Kevin's Watch

A 1996 Canadian film about.....Necrophilia.

It's deliberately shocking, but it's a rather solid (though poorly produced and technically inaccurate) treatise about a funeral home worker who becomes enamored with dead men.

Available on Netflix for a $3 rental, and probably worthwhile.





























If you can stomach necrophilia.

Saw it many years ago and while not terrible, it just didn't leave much of a mark on me (I had to wiki it to refresh my memory of how it went). As noted, probably worth 3 bucks for it's interest value - but not much more.

I had missed the movie. always did wonder about the percentage of funeral workers who had a necrophilia fetish.

My father-in-law was the head porter in a big hospital; he told me that the morgue assistants always went 'weird' after a period of time in the job [even if they weren't a bit that way to begin with]. He thought it was the effect of sitting for hours on end every day [and night] with only the company of dead people.

I'm going to guess "not many". Death ain't sexy, and young, beautiful people generally don't just peacefully drop dead. So you can either bone granny, or some jacked-up 20-something that was in a car wreck.

Agreed - in the same way that waste food ain't appetising; in a pile it rapidly turns in the minds eye back into what it really always was, decaying flesh and organic matter

I suppose there would be a small window for that sort of thing. but at some point there was enough of it going on that a name was created for it.
