Nekromantik creator Jörg Buttgereit’s serial-killer shocker Schramm just hit Blu-ray for the first time, and if you haven’t picked it up yet, we’ve got a look at the disc’s macabre menu screens (with Nsfw imagery) to lure you in. Cult Epics has released Schramm in a Blu-ray/DVD package with a bunch of special features, and […]...

Cult Epics bringing gory German art film to Blu-ray. Though German provocateur Jörg Buttgereit is primarily known for his transgressive classics Nekromantik and its even more deranged sequel, his 1993 psychodrama Schramm is almost as gory and equally as upsetting. This writer remembers seeing it at the 1993 Toronto International Film Festival at midnight. I…

(An Anthology with a capital A for Abuse, Antisocials and Addiction...) This year, the International Film Festival Rotterdam has dedicated a section of its programme to surrealism, and questioning reality in cinema. The horror anthology German Angst is part of this section, and it's a valid choice, as each of the three stories in the film deals with possible alternate explanations of a shown reality. Each of the segments is also very bloody, for most viewers uncomfortably so even. The first segment is called Final Girl and is directed by Jörg Buttgereit, who is (in)famous for Nekromantik and Schramm - Into the Mind of a Serial Killer. Using long takes and extreme close-ups, we follow a girl as she wakes up and takes care of...

Tiff’s Midnight Madness program turned 25 this year, and for two and half decades, the hardworking programers have gathered some of the strangest, most terrifying, wild, intriguing and downright entertaining films from around the world. From dark comedies to Japanese gore-fests and indie horror gems, the Midnight Madness program hasn’t lost its edge as one the leading showcases of genre cinema. In its 25-year history, Midnight Madness has introduced adventurous late-night moviegoers to such cult faves as Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused and Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. But what separates Midnight Madness from, say, Montreal’s three and half week long genre festival Fantasia, is that Tiff selects only ten films to make the cut. In other words, these programmers don’t mess around. Last week I decided that I would post reviews of my personal favourite films that screened in past years. And just like the Tiff programmers,...

Jörg Buttgereit’s notoriously moist horror/gore film Nekromantik (1987) has been churning stomachs for two and a half decades. In honor of this German film’s 25th anniversary, a new DVD release is planned for May 2013 by Titan Video. While this news may excite many a die-hard gore-hound, the film is a tough sell to many other horror fans. Nekromantik - still banned in numerous countries around the globe - has a tendency to upset and nauseate its viewers… whether they adore or deplore the movie.
The film is about a young couple, Rob and Betty, who gain sexual satisfaction from the use of human remains. Rob has a job removing dead bodies and body parts from public areas. Thanks to this grisly career, Rob and Betty have a constant supply of human pieces. One day Rob comes home with an entire corpse, and it becomes the couple’s obsession.

Yesterday, I sat down (via skype) for an exclusive Horrorbid interview with Jorg Buttgereit, director of Nekromantik 1 & 2, Schramm: Into the Mind of a Serial Killer, and many more. While his early films explored the boundaries of German cinema, Buttgereit himself is a reserved, kind man with a great sense of humor about his work and the genre in general. With this year marking the 25th anniversary of his cult-classic romantic horror-comedy, I fo…...

The 9th annual Lausanne Underground Film Festival may just run for a mere five days in Switzerland on Oct. 20-24, but it hits with the force of a 10p-ton megaton bomb over that time period, packing in so much mind-boggling underground madness it’ll make your head explode.
Every year, the fest feels like 5 or 6 festivals crammed into one. There’s the fest that pays homage to the history of experimental filmmaking, there are the retrospectives of several cult festivals, a feature film competition section, a short film competition section and more.
Three filmmakers are especially getting major retrospective love this year. First, there’s legendary Canadian experimental filmmaker Michael Snow who will be in attendance at screenings of his classic films Wavelength, <–> and La région centrale, plus several of his other short films.
Also being feted are German extreme horror filmmaker Jörg Buttgereit, who will attend screenings of his classic Nekromantik,...

This year, their guest of honor is German extreme filmmaker Jörg Buttgereit who will be present at screenings of his classic necrophiliac film Nekromantik, Schramm, a program of his short films, plus his latest shocking effort, Captain Berlin vs. Hitler.
