Jörg Buttgereit’s vomit-provoking necrophilic romances Nekromantik and Nekromantik 2 may be going out-of-print, but they're going out with a bang courtesy of Cult Epics.
The cult film distribution label is offering up their definitive, director-approved HD editions of these vile German masterpieces, which I reviewed as a part of Cult Epic's Sex Murder Art box set, in a goregeous double-sided slipcase featuring artwork by Martin Trafford. These will certainly sell out at an ultra-limited 500 copies produced. Once they're gone, they're gone for good.
In Nekromantik, a street sweeper who cleans up after grisly accidents brings home a full corpse for him and his wife to enjoy sexually, but is dismayed to see that his wife prefers the corpse over him.
The Nekromantik bundle will be released on September 10th. If you haven't had the chance to pick up these phenomenal releases or just want to grow your Buttgereit collection, don't miss out and pre-order yours today!
