Necrophobia

Those with a more than average knowledge of horror cinema, will undoubtedly recognize the fact that this genre is almost non-existent in the Netherlands. Only a few movies ever saw the light, let alone full-length movies. Perhaps one hour doesn't really count as full... but hey... give this small country a break.

Necrophobia is a small gem of a Dutch psychological horror movie about a man whose wife passed away after an accident, and his confrontation with a beautiful but macabre woman after her burial.

Both collaborating directors have made this movie into a visual treat in every shot, and the music sounds really dated but adds to the sinister atmosphere. All in all, this movie is worth watching for all lovers of the genre. It certainly leaves behind movies like "De Johnsons" and "Intensive care", and can easily rival "De lift" or "Amsterdamned", even though its budget was far less.

I have seen the title of this movie and the cover-art and i thought it looked interesting. The comments nail it correctly, this is clearly inspired by Chainsaw Massacre, and i am not a big fan of slashers in general.

Lets we what we got here, the acting seems okay, the camera work is the old-school 80s 90s vibe, the gore is kinda tame, but the plot is wonky to say the least. The plot is this woman is scared of death, so she becomes a serial killer like Leather face, that's kinda the whole plot.

This could of been good if it was better paced, if we had character depth, if i cared about any of these people. But honestly i did not, i just cared a bit about the female villain of this movie, because she had the most depth, every other character lacks depth, and a reason to care.

I have to say that most of this movie the first half is really dull and boring, and it slowly picks up after time, but then you kinda just lost interest as you go further into the movie, at least i did. This is for the people that enjoyed classic slasher movies like Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13, Halloween.
