3.0 out of 5 stars A Fatal Paranoia, May 23, 1999

This review is from: Outer Limits: Mutant [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Here is a neat little Outer Limits episode concerning a colony of Earth scientists on another planet where things have gone terribly wrong. Warren Oates plays botanist Reese Fowler who is accidentally caught in a rain of radioactive isotopes which turns him into a bug-eyed mutant who never sleeps, reads minds and can kill with only his thoughts. His condition drives him insane and he torments his crewmen into remaining on the planet to keep him company. This is an example of how sometimes The Outer Limits could make an exciting episode on a shoestring budget by just concentrating on the mood of the piece. The Mutant induces a real feeling of paranoia and claustrophobia and has a wonderfully disturbing effect upon the viewer. Recommended!

This is the only episode of The Outer Limits that I have seen. This episode was entertaining and interesting. Despite me being 18, I still like watching black and white episodes and movies. I don't know if this is one of the weaker episodes of The Outer Limits like another reviewer said, but I enjoyed this episode very much.

I first saw this episode in syndication (on a future UPN-50 station) before "The Avengers", in the early-'70s, as a little boy. It scared me. It was a perfect example of "Can't Bear to Look, but Can't Look Away"-kind of thing. This is the inspiration of my future episode-issue of "Dementia-12" comic-book, "Life Sentence, Without Parole".

Perfect paranoia/intense-fear-instilled episode where a space expedition scientist gets caught in a radioactive downpour and becomes MUTATED --having no hair and huge, "Jack Kirby-esque" bug-eyes-- blames the other expedition scientists for his misfortune & threatens them with his ability to mind-read & "kill with a touch" of his bare hands --of which they become scattered atoms. I appreciate this episode more now, but I'm still too "chicken" to own it. Oh, by the way, you other folks out there may recognize Warren Oates as "Sgt. Hulka --the Big Toe" from "Stripes".
