Premutos: The Fallen Angel Trailers

Premutos is the first of the fallen Angels, even before Lucifer. His Goal is to rule the world, the living and the dead. His son should pave the way for him and appears arbitrary throughout human history and is then recognized as some kind of monster. In the present time, a young man living in Germany begins to suffer from visionary flashbacks - of the lives he lived in the past as Premutos' son! He remembers how he appeared in the middle age, when mankind suffered from pestilence and during WWII in Russia. On his (earthly) father's birthday, a case containing some strange old book and a yellow potion is found in their garden, which was hidden by some peasant in 1943, who experimented with witchery in order to re-animate his deceased wife. Whe the young man gets in touch with the book and some of the yellow potion, he mutates into a monster and awakens an army of zombies, ready to bring back the fallen Angel Premutos and to disturb the little birthday party

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

While I love Dead Alive, Premutos is clearly better in the splatter dept. While the English overdub is pretty bad, gore-hounds will be blown away. Dead alive may actually have more bloodshed, but Premutos has more brutality and grit. Everything about Premutos just has a filth to it unlike anything else. Olaf Ittenbach is a master makeup fx genius. Wrap your face in barbed wire and add tension until your lips are ripped back over your gums revealing your skull, that's Premutos. Clean the beer vomit off the coffee table then wipe your face with the same rag, that's Premutos. Unrelenting epic masterpiece of Splatterrific mayhem and carnage. Peace.

I just recently started getting into the German side of horror. And I was very lucky that Premutos was the first one I saw. This movie is a non stop bloodbath. This film has everything a gore-hound could want from exploding heads to exploding bodies. And the best part of it is it really doesn't stop. The storyline is pretty good also, I thought. Mixed with great humor and some truly hilarious characters. It is really hard to say which movie is more violent, Brain Dead or Premutos. I personally think Premutos because of the non stop gore through out the movie. What made Brain Dead such a great movie was a good story and the last 25 minutes of the movie. Premutos is similar with a good story but I think the last 30 minutes of Premutos just takes the cake. Over all, one of my all time favorite movies and highly recommend for the ultra gore fan. 10/10 stars

Very original Splatterfest gore flick from Germany, clocking in at around 110 minutes in the uncut version. Possibly one of the goriest movies ever made...much more so than 'Dead Alive' or 'Evil Dead'. The plotline is much like 'Night Of The Living Dead' on Acid. Some really bizarre things happen in the script! It has many unique camera angles, some unique scenes and several highly comedic moments.The domestic Shock-O-Rama DVD release however is another story. It markets itself as having an English dubbed version and the original German audio version. The bad thing is, the German version has no English subtitles at all. This is pathetic since it is aimed at the USA market. Additionally it say that the DVD includes a "Full Color Collectible Booklet". Guess what...no booklet in mine, and it was factory sealed.The English audio dub is pretty laughable. It has a few vocal talents such as Brinke Stevens, Ariauna Albright, and J.R. Bookwalter. But it looks like a bad 70's Kung Fu dubbed movie. The sync is horrible, the voices don't even begin to seem credible for the onscreen characters. The sound effects and foley work in the English dub is outright horrible. The stereo effects in the English dub are equally terrible, it would have sounded better in plain Mono sound! If you switch between the German and English audio tracks it becomes even more apparent.The DVD has a vaguely interesting 50 minute "behind the scenes" featurette in German originally, but dubbed into English by one translator speaking for everyone. He pauses a lot during speaking, so i assume he was translating on the moment. I would have much rather just viewed subtitles.Overall, a well made and unique Horror film from Germany. However, unless you speak fluent German the USA issued DVD will make you want to kill the idiot who decided to dub the movie into English!

I write reviews under the nickname of Gorehound-1, but I also write reviews under the nickname of ~PL~. My reviews, as Gorehound-1, are there to give hints to gore fans, to help them in their choices for viewing or buying a gore movie. I advise you that I am a very strong stomach, and it's almost impossible to gross me out. My ratings are a mark between 0 and 10 for the gore (its quality and amount), the violence, the sadism, and the brutality.(Spoilers warning)Gore quality 9/10: Okay, this features plenty of gore effects, and they are really great! The violence is graphic and extremely gory. You will rarely find better gore effects than what you'll see in Premutos.Gore amount 10/10: I could easily compare it to Braindead. This features an anthology of gore effects. You know, in many movies considered to be in the gore genre, there often is a scene with an exploding head that is considered like a very memorable scene (think about Maniac, or even Dawn of The Dead)...but Premutos features a dozen of really nice exloding heads, and even some exploding bodies! There are many decapitations, mutilations, people being impaled, shot with hand guns or shotguns, cut in pieces with a chainsaw, zombies eating organs, among many, many others! There is also the very agreeable appearance of a tank...I mean, Ittenbach really had to think about it! Using a tank to kill zombies! That's pure genius! Violence 6/10: This is more violent than Braindead...the zombies are not put in a blender in a funny way...they are blown up by a tank, shot with guns, cut in pieces with a chainsaw, hacked with an axe...that kind of stuff...It's just zombies though, but it's still pretty violent at times.Sadism 5/10: The guy with the chainsaw has a real big fun killing all those zombies, and it is evident!Brutality 2/10: Just a few brutal zombie deaths, a couple of smashed bottles on their faces...Gore film to rent 10/10: Really worth a viewing! Especially if you are a GORE fan.Gore film to buy 9/10: Okay okay...it's a gore film...the film itself is not very good, but if you are there for SPLATTER, for GORE, then this is surely a great buy!MPAA says: UNRATEDGH1 says: should be rated NC-17 for pervasive, extremely gory violence, a strong scene of sexuality, and language.
