German underground horror is a subgenre of the horror film, which has achieved cult popularity
since first appearing in the mid-1980s.
Horror films produced by the German underground scene are usually trademarked by their intensity,
taking on topics that are culturally taboo such as rape, necrophilia, andextreme violence. Films that
glorify violence are not technically illegal in Germany, but certain titles are banned by the
government and Zollkriminalamt. Distribution, import, or creation of specific films can constitute
steep fines.
