Synopsis

"K" was the most infamous serial killer of his day, torturing and murdering dozens of innocent victims. Until Detective Steve Gornick, tracked the maniac down and destroyed him. Years later, a brilliant young scientist injects K's corpse with an experimental serum, bringing the killer back to life and giving him superhuman strength and speed. As K cuts a bloody path through Los Angeles, he begins to mutate into an unstoppable force of evil. Even the detective who once put him down may not be able to destroy the monstrous MUTATION.

Having made a few myself, I have a bit of a soft spot for no-budget video films with that “cable access TV” look. There’s something endearing about a truly ambitious movie shot in a weekend with a group of friends and little but ingenuity and desire to take the place of funding and technical proficiency. In Razor Digital’s new action-horror release MUTATION, the body of one of the nation’s most infamous serial killers is accidentally taken out of cryogenic suspension and used to test a new serum which restores life to dead tissue.
