A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A slightly surreal take on death, mostly suicide, from the director of Nekromantik.
Der Todesking consists of seven shorts named after the days of the week. Other than the overlying theme of death and a recurring body in varied stages of decomposition, the seven stories are not inter-connected.
Music is an integral part of the movie and is quite brilliant especially the soundtrack to the decomposing body. Some of the more interesting scenes include:
1. A long continuous rotating shot of a room with a man doing different things at different times of the day. Lots of rehearsals probably went into this to make sure the actor got his timing right.
2. Two sexy female Nazis cutting off the cock of a prisoner with shears.
3. A disgruntled boyfriend watching the above scene, then shooting his girlfriend and framing her splatter on the wall as a photographic memory.
4. The philosophies spoken by the mass-murder woman are eerily current in our times of mass shootings.
7 super weird short films named after each day of the week. This was an unexpected surprise. I liked this film a lot. All of the shorts are pretty good. I liked “Wednesday” the best. For some reason “Thursday,” the one with all the names and the filming of the bridge, made me feel uneasy. I couldn’t quite grasp what the point was in “Friday” but that’s OK. Overall I think it is just great. 4 stars.
sorry i dont get the appeal !
Few can portray a contrast of the grotesque and the beautiful on the level of Buttgereit. Der Todesking is a brilliant anthology of suffering, decay, and existential dread.
i like this alot, esp with the soundtrack
Thank you so much, I love all about this movie. Wonderfull atmosphere am Sonntag mit der Mann 😁
I actually enjoyed it because it was very cinematic and beautiful–also the soundtrack fucking slaps
waste of time Nekromantik it is the only film id watch again of this guy
love everything about this movie
Serious contender for one of the worse movies ever made!!!
The rotting body effects are very good, the cracked skin, bones and maggots are too detailed.
serious SERIOUSLY
WTF
Not for me
Only decent scene was the penis removal…..
the woman that was watching the couple kissing was pathetic and you can tell she never cleaned those damn windows.the movie was boring as shit and i regret wasting my time on this bullshit
Guaranteed this movie has the best theme track of any movie on this site.
Don’t @ me. 5*
The young man choosing to commit suicide by carbon dioxide inhalation was heartbreaking to watch. I found these features mesmerizing.
the guy in the last sequence had just been told he’d have to watch the first six days again
interesting idea but lame film
Possibly one of the dumbest, pointless movies I have seen for a while. Sorry, did not enjoy it at all.
More beautiful than effed up.
