Storyline

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...

Head Explosion Extravaganza!

MINOR 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.
