Premutos: The Fallen Angel (1997)

It seem like a couple of cinema's students who have make this film but the gore scenes are just the best!!! I saw this movie with the English lining, whose are so ridiculously bad(the mouth doesn't fit, lack of acting, compute sounds) but I laugh all the way from the beginning to the end. This German film explode of blood and, sometimes, abuse of it. If you want to see a good movie, I don't recommend this movie. If you want to see a none serious movie to laugh with a couple of friend : go for it! That's none expensive entertainment. The scenario is very confused and the montage make it very difficult to follow the action by time but, in fact, there's not a lot to understand. In the line of Bad taste and The Toxic Avenger.

Even though the whole film was in German without English subtitles, that still didn't stop me from enjoying this gorefest. I personally think Olaf Ittenbach made this movie with the intentions of trying to top Peter Jackson's 'Braindead' in the gore category, but unfortunately, I still feel 'Braindead' is the King Of Gore Films. Nevertheless, 'Premutos' never fails to shock and awe with the gallons and gallons of gore, blood and guts that the zombies so desperately crave. Even though this film is very over-the-top at certain points; there's a scene where the main character is picking his nose at the dinner table and flicks his booger off of his finger and it accidentally shoots down some dinner guest's throat - very reminiscent of the dinner scene during 'Braindead' where mum squeezes the pus and blood from her bite into the dinner guest's creamy custard. Whatever the case, 'Premutos' is definitely a movie of its time and could quite possibly be the 2nd goriest film of all time. Don't worry Peter Jackson, 'Braindead' is still undefeated when it comes to gore.

i had been told that premutos was goreier than peter jackson's braindead but i dont think it is. the effects are not quite as profound as in Braindead and the shi**y quality of the equipment theyve used makess the film a lot less powerful, that is not to say that premutos is bad...BRAINDEAD is just a masterpiece and should not be compared to anything. the dubbed english dialogue in premutos is utterly atrocious but since there is no subtitles on the german tracks its the only way youll know whats going onmy advice is to watch it in german and swap back to the english audio only when you have to. the movie is pretty good as far as the independent scene is concerned but those who love the mainstream hollywood bogroll will hate itthis film is very similar to THE DEAD NEXT DOOR and Leif Jonker's DARKNESS. If you liked them youll like this.

If the Academy handed out Oscars each year for BEST SPLATTER FILM, "Premutos - Der gefallene Engel" woud have ran away with one the little bald naked guys in 1997. This film surpassed any movie I saw that year for scenes of graphic violence and gore. However, it wouldn't have grabbed any trophies in the BEST ACTOR, BEST ACTRESS or BEST SCREENPLAY catagories. The acting is just above the usual USA Channel's "Up All Night" censored skin flick. Olaf Ittenbach and company could act rings around Burt Ward any day of the week, standing on their heads, with their mouths full of peanut butter. But if you're expecting classically trained theater actors, stay away. Stay far away.I saw the film in German, without the aid of subtitles, but I found the story really easy to follow. Perhaps, that's because "Premutos" really doesn't have much of a story. Sure, there's a little exposition, attempting to explain the mythos behind the evil Premutos and the reasons why Ittenbach's character, Mathias has such horrible luck with his crotch, but that's it. The flashbacks and the scenes involving groin brutality are just filler in between the scenes of zombie mayhem. And what mayhem it is!Director, producer, and writer Olaf Ittenbach has done wonders on a shoestring budget. Most of that budget, it appears, went towards the outstanding special effects make-up. Ittenbach almost manages to outdo BRAINDEAD's climatic lawnmower battle with a thirty minute attack on the senses involving handguns, shotguns, axes, a chainsaw, and even a tank! Yes, that's right, a tank!"Premutos" is a gore hound's dream. Sure it lacks the charming story and good acting of Peter Jackson's BRAINDEAD, but it's splendid splatter effects and demented sense of humor make up for its shortcomings and earns it a place in the Splatter Movie Hall of Fame. Highly recommended to horror fans everywhere.
