Mutilations (1986)
8/10
Just keep repeating- it's only a bad movie...
18 April 2003
Any faithful aficionado of truly bad film should find MUTILATIONS to be a near "Crown Jewel" that surpasses the vacuously mind-numbing dreck passed off as "bad film", raises the bar on too-bad-to-be-true production values though it's mind-warping psycho-nuttiness makes a case for itself. A simplistic masterpiece of ultra-low budgetry gone wild with creativity. When an astronomy professor and his students go on a field trip to investigate a possible meteor landing and reports of cattle mutilations in the same area, they find more than what they expected. Before they even make it to the suspected site, they are greeted with a near-skeletal, but still living, cow and an unfriendly space craft. Does this stop them? Noooo! They follow the leads to the home of a reclusive religious freak who babbles on about the end of the world and hideous monsters from space coming to Earth. Armageddon strikes, for this old coot anyway, shortly after when the alien space craft makes a landing in his living room!

The rest of the film is filled with the professor and his students battling the hilariously bad giant aliens. Kudos to the FX though, the aliens are both inventively done and disturbingly entertaining. This is no STAR WARS, but if you enjoy an over-the-top low budget mind blower this flick just may be your ticket to the loony bin!
