The Necro Files is a 1997 horror comedy zombie film by director Matt Jaissle. The film depicts zombies as sexual creatures whose desires for human flesh are not limited to anthropophagy.

Plot

The film follows a zombie rapist as he returns from the dead to cannibalize and assault the living.

Reception

Erik Piepenburg of The New York Times called the film a "jaw-droppingly gory trash fest" which should be seen by "video disciples with steel caldrons for stomachs". Noreen Giffney expresses in her book Queering the Non/human that the film "offers cinematic representations of clinical associations between criminality, murder and necrophilia" but that the film is infantile.

Sequels

The film was followed by two sequels Necro Files 2 (2003) and Necro Files 3000 (2017).
