As a nation, Germany has experienced many difficult times and has survived two world wars of the largest ever held in our planet. It 'is understandable that, having suffered so much in real life horror of horror is not developed there after World War II. In fact, it was not until 1980, filmmakers begin to begin to appear in the underground scene and the German film their mark on our favorite genre.
Today I want to present fiveinfluential German directors who made the horror genre German, it is today. Although you can not recognize that everything that I bet you know at least one name in this list.
We began our journey with a man named Andreas Schnaar, said the pioneer of the underground scene ultra-violent film in Germany. Dr. Schnaar was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1968 and fell in love with cinema at an early age. local theaters were at their most lax of youngTerrible movie, grew up on a diet of martial arts movies zombie movies Schaan large. Although his parents are not necessarily take their film preferences, recognized his artistic inclinations, and twelve years
He had his first fan of horror movies in which he shot a friend and favorite.
It was not until 1989 that Mr. Schnaar to work until the necessary means for his film (5000 DEM shooting around $ 2,000), but when he directed his first film madeFury. Violent shit, his feature called because it is exactly what friends Schnaar "not the accused. This is the story of Karl Butcher, and certainly the same film was very focused Gore. The fans loved it immediately became a cult hit midnight show some inspiration. The German Government has banned the other side as soon as the first earth blockbuster video output directly. It has three suites: the mother was spawned Hold My HandInfantry of Doom (also known as Zombie Doom in the U.S.) and Nikos. Also
Although the group has never sued for breach of copyright, the first film was also unauthorized use of the WASP song "The torture never stops."
That same year, writer, director Jörg Buttgereit Berlin, the world would be another controversial film. Nekromantik by famous director John Waters describes as "the first erotic film necrophiliac. Nekromantik Historyis a kind of tragic hero, the mission is to remove the bodies of the public sphere. This gives you the opportunity to follow their favorite fetish: the hunt for the dead. As you can imagine, because
Subject to the film itself was banned in many countries. But unlike film Nekromantik Schnaar intended as social commentary. The core of the story shows how the main character, mistreated and tortured by society as a whole, thus leading to his retirement infantasy world of patients who have built, are hidden inside. In his fantasies, he can exercise the ultimate control of the world and essentially a "puppet" of death, execution in the same way that society is, the teacher controls all of its existence.
Although Mr. Buttgereit film can be defined as a horror because it is clearly a strong element of the film, many viewers is more clearly an unconventional film, which itself is a kind of avant-garde cinema. The film containsmany scenes that will be hard to swallow for everyone, but the truth about life, often harsh. For the symbolism Stark, the first film certainly pushes all the limits Buttgereit.
Shortly before the 1990s, there was another force in the film industry in Germany: Olaf Ittenbach. dark past, Mr. Ittenbach first film shows not only his first film, but its introduction as an actor. He plays a teenager who Metalhead a heavy drinker and obsessed with death, tortured bynightmare visions. Sure, it's quite a downward spiral into madness. Ittenbach many consider to be "the first German film splatter punk" and compared his work with Resident Evil, Toxic Avengers, and other well-known films. Since then pushed further into the horror in the eyes of the German public, but not as much as our director last appears in this article.
you may've guessed, is: Uwe Boll. Mr. Boll is a director, that critics love to hate.And 'a man who apparently took his own dark German film taking place internationally. It is not only director but also a writer, and perhaps above all as a producer of their work. Unlike many Hollywood directors who receive external funding, Mr. Boll has tended to fund their activities. He studied at the University of Siegen
University of Cologne and a PhD in literature.
Therefore it may be a surprise to many who despised the world of cinema.Although there are many reasons as there are ghosts, they reason, critics often use to treat what they see as the emphasis on style over substance. Uwe Boll film is often directly inspired by video games like Alone in the Dark, Postal, BloodRayne and House of the Dead. Although not the most beautiful and realistic effects in films today can, Mr. Boll film certainly provide a solid and fun that makes him a sort of cult hero among fanshorror movies and video games in general.
In a true maverick style, Uwe Boll is rarely malfunction when criticized. This is a public insult to his critics, and also a challenge in a ring box and get the infamous! This compliments to increase their legendary ability to allocate funds for their films, unlike the search for funding opportunities for studies of stability. Most investors, as in his native Germany, enjoy a tax that helps fund their hideout in a position to filmslightly. Still
harsh criticism and things really said nearly half of his films, continues its production and improve. Thus, there may be a magnet for media companies, but Uwe Boll is proud of its fans and their passion is denied.
This film is about this point of view of four directors on the influential German scene of horror. I hope I opened my eyes, what the country has led us to propose Volkswagen and dogs inside when the room is dark. Itcan take a lot of work to find the pieces presented here, but certainly not surprised to select a few for your viewing pleasure Selection comment!
