An extremely gloomy and foul “Alpensaga”, which makes absolutely no claims to morality or political correctness awaits those brave souls who con-sider indulging in this insane 1970s blend of Heimat film and Texas Chain Saw Massacre: in Die Totenschmecker the idyllic illusion of a tranquil mountain farm deceives, and the inner-family conflicts boil over when a group of Roma set up their camp close by. With this horror flick, director Richard Jackson drives the topos of the classical Heimat film ad absurdum.
