*Mutation

DVD $14.99

From the back cover: “Bone-crunching martial arts combine with heart-pounding horror in this intense sci-fi thriller.

“K” was the most infamous serial killer of his day, torturing and murdering dozens of innocent victims. Until Detective Steve Gornick tracked the maniac down and destroyed him.

Years later, a brilliant young scientist injects K’s corpse with an experimental serum, bringing the killer back to life and giving him superhuman strength and speed.

As K cuts a bloody path through Los Angeles, he begins to mutate into an unstoppable force of evil. Even the detective who once put him down may not be able to destroy the monstrous MUTATION.”

Another low budget horror film. This one is a Frankenstein-type tale in which a doctor brings a notorious serial killer back to life. Predictably the killer goes on a killing spree, there is lots of gore, cursing and bad acting.

This one, unfortunately, doesn’t have any redeeming features; even the “Making of” feature has the feel of “Uncle Joe with his new Xmas camcorder” with poor sound quality and bad lighting. - Stephanie L Bannon
