Necrofiles of Gorehound (2006)

Necrofiles of Gorehound (2006) - Austria

Directed by: David Mayrhofer

ABOUT THE FILM:

Blutbad Productions was an independent film group that first emerged out of the Austrian underground in 2005 with the shorts I Cut My Hand and A Guads Neix Joah. The group was dedicated to creating and promoting amateur splatter films from across the German underground scene. From 2005-2007, they released several different titles under their brand and then faded away into obscurity, leaving us a selection of titles, such as this one.

Necrofiles of Gorehound has a mind-numbingly simple plot. A man and his girlfriend wander off from their group of friends into the woods, where the man then kills his girlfriend and proceeds to engage in necrophilia. That's pretty much it.

REVIEW:

It's hard to do this film any justice with a review, because it's so incredibly short with a run-time of only 8 minutes (!), but the only way I can describe it is that it's just another generic in-the-woods slasher film.

The filmmakers don't even bother to tell a story or give us interesting characters, and frankly, that doesn't even matter because of the short running time. The acting is nothing to write home about, and neither are the special (?) effects, which merely consist of spraying fake blood all over the actors.

The handheld, shaky camera work gets annoying fast and the film is comprised of very basic edits.

Overall, while this film isn't terrible, it's nothing good either. The extras on the DVD are more interesting than the main course. But, I have access to other films that have been released by Blutbad Productions, so there are hopefully much better things to look forward to.
