The Cremator (1969) – DVD Review

So, I just finished watching The Cremator, aka Spalovac mrtvol, and boy, that was not what I was expecting at all. After wandering online a bit, I was lead to believe that I was going to be watching a very dark comedy, or at least something so ridiculous that I would find humor in it. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. The Cremator is a very slow decent into the mind of a man who thinks he’s freeing the souls from those that he cremates and, in turn, allows them to be reincarnated as something better. Of course, all of this is set against the backdrop of World War II and Hitler’s rise to power (now, please tell me where the humor is in that?).
