Lucker (1986), better known by its longer title, Lucker the Necrophagous, is a Belgian exploitation film directed and produced by Johan Vandewoestijne, and was released in France and Belgium in 1986. It is notorious for several scenes of extreme gore and misogyny, and has achieved a cult status by horror collectors. However, due to several distribution issues in the past, it has been banished into obscurity.
Because of its notoriety, Lucker is an often traded item between horror fans. It is best known for its unflinching portrayal of necrophilia in perhaps the film's most infamous scene, where serial killer John Lucker, played by Nick Van Suyt, waits a week after slaying a prostitute to have sex with her badly decomposing corpse.
A re-edition by Johan Vandewoestijne is expected to be worldwide released in may 2007. In avant-première, the new edition was shown by the Flemish Film Museum and archive in Kortrijk on December 7, 2006.[1]
