily impressive. There is also a fat bloke wearing a Pig's head as a mask wrapped in barb wire who urges someone to commit suicide, one of the less successful attempts at being bizarrely grotesque & just comes off as rather odd & random. There's a bit of gore but again nowhere near as good as in Hellraiser, a guy slashes his own chest with a straight razor, a woman's finger is chopped off & someone's guts are pulled out.With a supposed budget of about $300,000 it's no wonder the film is dark, it's so you can't see anything but as far as low budget films go Necrmentia does look really good & at times visually striking even if I didn't like the plot or the way it's randomly sliced into three parts & shown in completely the wrong order. The acting is alright but I wouldn't say anyone puts in a great performance.Necromentia is an odd film that i can't say i enjoyed even though it only lasted for seventy five minutes, the random order the plot is presented did nothing for me & made Necromentia an annoying viewing experience & the constant Hellraiser rip-offs & visual style although effective for the budget aren't as good here as in Barker's film.

Woow.!!!The Funniest movie i have seen..Its so funny that @ the end you feel like throwing away the monitor.The horror stuff was real funny,a ghost or a monster with metal equipments who sometimes suddenly starts eating human flesh.I think it is a movie for high thinkers as it was no where near my head.The pig head man seemed to be a suicidal ghost. I had to fast forward in the middle,so i am not sure if i missed something real good..Sorry folks(for those who liked it).I found it funny rather than scary.Specially those inspired glimpse and scenes from Grudge,Ring etc.Anyway you can watch and laugh for a while before you break the TV Set.I am rating is 3 because it made me laugh for sometime..
