By and large artier than it is horrific, and though I sort of appreciate Buttgereit's independence of genre formulas, Der Todesking lacks the shock value of Nekromantik, is not uniformly interesting, and is plagued by frequent and annoying intercuts of a blatantly unrealistic decomposing corpse.

Simply for gorehounds... anyone looking for story, direction, acting or actual "horror" will be disappointed.

Buttgereit's humor is more subtle here than in his more famous Nekromantik, but the transgressive content is turned down as well, making it more obvious that both films are intended to be absurdist black comedies, albeit excessively morbid ones. https://letterboxd.com/pickle_man2135/film/the-death-king/

Normalmente esse filme é classificado meramente como horror, acho uma definição muito simplista para um cinensaio sobre o suícidio, é quase um decálogo sobre as formas de por fim à própria vida, são vinhetas curtas mas nem por isso menos profundas no que está sendo dito. Darkflix TV.

Started of quite promising and interesting as a black comedy about suicide that could have something interesting to say about the subject. After a moving sequence which shows a real suicide bridge it loses itself in its short runtime in artistic sequences, that didn't work for me. Again this can be put down a failed experiment to me, one that does show B was into making more serious films than just taboo shock horrors. Again the music is the best aspect of the movie.
