Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead (1997)

Some early Olaf Ittenbach shouldn't disappoint if you're into low-budget splatter insanity. "Premutos" is much gorier than his other '97 flick, "The Burning Moon" (though that infamous Hell scene fucking rules!...) and because of that, it's a fun watch.

Via voice-over narration, we get some details on a fallen angel - not unlike Lucifer - whose son has existed throughout various points in history in order to make way for this new God's imminent take-over. In present day Germany, a teenage boy ends up transforming into the demon offspring during his father's birthday party - setting off an undead army.

There's no shortage of gut-munching and heads exploding from excessive fire-power - at one point involving a tank. The premise is pretty ambitious and involved, considering that the film becomes more or less your average zombie-survival fallout. It works, though. Still, you just can't go wrong with such wall-to-wall bloodshed. The effects are good for such an obvious shoe-string budget and it stays consistently entertaining. Definitely along the lines of "Braindead". Check it out.
