Well it’s that time of year again. Make sure to put on
your paper hat, crack open the eggnog and force a smile while trying to display
emotions other than hate and lust so that your family think you’re a normal
human being. It is of course Christmas, the perfect time to settle down with
your loved ones around a cosy fire and enjoy a good film, preferable a light
family orientated affair. Bollocks to that I say. The endless stream of sugar
coated garbage (modern cinema) that gets stuffed down our throats at a rate
that will probably give us diabetes is the reason I am writing this shit, as a
rejection to normality. So allow me to introduce you to an alternative Christmas
film that will have you and your family fucking dead people within minutes.
Country of origin- Spain
Year of release- 1994
Director- Nacho Cerdà
Stars- Pep Tosar, Jordi Tarrida, Ángel Tarris
Aftermath
is
a 30 minute long short film that features no dialogue and an awful lot of dead
people being molested. The films short plot follows a pathologist who seems to
have an unhealthy obsession with his job. This ultimately culminates in a horrifically
long and savage scene in which the pathologist strips, mutilates and has sex
with the body of a female car crash victim. This prolonged scene gives the viewer
a palpable sense of emersion into the sick and demented world of clinical necrophilia
that this deranged pathologist lives in. The pathologist seems to take out what
can only be described as fury upon the cadaver, going so far as to enact the
Cannibal Corpse song, Fucked With A Knife
before climbing on.
The whole film has a cold clinical feel to it that is
greatly helped by the grim and authentic setting, along with the near constant
silence expect for the occasional insertion of a classical score or the pathologists
heavy breathing, and of course the stunning practical effects. The effects in
this film really are amazing, the attention to detail and the incredibly realistic
look make the cadavers look like something from a shockumentary rather than a
well done effect. Overall it’s hard to find a better film to watch at Christmas.
Aftermath has it all, romance,
classical music and best of all necrophilia.
So there you have it folks another shitty Christmas special
and another year of sick perversity on this rancid littler corner of the
internet, all I can say is, I hope you hated it, and I love you all. See you in
2016 and don’t fuck too many corpses over Christmas.
I couldn't agree more about Xmas movies, I try and reject them whenever I can and however I can. You wouldn't believe how forced most of my Xmas joy is, I just stand there with a smile like the Joker and a stiff brandy.
