2551.02 – THE ORGY OF THE DAMNED

After he found and lost the Kid in the concrete underground maze of 2551.01, the man in the monkey mask returns and descends even deeper into the belly of the monster. There are no taboos in the grotesque underground realm of Pfaffenbichler’s trilogy, which crosses all borders, especially those of good taste. Reviving the original punk spirit of true independent filmmaking, the director and his ingenious collaborators have concocted another marvel of noisy and nightmarish no-budget ingenuity, The Orgy of the Damned.

“The mad saga about the man in a monkey mask wandering through the torture garden of deviant delights continues. The second part of an intended trilogy, Norbert Pfaffenbichler’s 2551.02 – The Orgy of the Damned picks up exactly where 2551.01 left the stunned viewer craving continuation, and as with all great sequels you needn’t have seen the previous film to be thrilled by this one. Especially if you like slapstick violence, sick sex and pitch-black humour. /…/ This Orgy of the Damned finally delivers on the age-old promise that you will witness things no man has ever seen before. Even your own vomit may stare back at you. Probably because it also can’t wait for 2551.03.”

“2551.02 – The Orgy of the Damned is as unique as it gets: a dream-like horror movie that is wordless but full of music and noises. A tribute to silent cinema and its aesthetics that never tries to imitate the cinema of a century ago but creates a modern, disturbingly contemporary poetic from its themes and tropes. This makes 2551.02 – The Orgy of the Damned as much a darkly trippy avant-garde piece as a full-blown scare fest for every genre aficionado.”
