Mutant! (1984 Film)

Tonight’s video probably isn’t a great choice for a lousy Wednesday, but I’m so tickled that it’s on YouTube:

This one was suggested by Justin P., aka CosmicSparky. It’s MUTANT, the 1984 film that I assume only a small percentage of you have heard of.

I’ll let Justin describe the treasure:

“A woefully unappreciated horror flick about road-tripping brothers — one played by the wonderful Wings Hauser — who stumble into a small town with a monster problem. Local pollution is turning residents into bloodthirsty mutants, and Wings must team up with the sheriff, Bo Hopkins, to make things right again. The pair would later star in an unofficial action-centric remake called Nightmare at Noon.”

Mutant isn’t one of those movies you can pick up on the fly and immediately embrace. (Well, it isn’t for most people, at least.) You gotta be in the right “rainy Sunday, I ain’t moving” kinda mood. Save it for when you are!
