I know this is not gonna please a lot of the fans of Marian Dora because this movie is the exact opposite of what I believe most of his fans come to see his films. Sure his trademarks are here like real human feces and violence. But man is it toned the hell down for more of an art house romance story of a necrophiliac. And in a way it's quite beautiful. In the most disgusting way possible ofcourse. But in saying that watching this even as boring as it kinda is it's not a chore. Yet it's also not an entertaining movie. It's well done enough and visually pleasing enough to watch. This is by far Marian Dora's most easily accessible film to date. I could see a lot of art house film fans enjoying this as it is more attuned to their sensibilities than the horror community. As it is I thought it was good for a spin but once was more than enough for me.
