The first "Nekromantik" is one of my favorite underground horror films. Although "Nekromantik 2" is shot beautifully and has some really good gore scenes, it just doesn't have the punch that the first one did. There are many scenes that are long and drawn-out and detract from the pace of the film. Some scenes seem like they don't belong in the film at all. There are some genuinely funny scenes that are good for a laugh, and definitely some strong gore that rivals the first "Nekromantik", but I found myself checking my watch too often. Buttgereit and crew could have easily shaved a half hour off this film and made it a more sleek and streamlined film, but being that Buttgereit seemed to have a bigger budget this time, it appears he wanted to spend it on filming as much footage as possible, not always to the benefit of the viewer. Still a decent experience and definitely worth checking out for the extreme horror enthusiasts, and the ending is suitably matched to the first film. Give this one a look 7/10

I juste saw Nekromantik 2. One of the movie I had to see ten years ago to extend ma vision of shocking cinema. Since then, and after a break of gory movies, I've come back to violence in cinema. Well, Nekromantik 2 is a singular piece of art. The authors are as gentle and creative as the movie is dark and destructive. See it on DVD! I have to say that the way the movie is filmed (nice moving of camera with its charming shaking), is acted (with a kind of "playing for playing"), opened my mind to Evil Dead, another kind of movie made by passionate young and a little crazy people who got the ability to do everything they want. I'm talking about the special effects which are really good and improvised by the director. About my own feelings and thoughts: 7/10.

After being quite dissapointed in watching NEKROMANTIK 1, I gave Budgereit one more try by watching the second part of his stupid necro-drama. It´s even worse! It was so boring, that even a fly that comes across my sight would have been more interesting. The Plot could have been told in 15 Minutes. The Actors are as stupid as the whole movie itself. The music was getting so intensely on my nerves, that I nearly decided to watch the movie without sound. (Additonally I wouldn´t have missed much, because the dialogs are absolutely needless and explain nothing). The only "highlight" is the scene in the end, when Monika cuts off Marks head while having sex and replaces it with Roberts head. But this single scene doesn´t compensate more than 100 minutes of gaping boredem mixed with cheap thrills. That´s what NEKROMANTIK 2 is all about.If you´re looking for gore you´d better check out some of Peter Jacksons early movies...

Buttgereit tries something different -- pretentious artiness -- with this sequel to his infamous necro classic. It doesn't work.The woman from the first film returns and putters around with her dead flame's corpse. Shots are repeated from the first film and the music score is rehashed.The film's artwork has merit and more money was spent on this effort, but the single-minded focus of the first film -- one of its virtues -- is gone.For completists only. Try SCHRAMM instead.
