Very well executed

... View MoreI really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MorePremutos is Olaf Ittenbach's infamous gorefest that is often compared to Brain Dead because of its final splatter orgy. We follow the story of a German small town boy Matthias who gets hold of the book of the fallen angel Premutos. The book has been passed protected by witches and black magicians over the centuries, with lots of flashbacks set in the Second World War or the Dark Ages. Matthias accidentally unleashes hell on earth and a horde of zombies comes to haunt his family, which defends itself in any means possible, including swords, axes, chainsaws and lots and lots of guns.Premutos was a lot of of fun, but its gore factor does not quite compare to Brain Dead. The make-up effects Brain Dead are a bit more ingenious and over-the-top. Here, there's just a lot of shooting. Ittenbach definitely nails the head explosion effect, which looks really really good—but unfortunately that's how almost every zombie dies. Compared to Brain Dead, this feels a bit more like a young boy's shoot-em up fantasy.I loved the "small town" German feel that pervades the movie. There's a lot of intentionally (and unintentionally) funny acting here, as well as some highly stereotypical characters. What I really like about this film, and many other low- budget movies like it, is that you get the feeling that the crew had fun producing the movie.Premutos is definitely worth a watch for fans of low-budget gore and splatter.
... View MoreMINOR MINOR Spoilers....I mean MINOR! A question that pops into your mind while watching this movie is: "Would I kill myself if I had my balls bitten off by a zombie?" You find out that answer and many more brain busters while watching this gore fest.Movie's about a dude named Mathias (who is incredibly poor at soccer) who has visions about the first God named Premutos. These dreams are real weird and actually I'm having a hard time remembering exactly what this is really about. You most likely will too. All I know is that Premutos through Mathias returns to Earth to reclaim his world. Zombies appear through some type of means and all hell breaks loose. The death count in this movie is ridiculously high. You actually receive a total at the end of the movie which is a dare I hope someone else takes on.The movie is full of gore and blood. There are some gaps between the gore, some momentary lags and some unnecessary scenes(dinner scene)....but when the violence appears it doesn't let up. The ending especially.There are people that find the dubbing to be atrocious. It is bad. It seems the people in control of the dubbing wrote their own script for the movie. There's added one liners everywhere in this movie. BUT if you have a silly sense of humor you WILL enjoy some of them. There were times in this movie I busted out laughing due to the lack of expectation of some seriously silly writing. ie: Girl In Stands: "You'd look better without the shorts!" Mathias: "Suck my d!ck b!tch!" You'd expect that to be a compliment...nope...and it turned out hilarious. As I said, the dubbing is poorly done, but the writing is sometimes pretty damn funny.Premutos is definitely worthy of comparison to Braindead/Dead Alive. It definitely has a higher body count, but when it comes down to amount of blood/gore...Braindead is still champ. Don't let that sway you, the movie is FULL of great gory action. It's definitely not executed as well as Braindead, but it gets the job done.For fans of gore, you will definitely not be disappointed.

View MoreYoung guy Mathias(Olaf Ittenbach)has visions of a fallen angel,Premutos wreaking havoc thorough the ages.His stepfather Walter(Christopher Stacey)unearths an ancient book of evil and when Mathias read it he is transformed into Premutos.Raising an army of zombies,Premutos gatecrashes Walter's birthday party and all hell breaks loose."Premutos-The Fallen Angel" clearly plays homage to classic horror films like "The Evil Dead","Dawn of the Dead" or "Scanners".There is an incredible amount of blood and gore-this film easily ranks up with Peter Jackson's "Braindead".The 30 minute climax is amazing-non stop gore and slaughter.We have a glorious kill count of 139 here and they are seemingly all shown.There is also pretty nice sex scene added for a good measure.Highly recommended.
... View MoreWatching this film you'll probably feel the urge to skip the "story" parts by using your fast forward button. Very similar to pr0n movies, the story between the "real" scenes is more than boring and with actors even worse than in pr0n (which has its own unintentional humor sometimes). Some actors don't fit their role because of their age - but with so many flaws in the movie this is one of the minor problems. What you can imagine is that Olaf Ittenbach is really ambitious and gave his "Herzblut" for this production. That's something that should be supported, because with a real budget I think he would make incredible movies. Nevertheless, some gore scenes in the movie are quite good and what the film doesn't lack of is blood, blood and then: more blood...
