''The Death King'' (German: ''Der Todesking'') is a 1990 German avant-garde horror {{anthology film}} directed by Jörg Buttgereit (''Film/{{Nekromantik}}''). The film consists of seven segments, each attributed to a different day of the week, centered around the subject of death, all framed by a time-lapsed shot of a decaying human corpse.
----
!!This film provides examples of the following tropes:
* AnthologyFilm: A series of seven episodes exploring the topic of death and suicide, framed by a vision of a rotting human corpse.
* AxCrazy: The young woman in "Saturday" who shoots up the audience at a rock concert is clearly not all there mentally.
* TheCameo: The frontman of the band in the "Saturday" segment is played by Bela B., drummer of the German rock band Die Ärzte.
* CentralTheme: Death, particularly of the violent sort, and suicide.
* CyanidePill: At the end of "Monday", the subject swallows a poison pill and dies in his bathtub.
* DrivenToSuicide: A recurring subject in the film.
** "Monday" depicts a man coming home, calling his workplace to announce his resignation, writing cryptic messages, and then cleaning his apartment one last time before committing suicide by CyanidePill in his bathtub.
** "Tuesday" ends with a man's murder of his girlfriend revealed as being presented on a television screen in a room where another man has hanged himself.
** In "Wednesday", a man, distraught over his unhappy marriage which culminated in the murder of his wife, asks a young woman to shoot him, only to grab the gun and turn it on himself.
** "Thursday" contains a list of people who have committed suicide by jumping from a certain bridge.
** In "Friday", a woman receives a chain letter urging her to kill herself, but thankfully ignores it, ripping it up and throwing it away.
** In "Sunday", a clearly depressed man violently bashes his head against a nearby wall until he finally succumbs to brain damage.
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: The "Thursday" segment consists of a single prolonged shot of a motorway bridge somewhere in Germany, accompanied by text listing the names, ages, and occupations of people who have committed suicide by jumping from it.
