A man with the unique profession of cleaning up after bloody crime scenes decides to spice up his relationship by taking home a corpse. Unfortunately, his wife prefers it to him.

I remember reading about this bad boy of a film in past issues of Film Threat and thinking that I’d never get to see it here in the UK. But, now it’s on YouTube. Welcome to 2026!

Before I watched I thought it would either be another narcissistic and immature exercise in transgression (’Everyone look at me! I’m edgy af!’) or something much better.

Fortunately, it’s the latter. I love the pop-art colour palette, which reminded me of the great Blood Feast and Dawn of the Dead. The restoration of Jörg Buttgereit’s film that I saw looks amazing.

There’s also a gallows humour at play which was appreciated.

Yes, there’s the grit of a rabbit having its throat slit (I deplore ANY animal cruelty in any film) and the main storyline means it will never be viewed as mainstream fare. But, just like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Evil Dead, there’s more here than the gruesome content the Mary Whitehouse brigade would have you believe.

This isn’t some lost masterpiece, but it’s definitely worth investigating.

Just don’t watch this whilst you’re eating.

3 out of 5 stars
