The eighties was the time of the slashers and the goreflicks. Germany became know due to Buttgereit and Ittenbach. Buttgereit made some weird ones , Ittenbach the gory ones. This is his first one and appearing himself as the main character. The home made one starts of extreme slow and nothing happens, although the first minute was promising, a child killed by an axe. But when his girlfriend becomes possessed the movie really starts. Olaf had some weird dreams were his girlfriend reappears from the dead, again and again, just like Raimi's Evil Dead. That's where the movie becoming a real gore classic, amounts of blood is flowing, bodies are mutilated, a real mess. So that's why Olaf became a cultdirector, he made a lot of other classics like Burning Moon and House of Blood and of course the real gory one Premutos. A keeper
