Premutos

Watching 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...

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,

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 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.
