DVD Reviews of Schramm
DVD Review: Sick, Twisted and Surreal film from the director of Nekromantik
Summary: 5 Stars
What would you do if someone came to your door and asked if you if you found Jesus? If you were Lothar Schramm you would invite them in and kill them after offering them a beverage. Yes folks this is the world of Schramm a 65 minute look into the bizzare world that only a shock meister like Jorg Buttergreit could come up with.
The film is basically the last 24 hours of the so called "Lipstick Killer" Lothar Schramm who while trying to clean the blood from the walls of his latest kill falls of a ladder and dies in the beginning. The film explores his relationship with a prostitute who has a new, rich, old, and perverse client that lives next door to him and has loud sex that can be heard through Lothar's air duct.
The film has realy not much of a plot structure, the main plot about Lothar and his relationship with the prostitute is interspersed with scence of a man and woman dancing to a haunting score in a smokey dimly lit area,and Lothar's own delusions including a Vagina like creature with teeth and the loss of his own leg and a scene of Lothar driving several nails into his foreskin on a table in full view of the camera.
In reality Mr Buttergreit is trying to show the mind of a killer not the actions unlike films like Henry Portait of a Serial Killer where the actions are shown. We are only shown one murder, the rest is the psychosocial interactions and delusions. This is a case study of the mind not a film record of the murders of a killer. In saying this the film is relatively short going over an hour by only five minutes but within that short time frame you see the realty of a damaged human mind.
Like other shock films like the Guinea Pig series out of Japan and Russia's Philosophy of a Knife this film tries to test the limits of the viewer, how much can you stand before you shut off the dvd player and put in Snow White to calm you down. Hollywood is now trying to catch up to its european and asian counterparts with films like Hostel and Saw but real shock cinema is from overseas as these films show. Hostel's violence is tame compared to this, I doubt the MPAA would allow a director here to show a man nailing his foreskin to a table in full view of the camera nor would I expect them to show a man having sex with then cleaning a blow up doll or ejaculating on magazines. This is shock in its pure form. Few directors in the states have done it but some have tried.
If you are daring try this film on for size as well as Nekromantik, all the Guinea Pig films, and Philosophy of a Knife. If you can sit through it without feeling some sort of disturbance then you have something wrong
DVD Review: very disapointing, very
Summary: 1 Stars
let me start by saying i am a huge fan of cult, horror, and gore...but, schramm let me down immensely. do not compare this movie to henry: portrait of a serial killer. as the movie starts, i waited (and waited) for it to get going. giving it a chance i kept watching. it never picks up. the gore that is "promised" is a let down. i felt more shocked watching "i spit on your grave" than i did watching this. save your money and your time.DVD Review: INCOMPETENT
Summary: 2 Stars
What may have started out as an interesting premise...ends up as an uninteresting mess of a serial killer flick.
If only the filmmaker had spent more time developing his storyline and his characters, instead of trying to shock...it may have resulted in a better film.
DVD Review: Fragments from a poisoned mind
Summary: 4 Stars
This film was an unexpected surprise! I expected another badly made exploitation flick, but was presented with a thought provoking study of a disintegrating mind. Horrific, human, convoluted and unforgettable.DVD Review: Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie sucks ....save your $$$.Unbelievable what some people think is good .This has nothing on Henry
