In the Middle Ages, Necronos (Thomas Sender) the demon was burned and killed because he was collecting souls for the Devil (Mike Weishaupt) ... but in modern times he is reborn, and with the help of Goran (Timo Fuchs), a dim-witted, mute and violent demon, he starts to collect souls for the Devil's army of darkness once more.

Why now?

Because the Chosen One has arrived on earth, a white witch who could destroy Necronos for good, but whose virgin blood he needs to make himself invincible. And while Goran roams the countryside, either killing or kidnapping everybody in his way, Necronos tries to track down the Chosen One with the help of the Witch (Manoush), a  rather unreliable and clumsy partner-in-crime he has long wanted to get rid of, but whom he needs to find the Chosen One - which she manages after many failed attempts in the person of Michelle (Saskia Neumüller), an innocent young woman who has no idea concerning her powers.

While Necronos is busy with Michelle though, David (Mario Zimmerschitt), a prisoner he keeps chained up in his dungeon, manages to free himself, and somehow David manages to free Michelle as well. Later he even gives his life when rear-guarding her escape - but all to no avail, she is recaptured ...

Goran is now personally put in charge of her, but she gradually feels her powers manifesting and tries to persuade Goran to let her go using only the power of good. She succeeds, too, but alas too late, Necronos had already been warned by the Devil that Michelle would try as much, and he arrives just in time to behead Goran, then he slits Michelle's throat, collects her blood of invincibility, and releases his zombies on unsuspecting humankind.

 

Necronos might not be the most intellectually challenging of movies, but it's an old-fashioned gorefest in the best possible way: Old-fashined because the film lacks what spoils so many modern-day horror flicks, like shaky camerawork to fake immediacy, rapid-fire editing, extended textbook-style chase and action scenes, post-modern pop culture references, CGI-effects or too big a reliance on post production effects.

Instead, Necronos goes straight for the jugular, just like the Euro-horror classics loved by so many would: There is plenty of violence, guts and gore, all in plain sight of the camera, there's quite a bit of nudity thrown in for good measure, and the film doesn't waste much time with complex narrative build-ups. This of course means the plot as such is extremely straight forward and the characters hardly rise above cardboard quality ... but hey, this is above all a gore movie, and as such it's the perfect party flick - best enjoyed with a couple of mates and a couple of beers!
