“The cover box called this movie u0026#39;Mutantu0026#39; so I knew it wasnu0026#39;t going to be about flower arrangement (good) and it starred Wings Hauser (could be good but then again he could overact mightily) and it was very cheap might be awful) but as it was a wet tuesday I bought it. Much better than I expected.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWings was restrained, Bo Hopkins good as usual and the other cast members fine. The two female leads were particularly good. They all took part in your usual chemicals contaminates town turning folks into murderous zombie type things sort of plot but the photography was atmospheric, the music creepy or emotional as appropriate, the make up scary and it all built up slowly but surely to a suspenseful ending. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe ordinariness of the setting makes it more frightening. It could be happening in the next town to you!”
