4.0 out of 5 stars Omega Man Meets Return of the Living Dead, February 1, 2007

By	Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This timeless horror film stars two brothers who run afoul of some hicks on a country highway. With their car stuck they need to hike into the nearest town to get a tow truck. Upon arrival the town seems dead except for a dive bar. Soon they discover a dead body alongside a building and go to the bar to make a phone call. Well the hicks are at the bar and a fight breaks out. Once the police are contacted, the boys don't have a whole lot of credibility especially when there turns out to be no body.

But there are strange things going on in town. Lots of people are sick and only a handful seem to notice just how bad the situation is. But it gets worse. A blood disease seems to kill and spread, turning victims into hungry zombies afraid of the light. They attack the living looking for blood. Well, one of the brothers is missing while the other refuses to leave without finding him. Thus we delve deeply into the horror brewing in the town. The horror escalates until the surprising ending.

This is one of those movies where you have to wonder where it got its title. Mutant is a very inaccurate title. But that aside, this is a good horror film that works. Sure, some of the acting is not as good as it could be but it is good enough. The zombie makeup is interesting and distinctive. There is no mistaking these guys for the living/unaffected. The horror is tied more into ecology than zombie pictures usually are but it was done well. Once things really get going this film just does not let up. Check it out.

4.0 out of 5 stars well made 80's infection horror movie, July 5, 2009

By	Michael P. Dobey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It took me awhile to find the good version of this movie. That's the one from Elite Entertainment. The other versions have prints that aren't very good. So ask before you buy. You only want the Elite version. The Elite version has a good print and sound quality. This movie has some great acting from higher grade actors like Wings Hauser and Bo Hopkins. Sure it's a b movie but it's a very good b movie. Made by seasoned filmmakers; This flick features chemically infected people who are dying but need blood to stay alive at all. They are not zombies but they do behave like mindless hungry infected people. Like many movies of this type a small group of people try to survive in a isolated town against the menace at large. Cell phones were just not available much in the 80's due to their huge costs so this only leads to the feeling that you really had to go get help not call for it. In the world of b movies you have studio quality films and those made way outside of those with true technical experience. This is a upper b movie and was made and shown in theaters; not just in the now long gone midnight movie grindhouse circuit. Those are cool movies too but this was better made than most of them. It is a good watch for fans of 1980's horror movies or zombie like movies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bait and switch., May 9, 2009

By	La Mar R. Binder "spudmonk" (Emmaus, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The movie is decent enough, but it's been out for a long time. The took Wings Hauser off of the advertising, which makes you think it's a different movie. So if you buy it thinking this, you simply get the old movie, in a new wrapper.
