PREMUTOS: THE FALLEN ANGEL

Premutos - Der gefallene Engel

1997 • DE HMDB
March 24, 1997

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

Premutos, the fallen angel, is an entity that has returned to Earth for centuries, always bringing death and destruction with it. A poor boy is its incarnation in the modern world and is tormented by visions that take him back to past eras, until he transforms into Premutos, unleashing an entire army of the undead. Olaf Ittenbach, the third largest exponent of the Teutonic splatter underground, made his film debut with this movie (16mm, to be precise). The film, in itself, does not focus so much on the story as on the special effects, and it must be said that the latter do their duty well. Of course, with a low budget, the film has its limitations (an example? The guns do not fire: in post-production the sounds were added, but there is no flash!) and everything, in the end, boils down to a bloodbath (with a big debt to “Braindead” by Peter Jackson), occasionally interrupted by some comic skits, but it is worth watching with a certain pleasure and interest.
