Collection of four German horrors directed by Jorg Buttgereit. In 'Nekromantic' (1987) Rob Schmadtke (Daktari Lorenz) works for a company responsible for cleaning up the streets after traffic accidents. One day, Rob excitedly returns home with a rotting corpse for him and his girlfriend Betty (Beatrice Manowski) to enjoy. However, when Rob loses his job the next day and returns home looking for support, Betty has left and has taken their new plaything with her...'Der Todesking' (1990) is comprised of seven episodes and starts with a body floating in blackness that slowly stretches from a foetal position and begins to decompose. It moves through more disturbing sequences and ideas including a girl scribbling the same word over and over, the reels of the film breaking down and a Nazi death camp sequence. 'Nekromantik 2' (1991) follows female nurse Monika (Monika M.) as she exhumes Rob's corpse after learning about his story through newspaper headlines. However, to her disappointment, Rob's corpse doesn't allow her the satisfaction she desires and she proceeds to destroy most of the body before embarking on a relationship with the fully-sentient Mark (Mark Reeder). But when Mark finds out about Monika's unconventional fetish it leads to an unexpected climax... Finally, in 'Schramm' (1993) Lothar Schramm (Florian Koerner von Gustorf) is a lonely man, murdering any strangers who knock on his door. Desperate for female attention, he kidnaps and drugs his prostitute neighbour Marianne (Monika M.), strips her naked and takes photographs of her body. Just how far can Lothar Schramm go with his deranged behaviour before someone takes notice?
