Summary: ENJOYABLE ZOMBIE FILM!
Review: I watched this DVD expecting just another awful 80's b-grade monster movie...but I was wrong! MUTANT turned out to be an above average killer zombie flick. Sure, it contains all of the same cliches that have been in every zombie movie since NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, but it also has fresh ideas (like the zombies having acidic hands that can eat through car windows!). The cast (including Wings Hauser & Bo Hopkins) does a decent job with the material. Best of all, the greusome special effects are well-done and plentiful. My only complaints are that the movie is presented full-frame (not widescreen) and that the picture quality is not as good as it should have been. But, that aside MUTANT is worth a look!

Summary: A total surprise. I Loved It!
Review: Whatever you do, do not be fooled by the title like I was. I bought this movie expecting it to be a cheap Roger Corman like mutant monster movie. It's not. Mutant actually is more like a thinly disquised zombie film with zombie movie story elements and clinches abound. My two favorite horror movies of all time are Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, and Mutant very much resembles Night with survivors in a small town trying to escape hords of zombies before the fall as their next victems. Some scenes are filmed a little too dark, consealing the scary monster makeup, but that's forgivable. Mutant actually turned out to be a very scary film that will please fans of zombie films such as Night of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead, and definatly deserves more attention than it gets. They really should release Mutant under its alternate title Night Shadows to clear the confusion on what the film is about.

Summary: A less known classic for zombie fans!
Review: Zombie flicks have been my favorite movies ever since I saw "Night of the Living Dead" on Creature Features as a kid. Since then I've searched for other cool zombie flicks to see, like many other people have done. Well "Mutant" is one of those cool gems that has quiety slipped past people. I actually saw it the same day I saw "Day of the Dead" (one of my favorites) and still thought it was really good. The story takes a while to unfold but the pay off is sweet zombie action! For any fan of the zombie genre that hasn't seen "Mutant" do yourself a favor and buy this movie. It's worthy!
