AFTERMATH is a short, half-hour film that has a minimal plot but maximizes its opportunities for gore. The soundtrack to the film is entirely made of effects and music, and the handsome 35mm cinematography contrasts sharply with its ultra-realistic depictions of autopsies and necrophilia. A coroner finds himself with a series of corpses upon which autopsies must be performed. After finishing with most of the bodies, he comes to the final one, a beautiful young woman who has died tragically. Her appearance awakens a bizarre desire in him, and the execution of this final autopsy takes a shocking turn from the others. GENESIS concentrates more on an extensive plot and theme, but still carries with it Cerda`s taste for disturbing makeup and special effects. Seemingly inspired by the classic Greek tale of Pygmalion, GENESIS concerns a sculptor whose wife has died suddenly in a car accident. Unable to cope with his grief, he begins to create a sculpture in her image. But as his work progresses, the sculpture begins to become flesh and blood, even as its maker`s own skin becomes hard and stonelike. Nacho Cerda has garnered a reputation as a cult horror director, and his two major films AFTERMATH and GENESIS prove that he deserves that status. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
