Mutant is an entertaining piece of 80s horror starring Lee Montgomery and Wings Hauser (The Young and the Restless) as brothers josh and Mike Cameron on a getaway road trip through the country. All too quickly, the boys receive some fine southern hospitality as they are run off the road by a pack of local rednecks. Misfortune ensues from there on as they are stranded in a small town, get separated, and something generally seems a foul.
Although movie posters and DVD cover art seem to want you to believe this is a creature film featuring some fanged beast hunting people in the dark, the movie falls more into the zombie range. By the end of the film there are hordes of these "mutants" running around terrorizing and devouring the town, school children and all. Although not always the most creative film, it is definitely an entertaining ride full of rednecks, bar fights, toxic waste, and Molotov cocktails. If you are into classic eighties horror give this one a watch, you will find yourself amused. Film review by RJA
