Oh to be a skeleton being tenderly caressed by your goth gf

This one goes out to all the frankenstein girls

The Corpse Bride is a lot more incel-y than I remember.

The candle editing is making me hysterical

You know, when I was in high school my city was doing a horror festival and showing this movie I believed to be a zombie movie, after all that was the overall theme of the festival; so, I decided to take a date to see this weird German film called Nekromantik, you know, no google or prior research, just vibes.

When I was a normal person, I remember specifically asking my friends at the time for movies to blindwatch, one of those fuckers recommended me Nekromantik. Now I'm here I guess.

I remember seeing this interview with Jörg where he said something like "Nekromantik is a beautiful movie about love, and it was banned. You might be asking why would they want to ban a movie about love? I don't know why" and yeah that's Jörg for ya

I couldn't stop looking at that candle omg

“I look at my arms and am like, wow, there are bones and shit in there...” Eloquently said 😂

Really digging this blue, handlelit bathroom aesthetic, May. Just perfect.

That hand candle being edited in after it burnt out is so good just a very good video

Came for the corpse f*cking. Stayed for the Ukelele cover of Dreams.

You gotta love the ingenuity of Nekromantik 2's protagonist, she's a real problem-solver.

alt title: the disrespect of remmington

every Edgy Creepypasta Man Movie ever is just... "hey, look at this! it's fucked up!" and the audience either is either repulsed, or goes "uh, yeah. you are correct. that's fucked up." I guess Jorg then thought that, because not everyone was adequately disgusted, he had to do it again. "look at this! again!"

so happy to see this notification, however i do have to inform you that you are NOT the first person to think way too much about nekromantic. i had a bizarre fixation with this movie for a month or so as a teen and tried to write multiple essays about it before having all my friends tell me "nah sorry but this is taking it a bit too far, i don't wanna read this" and giving up. so at least you're the probably the first to actually do something GOOD with thinking about nekromantic too much!

Actually loving the passive general concern over the candle

I watched Nekromantik because it was in the video "movies no one should ever watch under any circumstances", so obviously I HAD to watch it. I have not fully recovered from that experience. I did laugh a couple of times though, which might indicate that I had some *problems* even before the fateful viewing.

oh no may! you accidentally edited in the part where you told mr skeleton not to tell anyone you cuddled, but now it's in the video for everyone to see!

for once youtube managed to tell me you uploaded! the fucking candle is sending me

Candle Cam video, with a discussion about Nekromantik in the background

"Things get a little bit weird after the 3-way with the body." Yes, they certainly weren't weird at any point prior to that haha.

The candle: *crackle* May: 👁👄👁 The skeleton in the bathtub: 💀🛁

May's cover of Dreams (by Fleetwood Mac) made sitting through this nightmare worth it.

My wife had to watch Nekromantic 2 for a college class and still complains about it to this day. Seems like she was right.

Came here for May Stayed because i couldn't keep my eyes off that candle Actually stayed because these movies are ridiculous on another level and I need the cheap serotonin

I think I remember Cinema Snob reviewing this movie back when he was still entertaining.

offcourse its a german movie. Explains a lot.

Not my cup of tea but I love hearing you talk about messed up movies you're too funny. 😂

OMG! I saw that head swap scene from Nekromantik 2 randomly playing on a tv at a booth at a con in the mid 90s & I've thought about it ever since! It really made an impression. Lolz. Always wondered, but never knew what film it was from until now. Thanks for solving the mystery!

Reminds me of the story Bog Girl: A Romance by Karen Russell, in which a 15 year old boy finds a corpse preserved for thousands of years in a peat bog, and then proceeds to date said corpse It's actually legitimately great

I love how whoever edited this video seemed to have a problem with the candle being put out and continued to insert a square of the burning candle in the bottom left corner.

This is the best channel on KZfaq, honestly

sweet msi reference queen

Wait one diddly damn second!! Is that Goat Mans Bridge at the end?? I was just there a few days ago! Loved the video, thank you for all you put yourself through for us viewers May! ❤😁🤟

@Nyx Fears Its been awhile since I've seen Nekromantik 1 and 2 at the Fantasia Festival, but I hope my comment here can add some context to both films. Firstly I honestly feel Jörg Buttgereit is genuinely a good dude. He was at the screenings of Nekromantik, and after each screening he would show a short film that was about his father. It was basically a music video that was a love letter to his dad. I know what your thinking, but it was super wholesome and endearing. From my understanding he is more interested in big monster movies like Godzilla having written a book in German about them. Nekromantik 1 and 2 are not the only films about death he has made. Death King is a anthology exploring death and suicide, and Schramm is a film that explores the mind of a serial killer. Both films are much more serious about each subject than Nekromantik, which part 2 of the film series was already starting to do. It seemed to me that he made all these films to exorcise these dark thoughts from his psyche. Much like anyone that looks into these topics you read a newspaper article where you find a story about dark and troubling things. You ask yourself why, and you go down a rabbit hole trying to figure that out. In the case of Nekromantik series it was exploring necrophiliacs. I don't think the films do a great job, but I do believe they should be classified as art. In fact there is a journalist/festival programmer named Kier-La Janisse that wrote an essay about the films that got the movies classified as art, and un-banned in Vancouver. I would say that at surface level there doesn't seem to be much there (especially with all the intentional humor and shock), but dig a bit deeper and there is merit in the material. The thing that turns a lot of people off is the animal cruelty, which I find odd because most of the people I've talked to about it eat meat. If I remember correctly both scenes from each film were animals being prepared for food. I'm surprised it took you this long to cover this film, but if you have any questions maybe I can answer them. However I think doing a little research will answer most of your questions. Going in cold was a good idea though as your reaction was priceless. Jörg Buttgereit is a pretty interesting dude, and there are things I didn't even cover about him like his legal battle with the WB, or the rest of his work that I remember even less. One thing I do remember at this moment is that Jörg Buttgereit created the films as a push back towards the German film industry, and their reluctance to support alternative film genre.

Lmao the edit of the candle looks so good

The candle editing slowly kills me leaving me wide open to experience the nekromantic video essay

I AM DISGUSTED that they hired living actors to play the dead.

I love you miss May and your aesthetic!! 🧡🧚

This reminds me of Kissed (1996) where a guy was pursuing a necrophiliac woman and killed himself to get her affections.

This is why my normal 15minute breaks have become 30 minutes

I love your into! The images are sexy spooky and has the best 80’s/90’s horror movie music! LOVE IT!!

your channel has such a mood. I love it.

the overlay video of the candle oml 😂

"Have you ever tasted love like this? Cool and smooth have you ever been accepted unconditionally? Have you ever loved someone who didn't hurt you, didn't harm you? There's no pain and there's no pressure No humiliation There's no fear and there's no shame There's no pulse now is it so strange?"

is it just me or does the vibe of this movie remind me a lot of Possibly in Michigan?

Mays videos always make my day 🥺💕

I always preferred Nekromantik 2, personally - it's oddly romantic, even...

I do greatly appreciate the msi reference in the title

Aaa so excited to have seen this come up in my notifs, May has blessed my day :'))))

Fantastic new video May! Loved the spooky bone boi intro as well and you look amazing! This made my whole day. :)

Still the best intro song on all of KZfaq.

every so often I literally binge watch all of Mays videos over again. I have never seen any of these movies haha Ah the majesty of life is death.

Your videos are so well produced!!! its a crime you havent blown up yet !!!

Congrats on 100K 🥳❤️

why does this have to be in a language I can understand

I appreciate your commitment to the bit of editing in the Hand of Glory candle after it burned out.

Your voice is so nice! ♡

I’ve seen this film only once but find it pretty fascinating. You articulated what’s so interesting and flawed about it really well! Thanks for talkin bout it

is that a fuckin' msi reference?

Wow, the end credits! That was really captivating and beautiful!! :D

this video is sooooo cursed... I LOVED IT ^-^ subscribed :3

Dang this did not end up in my notifs at all. Ty for posting about it! I’d have missed it otherwise!

I usually skip through long intros, but this one is a JAM

For some reason I was thinking of this movie the other day. And now here I am

6:33 me watching my food in the microwave

8:29 Aight so does anyone know of the vine/tiktok of a onceler cosplayer rushing up to the camera, saying "vibe check", and just decked the phone off whatever it was being held on? Because holy shit I remembered that and now I can't stop laughing at the thought of this dude yelling vibe check before slicing the old man's upper head off. On a side note, ngl...I sorta need that awesome candle beside you now

This was great!You sing beautifuly May🌹

i love your font for these movies

Your intro is so funky and perfect

okay, 8 minutes into your review but i have to pause it because I have to go watch this fucking movie. Ya sold me on it, Nyx.

LOVE YOUR VIDS

ok I admit, I wouldn't normally stick around for patreon credits but I was swayed by your singing enough to listen through

I had somehow in my brain that you already reviewed this one?! Idk why? (I know why. You are brave enough to face those messes). Glad to see youtube finally tells me when you upload!

I saw a good recap video for this movie, but Nyx explaining it has made knowing about it AWESOME! It's a hard watch, to be sure, but it's a very interesting story. People are... Something.

If this title is a mindless self indulgence reference, then that is incredible blursed

This is really silly, but I listened to this in the car and when you broke into that Fleetwood Mac song at the end, I sung along and I daresay we harmonized pretty well. Thank you for the nice song number!

The song at the end is excellent

Oh my God May your hair is IMMACULATE!!

Bless you for watching movies like this so I don't have to 💖

i love you so much thx for all the videos lots of love from Costa Rica uwu

Yes! You’re finally talking about it. I’ve heard so much about necromantic and now it’s here!

Saw this at my local video rental and decided to add it to my selection of films for the week- the disc had "watch this someone you love" written on it. It sure was... something.

Need someone in my life who looks at me like how May occasionally glances at that hand candle with growing concern

This movie was seriously disturbing.

i think this is my favorite youtube channel??

"shockingly genuine", "over-indulgent displays", "this is pathetic or either hilarious" is german film and television in a nutshell and it makes me patriotic

Great video!

Best cohost ever.

Thank you for your service and thank you for repeatedly showing that picture of Jorg.

I had a sleepover party when I was in my 20’s. We all gathered in my bed to watch Nekromantik and some zombie porn (Re-Penetrator, I believe) on my shitty Dell PC. It was hilarious and memorable.

GIRL YOU HAVE A LUTE??? i am rewatching your old videos and that shook me

Thanks May,I think I might be on a list now

THE MSI REF TEHEHHEHE⁉️💖

Not able to sleep so the only thing I can do is watch Nyx!!❤️

I will never watch this movie, but I love hearing you talk about it. Also you should see Kissed(1996). It’s actually really good and not enough people talk about it.

Ayyyyyy new nyx fears

hell yes this is the content I pay for

Also, is Necromantik 3 going to be about May, Azzy, and Remington?
