The Corpse of Anna Fritz

Review of The Corpse of Anna Fritz: A Morbidly Hilarious Ride

Picture this: you’re a young mortuary assistant, and your day just got a whole lot weirder. Enter Anna Fritz, a stunningly beautiful actress who has kicked the bucket, and our protagonist, Pau, thinks it’s a grand idea to invite his two friends over to check out the deceased starlet. Because, you know, nothing says “let’s hang out” quite like a corpse!

As Pau, the young mortuary worker, prepares to show off his latest “guest,” he’s not just thinking about the professional aspects of his job. Oh no, he’s got a much more peculiar plan in mind! With the enthusiasm of a kid showing off his new toy, he invites his friends, a pair of equally misguided gents, to come take a gander at Anna’s lifeless form. And let me tell you, if you thought celebrity worship was taken too far, just wait until you see these guys!

Now, here’s where things get spicy—like a jalapeño in a funeral home. The trio, fueled by morbid curiosity and a dash of misguided bravado, decides they want to become the last people to “get intimate” with Anna. Yes, you read that right! They proceed to disregard the fact that she’s, you know, dead. It’s a plot twist that even M. Night Shyamalan would raise an eyebrow at. Talk about a grave misunderstanding!

As they gleefully navigate the ethical minefield of necrophilia—because who doesn’t love a good moral quandary wrapped in a comedy?—the film serves up a buffet of surreal humor. Imagine the awkward conversations that must ensue: “So, which one of us is going to be the first to… you know?” It’s a cringe-fest that keeps you wondering how far these guys will go before realizing that maybe, just maybe, they’ve crossed a line that even the bravest of horror films wouldn’t dare tread.

But wait! The hilarity doesn’t stop there. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the plot takes a turn for the bizarre as things spiral out of control. The trio’s antics lead to a series of increasingly absurd situations, including a frantic struggle to keep the corpse under wraps (literally) while trying to dodge the law and the inevitable consequences of their, um, “adventurous” choices. It’s like watching a slapstick comedy unfold in a mortuary, complete with all the awkwardness of a family reunion gone horribly wrong.

In a shocking twist that no one saw coming—except maybe the audience who can’t look away from this train wreck—things take a dark turn. The film cleverly juxtaposes the grotesque with the humorous, leaving viewers both horrified and amused as they grapple with the absurdity of the situation. Who knew a film about a corpse could evoke such a rollercoaster of emotions?

Ultimately, The Corpse of Anna Fritz serves as a bizarre commentary on fame, mortality, and the lengths to which people will go to chase a fleeting thrill. It’s a grave reminder that while life is short, bad decisions can last forever—especially when they involve a dead celebrity. So grab your friends, but maybe skip the trip to the mortuary. Unless, of course, you’re looking for a story that’s truly to die for!
