Movie Reviews of Aftermath/Genesis
Movie Review: vomit.
Summary: 2 Stars
I often hear people praise Aftermath for it's innovation and originality. I just can't see it. Yes the makeup is pretty good for it's budget and for that I'll give the devil his due but the movie is just plan tasteless and sickening. you are probably thinking. "Well it's tasteless and sickening. perfect qualities for a horror film!" yes and no. I agree that a horror movie should make your skin crawl and make you feel uncomfortable, but aftermath is a film depicting perverse violence against women. Not really something that I get my jollies watching. The whole film is about a mortician who uses his subjects as sex toys and violates them with surgical tools. When he's gone he cuts them up and feed them to his dog. End cut release. End of film. no dialog just a bare bones plot and very discussing imagery. I love horror flicks but this just went too far and it did it in a very non graceful manner. More of a snuff film than a horror flick. If you like seeing women violated and humiliated that this is your movie. otherwise give it a pass.Movie Review: buy something else
Summary: 1 Stars
Nacho Cerda was clearly aiming to position Aftermath as one of those pieces of "extreme cinema" that walks the line between mondo/snuff and art, in hopes that it would develop a "must-have" reputation among shock-cinema daredevils. My advise? Save your money.
Aftermath's plot (if you can call it that) examines what might occur if a sexually obsessed coroner turned on by the visceral aspects of his job, got a hold of a cadaver he just couldn't resist. This is of course just a flimsy concept concocted to provide a framework for a series of visceral images. However, for all it's realistic gore, Aftermath ultimatley is a ripoff in that the sex is simulated. I'm sorry, but if the conceit here is to assault the viewer with images that go where no film has dared to go before, then you better go all the way. They either couldn't find an "actor" to pull this off, or more likely they were afraid of alienating the 18-35 year-old male demographic this film is aimed at by showing male genitalia engaged in hardcore sex with a corpse.
My guess is that most who buy this dud will trot it out to offend their buddies after a few beers, and then it will go back on the shelf or in the bottom of the sock drawer until they admit it was a waste of money.
If you need this kind of stuff, buy Necromantic, at least it's amusing.
Movie Review: Boring...even for fans of exploitation and horror
Summary: 1 Stars
I understand that a film about Necrophilia has never been as graphic before as much as Aftermath is but that doesnt mean it is an amazing interesting film. Call me a sicko, but I wasnt even grossed out by this film b/c the dummy of the girl being violated was so fake looking, and I dont even like films about Necro. Sure the lighting and colors of the film are excellent, but what does that prove about the overall quality of what you are watching? No talking, short running time, and overall cliched boring scenario. Most horror fans want to be shocked, but also provided with dialogue, action, suspense original plot, atmosphere...Aftermath has none of these. I'll admit that it didnt come accross as goofy as Nekromantik did b/c of the overall tone and silence of the film. But yeah, I am not giving this a one-star review b/c I am offended, but rather cause I was bored. I'm not going to even get started on the other short films on this dvd....I hope I helped your decision on whether or not to get this a little easier, cause there is a TON of better horror flicks out there. Hopefully his full length feature debut called Bloodline will be good cause the plot sounds very interesting. I have high hopes. Nuff said.
