Just when you thought Germany's underground splatter scene had run its course, a gem like Mutation comes along and reminds you that there are still a lot of sick, twisted people out there with the ability to make quality, fun horror.
This film, while far from perfect, is a riotous romp filled with exploding heads, disembowelings, and mutated humans going berserk on the populace. The effects range from absolutely stunning to pretty bad, but nine times out of ten, you're left shocked and appalled - exactly what this kind of film should leave you doing.
The plot is simple. A chemical created by Nazi experimentation is discovered in modern-day Germany. Once released, it causes all sorts of horrific bloodshed, mutation, and madness. People try to find a way to survive, but most end up as piles of pulsating guts by the time the end credits roll.
The acting is, at times, amateur, but with a production like this, its expected. If you're looking for a wonderful throwback to the heyday of German underground splatter, look no further than Mutation!
