Plot: A troubled young man, who is devastated by the breakup he has had with his girlfriend, finds a female corpse in a nearby forest, which he instantly takes home with him and molests sexually. This is, however, only the beginning of his suffering, for he dives deeper and deeper into a seer of self-destruction, psychotic soliloquies laden with guilt and hatred and visions of unspeakable atrocities. Depressed and on the verge of losing his mind, he form a plan to rid him of his heartache and get even with his girlfriend once and for all.
"Necrophile Passion" by director Tom Heidenberg is surely one of the most eagerly awaited productions in the German speaking world of amateur splatter. This highly ambitious project, revolving around the Austrian splatter label "Black Lava Entertainment", can not only look back on a troubled process of production, but also on a history of polarization. Directly after the release of the first teaser trailer, many fans of underground nastiness rejoiced and expressed their sympathy for this film, whereas others were so offended that they weren't afraid to openly display their contempt and their willingness to distance themselves from it at all costs. However, it must have always been clear to director Tom Heidenberg and producer Thomas Binder that their film will never be easily accepted by a broad audience, since it deals with one of the last taboos in contemporary extreme cinema: necrophilia. Of course, this taboo has oftentimes been broken, but in this case it is not a matter of being the first to violate, but a matter of quality. But all in good time.
