Not having seen the previous work of mark rohnstock and his Infernal Films, i thought this would be a good warmup before accessing "Necronos". the tin says all i want for a gorefest nobrainer: "the ultimate experience in violence & gore", "high bodycount", "splatterfest deluxe" and what other obscure german reviewers said about this flick.
to think of the efforts i went to view the allegedly unrated bluray version that was an alleged accidental print makes me frown. let me just state that i got none of the aforementioned attributes. it is just like any other mediocre german splatter movie, with a little higher budget maybe. but why would anyone want to see the hilarious and admittedly entertaining attempts of filmmaking in ultra HD? the inept crudity was part of the genre's charme back then, which didn't age well as it seems.
maybe i am being unfair. everytime i watch something made in goremany i instantly compare it, unwillingly, to the master who lead - or rather, viciously kicked - me into the realms of no-low-budget splatter&gore, master ittenbach. his glory is long gone, sadly, but still he is my personal measure of every genre entry i come across.
Edit: i have not the slightest clue what my predecessor Indyrod watched but it surely wasn't CODW. reference to norwegian black metal?! nah no way mate
