Premutos - Der gefallene Engel

PREMUTOS is a fun, pretty much non-stop blood-bath. There are bound to be numerous comparisons to Peter Jackson's gore epic BRAINDEAD because these 2 films seem to be locked in a constant feud over which film has the higher "red count". Personally, I would put money on BRAINDEAD in that bet, but PREMUTOS is a close runner up. To be quite honest, I don't really understand the concept of PREMUTOS. A lot of the scenes are pretty disjointed, and the dub in the U.S. Shock-O-Rama release is really, really, bad (but completely hilarious and makes the film even better...). This film is full of exploding heads, limbs, torsos, whatever...and some genuinely funny/gross moments. Anyone who considers themselves a true "gorehound" has got to own this film. The FX are pretty good, the story may be a little lame, but this is a really fun movie even with it's faults. Not for the squeamish - Highly recommended 8 1/2 out of 10

Young 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.

I never understood a word in this flick. But that didn't stop me from watching it again and again. With a gory bloody mutilated body count of 117, every gore fan should be utterly enthralled! Unbelievable, puts Peter Jackson and even Andreas Schnass to shame for sure quantity and quality of gore. And even though I speak no German and there is a lot of flashbacks and a few talky parts, I think I followed the story pretty good. Makes a good gory watch!!!

While Premutos isn't the most comprehensible of films... and it drags more than a little towards the end [with some rather unnecessary scenes at a dinner party] - that's unimportant.

You watch it for the end. The words "violent orgasm" don't begin to describe the apocalyptic mayhem that consumes the end of this movie - a battle against the undead that includes pistols, shotguns, swords, grenades, pick axes, chainsaws, scythes, machineguns and main battle tanks. Absolutely incredible and worth every minute of what came before it - this fight is one of the best put to horror film.

After watching so many German horror films that haven't been good like Melancholy Der Engel, Ostermontag, and Nekromantik, this movie... I can not say it's terrible, but it's not good either. A lot of people say that this movie is very similar to BRAINDEAD, and to a degree they are right. The gore scenes are spot on Braindead. However, Braindead was much better done, quality-wise. This was an amateur movie low-budget film. I can say that the first half of the introduction wasn't that good, but the second half gets fun, also the ending was an extreme downer.

The acting was okay I suppose, the camera work it's a low-budget movie. Plot, I can sit here all day and say how the plot makes barely any logic, but it still is a fascinating movie. It's in the same boat as PINK FLAMINGOS. Everything isn't good, but it's still fun to watch. My biggest issue with this movie is the historical scenes. They seem so out of place, and pointless. They ruined the whole movie for me. Why do we have to have a scene of the Scottish War or the Stalingrad War??? I understand why because it shows that PREMUTOS existed forever, but those scenes should have been way shorter. That's my negative, because it's completely leftfield, and the intro to this movie is completely out of the globe. Everything else to me works. The main story of this dad that's an army veteran, and the birthday party was a fun watch. However, I'd prefer if I could watch this movie without the Historical events, they are completely needless in the movie in my opinion.

This movie well if you liked GRINDHOUSE films, BRAINDEAD and SHAITAN's WARRIOR you'll enjoy this,
