Nuclear Mutant

What a rare find this is! A newspaper reporter goes to a nuclear power plant only to get dumped into a pool of contaminated radioactive waste by sleazy executive ^~$holes. He becomes an ugly flesh-faced innocent...reporter...who looks like Freddy Krueger and trying to convince his girlfriend Richelle that's he's him! He has a unique way to kill...with his face! (???) That's right, another independent film by a nut who copied off certain movies to make a lame-brained spoof of horror movies we have all grown to love. And there's much more to describe the horrifically bad taste. One can't fully understand the awful acting and dumb dialogue as well as the plain colored sets along with the shades and hues of blue. As trying to be hilarious, it's willing to be boring. The character Richelle does a decent job at acting in despair and grief up to the bitter end, and the print looks nice, but what's the meaning of R. OF THE R. R.? Virtually none! It's meaningless in all entirety! Rare movies like this are worth a look, including a bizarre skateboard-psycho network movie I saw called SHREDDER ORPHEUS, but if you're planning on forking tons of dough over that hard-to-find movie, seek financial help. Don't complain about getting cheated over it if you had already spent your hard-earned $80 worth!

This is quite possibly the worst movie ever made. I was up late last night watching movies and came across this piece of filth. This movie is like a train wreck, you just can't look away but are also disgusted at the same time. The actors are horrible! The little brother in the movie apparently grew up to write Cabin Fever, he should stick to writing and away from acting. The fact that this was missed by the Razzies is truly sad. I don't mind a cheesy movie, I was a big fan the Toxic Avenger flick, but this is just a horrible knockoff. This movie should be banned. I had to sleep on it before I could sit down the truly remark on this movie. Now that I am cooled off, I can objectivly state that this very well may be the worst movie ever. Even worse than Rollerball.

Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I saw it announced in the TV Guide so I taped it and I found out just how bad it was. Unless you're making a Movie Cheesefest, don't watch this (if you can FIND the movie)!

This movie is so cheap I can't believe the Canadian government gave a subvention to these people to make such a lame picture.

The script is poor. Predictable, cheesy, boring, and the jokes are not even funny. It's a about a reporter who finds out that the local nuclear power plant board of directors is poisoning the environment, and he threatens to reveal their little evil conspiracy to the media, but before he does, the evil director throws him in a pool of radioactive waste. But miraculously, he survives and becomes a superhuman being with radioactive powers, killing the power plant's employees one by one. Seen that before.

The actors are the worst it can possibly get. I'm glad it was the only movie Kathryn Boese (Richelle) was into, because I honestly never saw a worst actress. Randy Pearlstein also doesn't deliver, proving that he has no experience in acting.

If you look closely during the movie, you can see some Dollar Store props, like the foot left behind when Tony Trouble gets eaten up by the giant monkey (yes you heard me right). It just shows you how bad this movie is.

So basically, everything about this movie, the script, the actors, the plot, the sets, the props, the cinematography, the music, sucked. It should be shown at movie schools for people never to make something that bad again.

The Master T Score: 1/2 out of 5 Stars (for entertainment)

After being thrown in a pool of toxic waste the reporter named Mike Wave mutates into radioactive creature hellbent on getting revenge."Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter" by Craig Pryce is an extremely cheesy horror spoof which won Best Independent Theatrical Feature at the 1990 Houston Film Festival.The film was released in almost exactly the same year as Sam Raimi's more serious "Darkman".There is plenty of cheese in "Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter" plus some crude sexual jokes.The plot is extremely silly and the image of Mike urinating radioactive waste into the woman's bathtub is simply unforgettable.If you are into Troma's movies give this trashy junk a look.6 reporters out of 10.The film was shot in Toronto.

What did the leper say to the prostitute? You can keep the tip! This is just one example of a stupid but unresistingly funny little joke that features in "Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter"; a pleasant little amateur horror discovery made by genre fanatics for genre fanatics. Actually, this is perhaps one enthusiast zero-budgeted amateur movie that deserves a little more attention and support, because the ideas and horror knowledge of the people who made this are remarkable and profound. Also the dialogs and cheesy magnified clichéd are bulls eye and quite frankly I don't understand why my fellow reviewers are so negative minded about this film. A young and ambitious journalist, who just proposed to his girlfriend in the most imaginative way I've ever seen, wants to gain fame and reputation by bringing to the surface the malpractices of a local nuclear power plant. Because of their illegal dumping of toxic waste in the water, dozens of people in the area developed terminal cancer. The diabolical board of directors unanimously vote to eliminate the reporter, but he survives the nose dive into a tank of bright green goo and returns as the … Radioactive Reporter, duh! And it will be quite easy for him to get his revenge, because the same people who tried to kill him are now after his fiancée because she might know too much. The radioactive dude quickly adapts to his condition and learns to love killing his foes by the mere touch of his deformed hand or acid saliva. "Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter is quite ingenious and well-written. There's a fairly original detail, for example, that our hero regularly has to the tank of radioactive waste for a dip in order to survive. His methods of murder are fresh and inventive as well. He kills a vainglorious woman by urinating in her bathtub and turning it into a acid hot Jacuzzi. Especially with his journalist's hat on, our anti-hero even looks quite a bit like Freddy Krueger. There's also a downright hilarious scene where he tries to write a letter to his fiancée, but he doesn't get past writing: "Dear Richelle … How can I explain …" and then he has to start over because a piece of gooey and smoking skin fell on the paper. Fun stuff!
