The Psychotronic Man

Surreal, one-of-a-kind viewing experience (with a fantastic 70's style soundtrack). Unfortunately appears to be out-of-print on DVD.

A man discovers that he has psychotronic powers--the ability to will people to die. He begins exercising that power.

The Psychotronic Man is a low budget science fiction cult film that opened in Chicago April 23, 1980 at the Carnegie Theatre. It was directed by Jack M. Sell and written, produced and starred Peter G. Spelson. This film is considered noteworthy for three distinct reasons. The first is that the name "psychotronic" became the generic name for B-grade cult movies. In fact, after seeing the movie once movie critic Michael J. Weldon created an extensive list of reviews of obscure quirky films that he felt were under appreciated by the mainstream and then marketed it as the "Psychotronic Encyclopedia." The existence of the Psychotronic Encyclopedia prompted the creation of the Psychotronic Film Society at which point the term Psychotronic fell into generic use for this type of movie.
