Nonureva Really Surprised!
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Shite Night The movie takes place in a dystopian world after the "space shuttle sex murders", which is never quite explained, but I believe it sets up this movie for an incredible prequel. A scientist and a woman that looks like Cher have evil cyborg mutants that they get high. The mutant cyborgs are all dressed like they're member's of Devo and pretty much attack everybody they find on the street for what seems to be no reason at all. The movie comes to an exiting climax when they develop a cyborg that looks like a mummy and send it to fight a couple of guys on a bridge. This is probably the best release from wizard video...For a full review check out the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnT6V-froZg
udar55 Some claim this is a BLADE RUNNER ripoff but I know the truth. In the distant future, failed filmmaker Ridley Scott built a time machine and decided to go back in time to film MUTANT HUNT, what many in this future consider the greatest film of all-time, before it is actually made. His plan worked and BLADE RUNNER hit in 82 while MUTANT HUNT's legacy was muted because it was seen a ripoff.Seriously, what can one say about this classic? It is indicative of a cinematic time long gone, the era of cheapo sci-fi flicks shot in abandoned warehouses (the future!) on a 5-day shooting schedule (see also: Ray, Fred Olen). I'm glad to know that in the future cyborgs will be modeled after the band Devo. Tim Kincaid directs this as flatly as possible. I love the fight in Riker's apartment where the girls just sit and stand there. I also love the bit where the robot begins to severe its left hand. When the filmmakers cut to the hand hanging in the cuff, it is a right hand! And who can ever forget the couple making out in the alley? Awesome. To the film's credit, Ed French's cyborg puppet head is pretty impressive and actually emotes better than 3/4 of the cast. After watching this 75 minute insanity fest, the only natural thing to ask is, "What Kincaid film should I watch next?"
EyeAskance Presented by Tim Kincaid, a pornographer and director of the anticlassic ROBOT HOLOCAUST, so be ready for sub-zero quality garbage without any production values. In this story, a number of cyborgs have been introduced to some sort of narcotic which turns them into unstoppable machines of destruction. Our hero, Ryker(a name obviously selected from the nomenclature of action heroes and gay porn actors), must hunt them down before they wreck every cheap Styrofoam and cardboard prop in their path. This flick borrows many ideas from BLADE RUNNER, but don't even attempt quality comparisons...this is easily among the weakest sci-fi efforts of the 1980s(even though ROBOT HOLOCAUST is, in fact, worse, improvements made in this mess are as observable as a contact lens dropped in the middle of the Altlantic Ocean). Cosmically bad in every direction, therefor recommended to masochistic types. 3/10
el_monzo Gee, where to start... Well, first, this movie is awful. From the very start, it is apparent that what is about to follow is going to be a true offence on the viewers intelligence. From the cheesy music to the horrendously bad acting, it is amazing that the film ever got made. Its main protagonist is the character Matt Riker, a mercenary for hire. The actor playing him ( of who's name I thankfully can't recall) is easily the worst actor I've ever seen. At many points you can see him reading his lines off a card behind the camera, and what's worse, for the whole first ten minutes of the movie, he gets around only in a bad pair of white underpants. The story follows a bunch of cyborgs, who due to a heavy intake of some drug, go insane and start killing people for pleasure (obviously). The cyborgs themselves are just a bunch of terribly stiff beefcakes in gymsuits, and are as convincing as they are menacing (ie not at all). Matt Riker and his band of comrades must track them down and destroy them, before they kill again. The continuity is appaling, the cheesy 80's synthesized keyboard music stinks, every actor is a joke, and the story fails to impress. In short, the whole package is a complete dud. I heartily recommend checking this one out if not merely for a glimpse of what I believe is possibly the worst movie ever made.
