Schramm

Have you ever wanted to witness the final moments of a serial killers life while tripping on acid? Ever want to see a man nail his uncircumcised penis to a table? Ever want to see the most frightening toothy vagina monster ever? If so, Schramm is for you! The bonus is that you don't have to go through the trouble of acquiring any drugs, they're built in! Add on top of that a little death and a sub plot about some rich old guys binding, torturing, and probably killing prostitutes in far more horrible ways than our killer Lothar and you've got a pretty good, pretty busy movie.



Paint is splattered all over the floor, the camera slowly pans through higher, the white paint slowly merging with red blood. It follows the trail until it finally makes its way to Lothar. He lies in a pool of white paint, blood pouring from his head and mouth. His prosthetic leg lies next to him, the ladder he was using crashed upon the floor. The scene rewinds.

"Have you ever seriously thought about God" the woman in the door frame says. "Or how perfect human beings are?" says the man. Schramm stares at them blankly. He lets them in. They take a seat on his couch. A rickety green thing. The room surrounding them is small and dirty looking, but clear of clutter. He offers them some coffee or a cognac, stating how happy he is that they are there. They take him up on both, coffee for the woman, cognac for the man. He steps through the door to the kitchen. The pair make themselves comfortable as they wait for their drinks. Schramm bursts through the kitchen door, knife in hand. He slits the mans throat, sawing back in fourth with a hate filled fury. The woman screams as blood splatters the walls and ceiling. Then he turns his attention to the woman. He raises his hammer and begins smashing her in the skull.

Stripping them, he poses them in sexual positions, blood covered, taking their pictures. He binds the woman in a chair, and once again, takes pictures. Then he starts with his painting, covering the splatters of blood...

Dreams, people running, Lothar included, a marathon. He wakes, grabbing at his leg, pulling back the covers, a bloody stump with the rest of his leg lying on the bed. And back to reality. I'm still not sure if Schramm actually doesn't have a leg, or if he just fears losing his leg.

His prostitute neighbor, does business from her house, she knows Schramm, trusts him, confides in him. She frustrates him. Always there, always talking, always dressed sexy, yet he cant have her. He can hear her having sex through the vents. He gets excited and finally grabs his inflatable torso. He fucks it and as her client climaxes, so does he. He trudges to the bathroom and cleans out the doll.

There is so much stuff going on in this movie. Crazy dreams, people killing themselves in the street, Schramm for whatever reason, pulls the foreskin of his penis outward and pounds three nails through it into a table. We see Schramm murdering many prostitutes, taking out his sexual desire for his neighbor on them. Killing and stripping them, fucking their corpses. At one point he drugs his neighbor, strips her of her clothes and takes pictures of her.

He hates women. This becomes most apparent with the appearance of the vagina monster. He wakes one morning, with a writhing around his crotch. He lifts the sheet and recoils in fear. Sitting there is a small little tentacled flesh thing, vagina in the center, teeth bearing from it, saliva strings between the teeth as it gnashes its maw. Its frightening.

And then there is the old men, they have employed Schramms neighbor to go to their mansion and please them. She has Lothar accompany her the first time, where they only order her to do things to see how well she takes orders. They ask her back again and Schramm is supposed to once again go with her. Only this second time, Schramm has already taken his fall to his death. She goes to the mansion, where she is bound. The last we see of her is her bound to a chair, full of fear.

This movie is crazy. Its got a lot going on, but doesn't explain much. If you want to see a bunch of crazy stuff, and think you can piece it all together, give it a shot. Plus, its only sixty minutes, so give it a go!
