| This is the best of Nacho Cerda's Aftermath Trilogy. Aftermath is a short about the depravity of humans. A man is working at a mortuary, one night a body arrives of a young woman who was in a car accident. After an encounter with what I assume are the parents of the girl, the man proceeds to violate the body, set up his camera, drop his pants, and from there the comedy ensues. The movie is fucking amazing, there is no other way to put it. I enjoyed it more the second time I watched it. The fact that he meets the parents before he rapes the body shows how fucked up his mind is. I'm sure most people know that this happens in a majority of Mortuaries, so this stuff isn't fiction. The effects in the film are amazing, the dead bodies are the most realistic I've seen in a movie. The movies don't have many cut aways, they make you watch this guy masturbate and then rape the body. The movie is just great, well done, it looks like Nacho Cerda has learned quite a bit since he did his last film. The movie clocks in at about thirty minutes, great length. The whole movie isn't just him raping the body, the first fifteen minutes are showing the regular routine of taking the bodies apart and putting them back together. The movie ends with the man bringing the woman's heart home, grinding it up and feeding it to his dog, and right next to the bowl the dog is eating out of, is the obituaries and guess who's name we see in there, the woman's. I'm guessing the human heart ground up and fed to the animal that doesn't know better is showing how cold the man is, how even after encountering her parents who are mourning over her loss, still proceeds with the rape. The movie made me think about how horrible and depraved most human beings are, 8/10. |

| This is the movie that put Nacho Cerda's name on the map. The movie, if you did not know, is about a doctor performing an auptopsy, and ***START SPOILERS*** ends up with the doctor, sleeping with the corpse. ***END SPOILERS*** The film is supposed to show how vunerable the body is after life, which it does a great job at, with such effects as the doctors, just messily placing the organs back into the corpse, and slamming the ribcage down, and trying to smash all the organs back into the chest. This really in my opinion did a good job. And also showing how rough the doctors are with the corpse, really makes you not want an autopsy. Now my personal problem was the necro part of the movie--not that it was too far, just personally I do not wish to see this, it was majorly effective. The camera work in the film is amazing, the one part I remember being majorly impressed by is the use of reflections, in eyes, and the lens of a camera used as a prop in the movie. This was a major upgrade from the director's first film. All and all, I have to say I really enjoyed the flick. |
