As far as necrophelia-themed films go, you might prefer the less graphic Kissed or the more straightforward Aftermath, but all of these explore a link between sex and death and I think Nekromantik is more tender than the others. The simple art design and effective soundtrack help to make it so, and some of the special effects are subtly excellent without dragging the film down into gore-for-gore's sake.
The half-beheading and rabbit-skinning scenes (not done for the movie) are a little jarring, but I don't find them particularly out of place. I think Jorg Buttgereit explained the reference to the rabbit in the DVD commentary, but I can't remember what it was.

To each their own, I just didn't really like this movie but it wasn't because "sex with dead people is bad". I guess my biggest qualm was the fact that I didn't get to know the female character better, there doesn't always have to be a why but in this case a little insight into her obsession would have been nice. I was simply dissapointed for many reasons but just because I thought it was a mess doesn't mean that it isn't a masterpiece to somebody else. I'll be seeing the second one in a week or so, the first at least got me interested enough to see number 2.
