Mutant movie trailer (Night Shadows)

This is the theatrical trailer for a surprisingly enjoyable, and sadly overlooked, 80s zombie film I picked up in a DVD bargain bin for £1.00!! A pretty good deal for a good, silly slab of forgotten culty weirdness, methinks.

Glad you guys liked it. I was one of the original writers. Didn't think many folks remembered this after so long --

That's awesome! Am I right in thinking the movie has fallen into the public domain? It's just that I notice that there seems to be so many different versions all released by obscure budget distributors. Kinda sucks for those involved if that is the case.

Ed Montoro, who was the head of Film Ventures International, disappeared with the company's funds not long after the movie was released. The company was then sold to a TV distributor, and I'm not sure what happened to it after that. I don't think the movie is in PD, though I could be wrong. I haven't had any contact with them for a LONG time ---

So you don't get residuals or anything on it? That's blows, man. Well, nonetheless, thanks for bringing this movie to the screen. This was one of the first horror films I saw on late night TV when I was a kid and I loved it. Never looked back. I now write horror screenplays myself. So yeah, thanks for inspiring me. :)

Looks fine to me. I loved horror films all my life, but the new ones.... Am I getting old on this kind of movies or they can´t make me believe in their stories? More gore, more violence, more effects, more speed, but I am boring most of the time.

I agree with you, I think sometimes modern horror movies try to be so fast-paced and action-packed that it doesn't give you time to actually make real characters that you care about. A decapitation isn't really horrifying unless you actually care about the character that's being bumped off.

I've uploaded this movie with running commentary from my friend and I as we watched it for the first time. Check it out if you want some funnies.

0:51 It's not an official Zombie movie if hands don't come busting through a window to grab you. LOL.

Just picked this one up on a budget label, its as good as I remember it. Can't help but wonder if the producers of the 2010 remake of the Crazies borrorwed a few ideas from this to try and distance themselves from Romeros film.

A very underated and extremely enjoyable pic!

do you remember your address? I was in "Downtown" on night to see some of the movie being filmed. Lots of fog machines!.......and fire! It was totally cool! I was around 11 years old at the time. I will never forget that night.

An underrated low budget classic from the 80's. I have an ex rental of this on video which was relesed on EIV.

Can anyone tell me was this filmed in ATLANTA? (Might seem obvious with the deep south accents)

By the way avoid the totally unconnected sequel MUTANT 2 ( Alien predator) I have this one too.

omg Soooooooo Abysmal!!!!
