      Stewart G Love this movie, no idea why it scores so low. Very dark, twisted and with an awesome sound track. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review leightön m Visually, I'm all over this film. I loved the darkness of the characters and the imagery. The Story lines wasnt great, but as I stated, it was visually thrilling for me. I especially liked Mister Skinny, who's a diaper-wearing fat caucasian butcher in a pig mask. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I has never heard of it when I stumbled across it and I loved it, not for the light-hearted though Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Horror in its most darkest splendor... some images will hunt your dreams for years after watching it! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Have to admit, none of the blurbs I've read about this movie feel at all accurate. Despite a smattering of gore, some creepy steampunk-inspired characters, and an avalanche of "dark themes", Necromentia is pretty tame. That I still ended up liking Necromentia is a testament to the strength of the idea. Three characters enter hell at different times. But unlike most horror movies where entering hell would be the beginning, here it is the end point. Necromentia is about the characters and their journey to that point, and in the process, it treks back in time to show the tasty little cycle that brought us to the end point. The visual aesthetic is surprisingly interesting for being obviously low budget. Not every scene, mind you, but most of them do more with the aesthetics than you'd expect from the obviously low budget sheen. The director seems to know which scenes were the money scenes, and made them look especially nice. The movie is held back by bland dialogue, which gets awkwardly punctuated by terrible delivery by the actors involved. (Necromentia is not a movie for people who can't look past terrible acting.) They also try to cram way too many concepts into the movie, making it feel more scattered than it should. It was like the scriptwriter had an overflow of concepts, decided to write each of them into the screenplay, with minimal attention devoted to each. The movie would have been better served if just a few had been cherry-picked and fleshed out better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member There were a lot of elements I really enjoyed in this movie. This movie made me literally cringe...which is hard to do. At a few points, I actually felt kind of nauseous...normally gore makes me hungry...it was just that disturbing and dark. The story itself was pretty good up until the end, then it got confusing and I felt like they tried to add too much into a short amount of time, probably would have made a good couple movies instead of one. But if you're looking for a really dark and disturbing as fuck movie. This is it. Gotta love Skinny the Suicide Pig [xD] He was my favorite.
