We are proud to announce that, during its seventh edition, the Bogotá Horror Film Festival awarded Thanatomorphosea Special Mention in the Transgressive Film category.
Granted by the international jury chaired by Michael Berryman, this distinction highlights the film’s radical vision, visual power, and artistic boldness, which explore the boundaries of the body and horror through a unique and striking creative approach.
This recognition further establishes Thanatomorphose as a reference point in contemporary transgressive cinema, celebrating the strength of the genre as an extreme, symbolic, and deeply human form of artistic expression.
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?
