Well this movie starts off more or less from where we ended in the first one, Rob is dead and buried 6ft under and we see a shovel stab into the soft soil of his freshly laid grave, we now see that it is a rather attractive woman Monika who we later find out is also a nurse as well as a necrophiliac again a handy profession if you have a love for death. And boy does she seem to appear to be one hell of a grave-robber, she does it in broad daylight all in the time space of one afternoon, she even stops for a cigarette break, because hauling up the dead is bloody hard work, especially when you're trying to be quick not to get caught since it is DAYLIGHT! I'm not even sure how she managed to get his rotting corpse all the way back to her apartment? Perhaps she had a car, how are we to know!
So you thought you could just come running back now he's dead did you?! |
Rob's now ex-girlfriend from the previous film arrives to the decimated grave-site in the hope of claiming Rob's corpse for herself, I'm assuming she fucked the last poor sod into dust literally. Although you do feel kinda sorry for her in this scene, because she just sits for-longingly at the coffin side looking rather sad has we are treated to flash-backs of their antics from the first movie and then she just slinks off looking rather wounded not to be seen for the rest of the film.
However back at Monika's place she's getting straight down to business and there's no messing about with her that's for sure, she shakes his clothes off with such vigour that he's shown to be shaking all over the place on this table that she's set him up on and because that proved too much of a task she goes for the good old scissors to whip off his underwear! The anticipation proved to much!
And the award for the classiest way to take off a corpse's underwear goes too.... |
Be grateful he's a rotting corpse, you weren't getting lucky enough to have dead and hung like a donkey. |
My corpse penis virginity was broken in all its painful bloody glory and now so is yours, enjoy! Much like the love scene from the first movie we get the naked Monika riding on rotting Rob with all the grace of an Emmanuelle movie, again we experience the similar soundtrack that makes it so masterful and arty, what also makes this weird is how attractive and rather sexy the lead female is, which puts it on whole new levels of wrong here.
Never trust a woman whose décor consists of Death fucking a woman |
Poor Rob can't feel much good because she does jump off him towards the end of their session and is immediately throwing up into her toilet, but unlike how he treated his last corpse fuck, she lets his carcass rest in bed for a little while before she starts to take an interest in a living man, doing the opposite to his previous partner who took off with the corpse.
That's when you know you had too much too drink the night before |
Monika also tends to Rob by washing him and decorating around him with flowers......?
Now doesn't that just brighten the place up a lot more, it was beginning to look like a morgue in here! |
Now this living man is called Mark and he crosses paths with Monika whilst waiting for another woman at the movies who appears to have been running late, so instead of waiting for her, he grabs Monika and asks her to come into the movie with him, she accepts and they sit down to watch a really weird little piece of dialogue shoot in black and white between a couple whom are both naked sat at a little breakfast table outside which appears to be covered in boiled eggs in egg cups that they are both slowly making their way through, whilst the naked man rambles on at the naked woman about his love for birds. Sounds like a really lady charming movie huh?!
So begins a blossoming romance of fooling around taking pictures of each other, going to the fair and sharing a first kiss on the Ferris Wheel, looking at all the animals in the zoo, a whole montage of things that any normal couple starting out in their relationship should be doing, not something you'd be able to do with a dead-guy really unless you wanted to develop a highly complex puppetry system and shove a load of those cardboard pine fresh trees in his jacket.
So she comes to a dilemma which man does she really want? Rob or Mark? Dead or Alive? Which of these photos would make the best Facebook profile picture?
So she decides Mark, alive and number 2 (seriously because I think number 1 would be hilarious and get far more likes) and breaks up with Rob, in a literal sense to she breaks him up into pieces with her trusty saw and marigold gloves in the bathroom, however she doesn't get rid of it all but keeps his head and penis as tokens of their love and dumps the rest of him in plastic bags back at his grave-site.
There are those certain exes that you wish this was an acceptable way to have split up with them |
Mark begins to suspect that something is not completely right with Monika after they first have sex and she suppresses him from moving during it, we also get a very amusing scene where she looks down on him and he slowly turns into the corpse of Rob, which like when in a cartoon a really hungry cat might see a mouse transform into a walking steak, his fears may also be validated when he's making breakfast and discovered Rob's rotting phallus preserved in the fridge amongst the milk.
Monika is unaware of this discovery as she is still in her bed slowly drifting into an odd dream sequence....
A cross between an Enya and a Cannibal Corpse music video |
Apparently the melody that she's seductively cooing translates as this:
"You see the delicious skeleton
You realize your deaths desire The hour came to taste you What you did when delirious The world will never know such dark fruits When your corpse descends, to me it is Morbid and voluptuous.
Death alone can present to me Your gifts As for the love, The destroyed skin, the rotted breath Make happiness From my days Of my days Taken giddiness, I see your flesh as it putrifiés when the night comes, it is your kingdom And you deaden me, the key of the moon"
Things from then on start to go down hill with Mark as he begins to get more worried about her sexual tastes and perversions, especially when he realises that she'd had all the girls around to watch a baby seal being dissected for entertainment as you do, I always have all my gal pals around to watch a bit of animal butchering, nothing like a baby seal getting skinned who needs X-Factor!
They decide to get back together after falling out over the seal tape, and much like the first movie I'll say nothing about the ending, but I can't make up my mind whether it's better or not, certainly again nothing I've ever witnessed for a climax to a feature.

Or watch the film and if you loved it enough you can always get a tribute to it for life like this guy-You realize your deaths desire The hour came to taste you What you did when delirious The world will never know such dark fruits When your corpse descends, to me it is Morbid and voluptuous.

I'll have to check both of these out eventually. Subtlety obviously isn't something that attracts you to the movies you choose to review, but I'll again put in a plug for 1973's Love Me Deadly for anyone curious about a quieter, more realistic take on similar subject matter.
ReplyDeleteYou should, the sequel is a bit more of a laugh then the first one. I'll have a look for Love Me Deadly over the next week, maybe I can slot in a review about that too. Bit of contrast there then!
