Welcome to Kelly’s Taboo Terrors, a monthly podcast that explores the transgressive side of cinema. These movies, and discussions, are not for the faint of heart so listeners discretion is strongly advised.
As far as necrophilia films go, none are more recognizable than German filmmaker, Jorg Buttgereit's, Nekromantik. Epitomizing underground transgressive cinema, Nekromantik shows us the sensual side of the paraphilia, giving us a film with a legacy of sexual depravity and iconic imagery. A cerebral exploitation film that forces us to witness sex, death and body fluids, and how they cum together so perfectly. Can we fuck the fear of death away?
My guest for this episode is Éric Falardeau! Éric has written and directed short films, music videos, the cult horror feature Thanatomorphose (2012), which has won him several awards in film festivals. He also wrote the porn-horror movie The Thing from the Lake (2019). Éric has guest-curated exhibitions at the Cinémathèque québécoise and published volumes on erotic cinema, the history of special effects in Quebec, and on body fluids in gore and pornography. He is currently working on his second feature film!!!
