Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

GL84 Trying to live out his life, a young man is plagued by flashbacks of himself fighting the fallen God Premutos throughout history and gradually believes that he is the son of the being which brings about an apocalypse as the slain followers rise from the dead to attack the countryside.This is easily one of the goriest films ever made. One of the better features here is that there is really no way to describe the gore and bloodshed present in the film. Chainsaw evisceration's, being split in half, decapitations, slit throats, axes sliced into almost every body part and gunshots are used to inflict damage, and this is just the beginning of this one. There is much more to this, and with both sides getting torn up as there are so many deaths and mutilations on display it just becomes a showcase for the special effects. The good part is that most of them are quite impressive in their on-screen realization, which makes them appear as if it's happening in real life and therefore more relatable. The zombies here are just delicious-looking, full of European goodness with facial wounds and scars, body modification and damage done to them that is quite striking and memorable. This is the movie's greatest feat, as since it's all kept light-hearted so an incredibly gory movie is fun to watch. Beyond the gore, there is a lot to like about this one which includes the action scenes. The flashbacks spread liberally throughout the film definitely get better and more intense as it goes along. The attack on the farmhouse is a great one, with plenty of action, gore and some great moments spread in it, and the WWII one sticks out as well. Of course, the final half hour of the film features some of the most impressive gore effects ever as a continuous series of action scenes happen during that time that it's nearly suffocating. It is wall-to-wall to a degree rarely seen in such a film, and the fact that it's so long a sequence makes it all the better. While not laugh-out-loud funny, there are some pretty funny sequences here that do get a couple chuckles. A soccer sequence is the most likely, due to an outcome that could be seen coming from a mile away, but yet still appeals to men everywhere who love the lowest-common-denominator gags and the dinner party sequence gets some good laughs. Despite the gore in here, this is still flawed. One of the main things is the pretty nonsensical plot. It's almost impossible to tell what's going on in the film, especially at the very beginning and the fact that it keeps going back and forth through times makes it all the more difficult. There really isn't any motive for Premutos' return, and no attempt is even made, which would've been a nice inclusion into the narrative. His threat is revealed numerous times, but nothing is said about why this particular time and place is the time for him to return. Even still, once the zombie resurrection has started they both disappear from the film with no explanation as to why. This is the greatest danger to the film and the only part holding it down.Rated UR/NC-17: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, a sex scene and themes of incest and S&M.

Tromafreak Ever Wonder what could have happened if Peter Jackson and the legendary, Andreas Schnaas had gotten together to co-direct an outgageously morbid splatter-piece (with humorous dubbing) that would impress, if not shock even the most hardened of gorehounds? Me either, but if such a thing had ever happened, such a love-child of exploitation would have no doubt, been named Premutos: Lord Of The Living Dead.As it would turn out, Lucifer is not the only fallen Angel, in fact, he's not even the first. There have been two others. This apocalyptic tale revolves around the first to get a swelled head and turn on God. The Lord of the living-dead, Premutos has been summoned to wreak bloody havoc on humankind, off and on throughout history. Then there's Matthias. This poor guy has been plagued with traumatizing visions all week. Every time Matthias gets banged up, he's temporarily transported to certain era's involving Premutos, including the middle ages, the crucifixion and World War II. And considering how much the hapless Matthias gets banged up, it's been quite a week. These flashbacks also speak of atrocities of the future, and when Matthias's homeless-looking/military-enthusiast father throws some book into the equation, Premutos's, somehow, is able to return to Earth (I never said it was coherent), along with the living dead, leading to the ultimate apocalyptic bloodbath, or at least something similar.Then there's the gore, let's talk about that for a second. I, for one, am extremely impressed. We're talking non-stop, jaw-dropping gore, not quite as gory as Dead Alive, but what is? Actually, Premutos ain't all that far off. Probably the 4th or 5th goriest movie I've seen. Cheap, and excessive to the point of cheesiness (not unlike the acting), and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you consider yourself a gorehound, your collection will never be complete without Premutos.What a swell little movie. Really, just a pitch-black delight, no matter how you look at it. As a long-time collector of the gory and the obscure, finding something this hardcore makes all that searching well worth it. As far as 90's B-horror goes, Premutos is just about as good as you're going to find, not that that's saying much, considering the 90's was the worst period in B-history, (the dark ages) if you will. For more morbid apocalyptic Horror, Burial Ground or Leif Jonker's Darkness should do just fine, although, neither are near as much fun as Premutos. I can't recommend this inept gore-fest enough. 7/10

Kooblie-Gooblie This is one of the goriest movies ever made. it is really low budget and looks amateur sometimes, but it is still really awesome. I have seen this movie many times and I always laugh at the cheesiness, but I love the splatter. There is so much gore in this film, it will shock you. The best thing is that when the film is over, there is actually a counter to show you how many people were killed in the movie. You can tell by that that they weren't taking themselves seriously. It involves demons and archangels and buckets of blood. Any fans of German horror will love it.7 out of 10!

Katatonia Very original Splatterfest gore flick from Germany, clocking in at around 110 minutes in the uncut version. Possibly one of the goriest movies ever made...much more so than 'Dead Alive' or 'Evil Dead'. The plotline is much like 'Night Of The Living Dead' on Acid. Some really bizarre things happen in the script! It has many unique camera angles, some unique scenes and several highly comedic moments.The domestic Shock-O-Rama DVD release however is another story. It markets itself as having an English dubbed version and the original German audio version. The bad thing is, the German version has no English subtitles at all. This is pathetic since it is aimed at the USA market. Additionally it say that the DVD includes a "Full Color Collectible Booklet". Guess what...no booklet in mine, and it was factory sealed.The English audio dub is pretty laughable. It has a few vocal talents such as Brinke Stevens, Ariauna Albright, and J.R. Bookwalter. But it looks like a bad 70's Kung Fu dubbed movie. The sync is horrible, the voices don't even begin to seem credible for the onscreen characters. The sound effects and foley work in the English dub is outright horrible. The stereo effects in the English dub are equally terrible, it would have sounded better in plain Mono sound! If you switch between the German and English audio tracks it becomes even more apparent.The DVD has a vaguely interesting 50 minute "behind the scenes" featurette in German originally, but dubbed into English by one translator speaking for everyone. He pauses a lot during speaking, so i assume he was translating on the moment. I would have much rather just viewed subtitles.Overall, a well made and unique Horror film from Germany. However, unless you speak fluent German the USA issued DVD will make you want to kill the idiot who decided to dub the movie into English!
