A handful of b-horror veterans come together to ruin an otherwise wonderfully dark, violent and highly creative German horror film by giving it a screechingly awful, nerve-grating dub treatment. My deepest condolences to Mr. Ittenbach for having his masterwork fall into the hands of the wrong company (SHAME on you, EI/Alternative Cinema!!), and I hope that someday a REAL horror distributor releases this, and gives it the treatment it deserves. Definitely not for the squeamish, nor for the seekers of big-budgeted blockbusters, but the true grue horror fan will probably eat this up with a spoon and then ask for seconds while sporting a gut-eating grin. IF, that is, you can get past the awful dubbing. If you can find this with the original German audio, you're in for a delicious treat.

I decided to give director Ittenbach one more try after seeing The Burning Moon to see if he could improve at all as a director as he has with his FX work...
Nope, not one bit. However it should be said that I'm not sure if I can entirely blame Ittenbach since the English dubbing courtesy of Shock-O-Rama Cinema is so atrocious and distracting that it should be criminal. So it looks like I'll have to watch ANOTHERone before I can write him off altogether.

No masterpiece, but an enjoyable enough trash zombie gore film.
The pacing is somewhat off and the characters and attempts at comedy are also flawed, but the film is redeemed by the final act which delivers around 15 minutes straight of cheap over the top gore effectively enough made to stand up with Zombie masters such as George A. Romero, Lucio Fulci, Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson.
A good starting point for anyone wishing to check out the German underground horror scene as it is less visibly cheap and trashy than Andreas Schnaas's Violent Shit films and less complex and disturbing than Jorg Buttgereit's Nekromantik

Das deutsche Ausnahme-Talent Olaf Ittenbach hat sein Können bereits in einigen Filmen unter Beweis zu stellen, sein drittes GroÃprojekt unter dem Titel "Premutos â Der gefallene Engel" setzt dem allerdings in einigen Punkten noch die Krone auf. Deutsche Independentfilme (das Wort Amateurfilm verwende ich hier aus einem bestimmten Grund nicht) leiden oft darunter, schlichtweg langweilig zu sein. Da erscheint es umso überraschender, dass es Ittenbach selbst bei der sehr hohen Laufzeit von 106 Minuten schafft, den Zuschauer zu fesseln. Sei es durch die Ittenbach-typischen hervorragenden Spezialeffekte oder durch die einfach herrlich schlechten Schauspieler gepaart mit einer noch fürchterlicheren deutschen Nach-Synchro, sodass man schon einiges für Trash übrig haben muss um am "Premutos" Gefallen zu finden. Hat man das Trash-Gen allerdings in sich so wird man mit diesem Streifen viel spaà haben.
Einziger Schwachpunkt an diesem Film ist das Drehbuch, das vor allem am Ende des Films eine sehr plötzliche und auf den ersten Blick auch kaum verständliche Zombie-Invasion vorsieht. Abgesehen von diesem wirklich störenden Mangel ist das Drehbuch für eine Independent-Produktion gelungen.
"Premutos" ist definitiv einer der besten deutschen Filme, die ich je gesehen habe und stellt auch definitiv einen der blutigsten Filme dar, die je produziert wurden. Diesen Streifen kann ich bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen!
