    The Necro Files is a 1997 horror comedy zombie film by director Matt Jaissle. The film depicts zombies as sexual creatures whose desires for human flesh are not limited to anthropophagy.[1]

    Plot[edit]

    The film follows a zombie rapist as he returns from the dead to cannibalize and assault the living.[2]

    Reception[edit]

    Erik Piepenburg of The New York Times called the film a "jaw-droppingly gory trash fest" which should be seen by "video disciples with steel caldrons for stomachs".[3] Noreen Giffney expresses in her book Queering the Non/human that the film "offers cinematic representations of clinical associations between criminality, murder and necrophilia" but that the film is infantile.[4]

    Sequels[edit]

    The film was followed by two sequels Necro Files 2 (2003)[5] and Necro Filles 3000 (2017).[6]
