ClfGlltt I don't normally leave comments about films (usually just read them) but after watching this pile of dog dung, I felt compelled to warn people to keep away. A lot of films I watch are no budget z grades, I watch a few block busters now and again to regain some sanity. I love the b movie thing but this IS the worse film I can remember, EVER. This even beats the awful "Necro files" and "Goblet of gore". Yes there was gore but the gratuitous corpse "thing" come off it how long did that go on for. Yes I should have turned it off, don't know why I didn't it certainly wasn't because of any entertainment value. Film quality rubbish of a poor VHS source, acting.....what acting, story then....what story, no burn any evidence of this now and teach the children never to embark on this kind of thing ever again.

BA_Harrison The year before Jörg Buttgereit's infamous movie Nekromantik shocked viewers with its graphic images of necrophilia, Belgian Johan Vandewoestijne gave fans of sick cinema his opus dedicated to the joys of corpse lovin': Lucker the Necrophagous.Although Lucker isn't quite as compelling as it's German cousin, due to too many tedious scenes that just don't know when to quit (seemingly endless shots of women screaming; people running around corridors for an eternity, etc.), it does offer a couple of particularly nauseating moments that rival Nekromantik on the disgustometer, and the film should therefore be of some interest to anyone interested in extreme horror.Vandewoestijne's grimy, low-budget sleaze-fest features Nick Van Suyt as balding serial killer John Lucker, who escapes from a private clinic (with absolutely zero security) in order to track down the woman who narrowly escaped his clutches several years earlier. Whilst attempting to locate this particular victim, nutty John takes time out to do a little killing and raping (in that order) to get himself back into the swing of things.Lucker is not an easy film to endure: not only is it very violent and thoroughly repellent at times, but it is also an extremely amateurish production that features awful acting (and equally bad dubbing), a dodgy script, some iffy special make-up effects, terrible pacing, and crap editing. In short, it is going to appeal to a very limited audience. However, it is definitely the film to watch if you want to see a fat, hairy-assed guy in mirror shades going at it hammer and tongs with the maggoty, decomposing body of a hooker!!! It is also where you will find an equally charming scene where the titular character gropes and fingers the very same putrescent corpse, before proceeding to lick its disgusting, slimy effluence from his hands.Those with a hair-trigger gag reflex may want to put down some paper or prepare a bucket before watching.

fudgepax261 John Lucker awakes in a hospital bed,from a failed suicide attempt a few years ago and he proceeds to escape only trying to dodge numerous hospital employees until he kills a man that discovers him.Somehow he puts on pants,sneakers, sunglasses and(haha well look at you!) a leather jacket and he kills the dead man's girlfriend. Johan Vandewoestijne's Lucker works as a portrait of a quiet serial killing necrophiliac who stalks women and kills them,made in 1986 just the year before Jorge Buttgereit's excellent Nekromantik.Nick Van Suyt's performance as the creepy,menacing John Lucker makes the film have a gritty feeling and the music builds the tense atmosphere.Lucker learns one of his last victims is still alive,he becomes angry and starts killing his way towards her,he kills a prostitute and leaves her body for a few days until the sex starts,the sex scene with the corpse is gritty,doesn't look the same from Jorge Buttgereit's Nekromantik,a film that I dearly loved and admired for its work in the life of necrophiliacs.Since Jorge Buttgereit made necrophilia look like a good thing, Johan Vandewoestijne makes it look too good from that finger icky scene,there is plenty of misogyny around.Lucker is a well crafted horror thriller with Nick Van Suyt's menacing,somewhat quiet performance as John Lucker,the ominous night stalking atmosphere that Johan Vandewoestijne had made.The film and music has a feeling of stark isolation of John Lucker being the only person dead to the world.Although I cant recommend it from not really getting to know John Lucker much,he seems like a guy you become friends with in a bar but doesn't say you're friends since he's too quiet to tell you why he's hanging with you.I would've liked to know why John Lucker became this way or why he's mentally sick and I don't wanna bring up Jorge Buttgereit' film again as an example.oh and one more thing:what's with those series of psychotic attacks?

EVOL666 Sorry guys - this one blows. It blows in pretty much every conceivable way. Watching this jackass walk around the psych ward, then the highway, then the city for literally minutes and minutes on end is pretty much like watching paint dry. The kill scenes are not nearly as "rough" or nasty as they're made out to be, and the corpse-bang scene towards the end is far more forgettable than the somewhat similar scene in NEKROMANTIK. Maybe I got a chopped copy or something, I got mine from Visual-Pain, and it seems to be duped from Midnight Video as that logo comes up during the feature. If my copy IS uncut then I'm REALLY disappointed in this one...The basic story (for anyone who is still interested) is about John Lucker - a psycho and necrophiliac who escapes a mental hospital and goes on a rape/murder spree. His goal seems to be to find an ex-victim that he didn't get to "finish up" with, and to do this by walking around as dully as possible for almost the entire running time of the film...No offense, but I can't see how anyone could possibly like anything about this film. I like schlocky, exploit/gore films as much as the next guy (hell, probably WAY more than the next guy...) but I gotta draw the line somewhere - and LUCKER is that line. The ONLY 2 redeeming factors that I can find in this film, is that the rape and murder scenes are on par with other exploit-style films (though not NEARLY as rough or unique as you may be lead to believe)...and the guy that plays Lucker is relatively effective - mainly because he's pretty creepy looking and keeps his mouth shut til the last few minutes of the film. I'll give a point for each of those - and that's being generous. If you are thinking about buying this to see some sort of "extreme" gore/exploit film - please take my advice and don't bother...you will be sadly disappointed. 2/10
