Schramm is a grimy, character-study horror film that reminded me a lot of Henry: Portrait or a Serial Killer. This is not a long film, and it is told in a non-linear fashion - the idea is supposed to be that our titular character, Lothar Schramm, is flashing back on his life as he dies - but it just came across as a way of making up for the slow pace. I heard about Schramm on one of those "disturbing-movie lists," and that's mainly what this offers, we have: only one actual murder - which is surprising for a movie about a serial killer, a suicide, a severed leg, an eye removal, a cock nailing, a Cronenberg monster, and Schramm fucking an inflatable torso. The effects are okay. I thought the eye scene was good. It was difficult to tell if the cock nailing scene was real or not, since there was a cut before the rammer struck, but it looked pretty real after that. The fucking of the sex toy was very real. Aside from that, there's not much going on here. Lothar is in his apartment for most of the runtime. So, aside from the aforementioned shock moments, it's just a guy at home. Any fans of extreme horror will want to see this, if only to check it off the list.
