The Lustful Dead

About This Movie

Necrophiliac: The Lustful Dead is a curious piece in the horror documentary genre. It feels raw, almost uncomfortable, as it places you in the mind of Haydn Reef, a self-proclaimed necrophiliac. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and you can definitely sense the filmmaker's intent to explore the taboo. Pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to absorb the gravity of the subject matter, which might not sit well with everyone. What's striking here is the unfiltered nature of the interview, revealing a spectrum of emotions, from revulsion to fascination. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the stark realism. Not your typical horror fare, this one leans heavily on psychological tension rather than gore, making it a distinct, if unsettling, experience.
