Synopsis

Jörg BUTTGEREIT plays a TV horror show presenter, introducing the audience to a variety of “classics”. These are of course all short BUTTGEREIT films and he shows here his versatility as a filmmaker. The short pieces range from a spoof on the Mummy to a Frankenstein parody, to an amazingly well-crafted animated Godzilla monster pic to a down and dirty girl-fights-off-violent-rapist segment. Hilarious horror comedy! (Johannes SCHÖNHERR)
