Manowski would go on to appear in Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire, while composer/co-star Lorenz would largely give up acting in favor of his musical activities, which included several more collaborations with Buttgereit. In fact, the film's main corpse was largely synthetic, although real pig eyes from a slaughterhouse filled its sockets - and, in some scenes, the characters' mouths. As Nekromantik's cult following grew slowly in Germany, then abroad, rumors abounded that the filmmakers had used actual dead bodies during the shoot. Although it received its German premiere in 1988, work on Nekromantik started in late 1986, when Buttgereit, the veteran of several shorts, began fashioning the corpse that would figure so heavily in the story the director knew that without a realistic-looking prop, the project wouldn't be worth filming in the first place. Ultimately, this slaughterhouse motif leads Rob to enact a painfully final solution to his deadly eroticism his journey would nevertheless continue in Buttgereit's Nekromantik 2 a few years later. Meanwhile, the haunting image of a rabbit being skinned plays like a cartoon in the young man's imagination, perhaps a childhood memory, perhaps an existential dream. An alienated Rob soon turns to horror movies, animal torture, prostitutes, and graveyard sex in his quest to find the unique combination of utter degradation and total acceptance he shared with his one true necrophile love. When Rob loses his job, material girl Betty hoofs it, and her divorce settlement includes the couple's favorite sex aid. One day Rob delights Betty by bringing home a decomposed corpse dredged from a swampy roadside lagoon with a sawed-off bedpost in place of its rotted genitalia, the body serves alternately as a vile wall decoration and the third member of a grotesque and quite graphic ménage à trois. Passive, blank-faced Rob (Daktari Lorenz) spends his days collecting human roadkill from the side of the Autobahn and his nights enacting a quietly macabre domesticity with girlfriend Betty (Beatrice Manowski, credited here as Beatrice M.) in their autopsy/industrial/Nazi-themed apartment. If you are looking for the ultimate stomach churner, you've found it.With Nekromantik, first-time feature director Jorg Buttgereit mixes cheap gore, transgressive imagery, and cosmic dread into a cult-classic examination of sex, death, and boredom among the youth of pre-reunification Germany. If you're looking for a good sex flick, look else where. If you are looking for good story telling, look else where. And with the script being so barren and the acting merely passable, the shock moments are all that will keep hardened viewers watching 'till the gruesome conclusion. The corpse and gore effects are very good, but the film stock and technique are both pretty sub-standard. For better or worse, the film is not very competently made. I will not spoil the best of them, just rest assured that gore-hounds will most certainly be pleased (if not disgusted).

All manners of assorted atrocities are committed for your viewing un-pleasure, most all of them rank in the 'so sick you can hardly watch' category.

Needless to say, this does nothing healthy for his already deranged mental state (being dumped for another guy is bad, being dumped for a dead one is even worse).
It soon becomes clear that the girl is enjoying the company of the corpse more than her still breathing boyfriend and runs off with it. He manages to sneak the body home, much to the delight of his lady-friend, and they go about having their dirty little way with it. As luck would have it, one day he comes across a rather well preserved corpse ('rather well' as in it's a rotted, blue hunk of tissue) while on duty. This works out well for them, as the boyfriend works for a crime scene clean-up crew. The story concerns a young couple with a predilection for all things dead. Well, film lovers, here we have my vote for nastiest film ever. "Salo" takes the most disturbing award "Dead Alive" (aka Brain Dead) wins the goriest film award "Caligula" runs away with the most over-sexed honor. I have a penchant for applying my own little award system to genre pictures.
