I found the Elite DVD at a Convention and snagged it right away. No regrets, definitely worth the extra dough.
Mutant finally looks like a real movie and is much more fun to watch in widescreen

I paid full retail in Norway for the Elite disc, about 40 American Dollars. And I havent regretted the buy once

This Movie The First Time I Saw Was Freakin Awesome I Still Like This Movie

[Lucio Romero]

Hey Everyone,

Ahhhh Mutant, one of my top 20 favorite horror movies. I saw it when I was 8 in 1986, I loved then and I love it now, it scared the hell out of me. If you could put Night Of The Living Dead and Salem's Lot in a blender then you would get Mutant, that's the way I've always looked at it.

The DVD release kind of disappointed me with its lack of extras ( even though I should be grateful it even got a DVD release ), a commentary from Bud Cardos plus some interviews with some of the cast would have been nice but I'm assuming the movie is a red headed stepchild to just about everyone involved in its making.

I picked up some old Fangos recently and only just found out that they expected the film to be a really big hit but it failed miserably at the box office. Still I think it's a wonderful film plus I had a monstrous crush on Jody Medford ( who plays Holly ) for most of my teenage years even though she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.


LUCIO !!!!!!

Grease Guy : Four pounds of grease...that comes to 63 cents.
Homer : Woo Hoo.
Bart : Dad, all that bacon cost 27 dollars.
Homer : Yeah, but your mom payed for that.
Bart : But doesn't she get her money from you.
Homer : And I get my money from grease, what's the problem.

I didn't realize that there was a new DVD of this one. No new features, huh? I had hoped that Dark Sky would do a SE (along with KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS) since they got the director's participation on THE DARK.

I always intend to order this, but it seems to somehow slip my mind whenever I'm shopping.

It's a really cool flick, and I had a mad crush on Lee Montgomery back in the day. Why? Dunno.

Speaking of which... I also really enjoy another of his pictures: The Midnight Hour. That oop DVD is one of my prized possessions! Anybody else remember that made-for-tv gem?

here's a link to the newest dvd of this film

The "new DVD" has actually been out for a couple of years. They even had it to rent at Blockbuster surprisingly.

I have the old Elite DVD release which was 16x9, probably the same transfer.

I have always been a fan of going way back to the Vestron VHS days. I remember seeing a ton of TV spots for it, under the Night Shadows title, but I am pretty sure it never actually came to any theaters or drive-ins near me.
It has a really nice, classy vibe to it that kind of defies the budget...and Wings is awesome as always! I would probably call it one of the best American Zombie movies of the 80s.

I got the Elite disc of Mutant a few years ago in Pittsburgh for under 10 bucks. Great little flick. It's spooky and I'm a huge fan of Wings Hauser who stars in Mutant. I remember Fangoria had it on the cover of one of their early issues in the 80's, but I never had a chance to see it til I bought the DVD. Very glad I did.

Can anyone explain why there is an alien's face with sharp teeth on the cover of this video box? I remember renting this flick as a kid and being disappointed that there were no monsters, only zombies. Maybe I missed something...

With that said, it sounds like it's time to give this another try

[spawningblue]

So is the 2006 Liberation disc the same as the Elite disc quality wise? Also what about the Miracle disc that came out in 2005?
