On the back there are three pics.
1 - that doc's assistant as zombie
2- A toothy alien type creature
3- zombie atop the cr late in movie


Did I miss the monster? Or was it ot in the movie.

i just saw the movie and i really liked it. I thought of SLither a bit. But ,yes , there is an alien looking monster in the back. I forgot all about it because the movie was actually entertaining and I love zombie and zombie-like movies. Supposedly it was just a gimmick to compete with Alien video sales!?

this genius copy is actually a great copy of the flick. elite did a bang up job but this one is right up there. quality is good. i saw this as a little kid and it scared the *beep* out of me.

"it would be a privlege if you walked out of here with me."

"i know it would"

Yes I saw this as a kid and had to get it on DVD. Its still very watchable and much better then recent horror films.

Bo and Wings are excellent

ALthough the two that play Holly and Mike still can't act for toffee but I suppose they are only in it as eye candy!

...is from a 1982 film ALSO titled "Mutant", aka "Forbidden World". Some dufus got their movies mixed up!

Put some Pouda on my face, 'cause its made of fried dough!

haha I just bought this DVD the other day and I knew there were two different movies called Mutant, but when I saw the monster I was convinced it was Forbidden World (even though the synopsis on the back was way off). I was apparently wrong and this has to be one of the dumbest mistakes I've ever seen a DVD company make. I figured they just took screenshots from the DVDs to use on the covers, not pictures from the internet that you get from searching "Mutant."

I thought both did just fine. Everyone in this movie was good and it's always going to be one of my favorites.
