20 Most Extreme Horror Films Of All Time

Don’t let the title fool you - there’s absolutely nothing “romantic” about this German freak show. Well, unless you consider a married couple’s decision to spice up their sex life by swinging with a rotting corpse to be the stuff of Danielle Steele novels.

Nekromantik tells the story of a middle aged depressed man named Robert Schmadtke who works at a Street Cleaning Agency, a company that cleans up the mess after traffic collisions and removes dead bodies from public areas. In a sick twist, Robert has a hobby of collecting body parts and conserving them in booze. One day he gets his hands on a particularly appealing dead body and instead of having the corpse buried, he takes it home to his girlfriend. This is where the fun begins. This includes a scene where the girlfriend wraps a condom around a steel pipe and straddles it during their naughty time with the stiff.

As the bloody cherry on top of this horrific sundae, director Jörg Buttgereit ends Rob’s misery by having him masturbate and stab himself as he climaxes; if you can think of an appropriate time to subject your eyes to that, pat yourself on the back.
