Must Love Death
The best thing that ever happened to Norman’s depressing life was being hit by a car. He starts a relationship with the driver, a beautiful young woman named Jennifer whose life is equally troubled. The love affair ends when a misunderstanding with Jennifer’s boorish on-again-off-again boyfriend finally pushes Norman to consider suicide. He answers an ad looking for four like-minded people to plot ending their lives in a mass suicide, but when he arrives at the meeting, the alleged suicides turn out to be a couple of torturous, though incompetent, murderers looking for a willing victim. Norman is forced to fend for his life, and a comical and macabre fight against death begins.
MUST LOVE DEATH is an anti-romantic comedy that artfully blends two opposite genres, romantic comedy and extreme horror. German writer/director Andreas Schaap’s first feature film is truly original, delivering a twisted, genre-bending thrill-ride of a date movie.
