There must be something in the beer. I've reviewed 3 movies this week alone, that deal with Necrophilia in some way. Not that I'm some freak who gets off on cold unmoving women, but if I wanted that, I would call my ex. I guess now that there are tons of "shocking" movies out there, why not take a whirl at something that is still a big taboo. Necrophilia. I can think of at least 7 people in the business that expressed interest in making a film about Necrophilia, but decided not to at the last minute due to the "graphic nature". To those people I say "eat it". It's just a movie, don't be a total wimp about it.
Dead Girl is a story about 2 high school kids who venture into an old abandoned mental institute, and find an undead girl in the basement. Deciding on impulse, one of the kids encourages that leaving her tied to a mattress for sexual pleasure is a good thing. Of course going back to the bore of HS seems moot compared to doing anything you want to woman without her dying. With that comes some nasty side effects, but I won't give anything away by telling them;)
I really enjoyed this movie for many reasons. One of them was the fact that this wasn't some cash in for the Torture Porn scene going around. I also liked the feel of the movie. It was a little slower paced in spots, but it wasn't enough and too often to really affect my judgment on the movie. It's nice to see films like this that take a second to think about the script despite outside opinions, and stick to the plan.
If you can stomach the idea of kids selling an undead woman to fellow high school classmates for sex, then you gotta see this movie. It doesn't have the same in your face grab as Aftermath or the disgusting heartbreak as Necromantik, but Dead Girl holds it's own weight. Another mention is that if you want to see this movie in it's original state, get the unrated copy. The edited version is cheap and leaves you feeling cheated.
