Watch Mutants For Free

One of my all time favorites.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Naturally, there are so many horror movies released each year that it's difficult to see them all. Subsequently, some great horror films have, and continue to, slip under the radar. Mutants is one of such movies. The breathtaking French countryside that serves as a background to a deadly virus that spreads through France, that turns its unfortunate victims into unstoppable flesh-eating mutants, but unlike other Zombie movies, it differs, in that it offers its victims the cruelty of hope - a long, slow and painful transformation (that can only be truly compared to that of I Zombie: The Chronicles of Pain and The Fly) to full-blown mutant, by means of loss of biological functions and decay - in the most terrible of ways.The story centres around a deadly and terrifying infection that has transformed the majority of people into raging mutants. Marco (played by Francis Renaud) and Sonia (played by Hélène de Fougerolles) - (who both give wonderful performances) are a young couple, Sonia, is a medical professional and Marco is a paramedic, who are both escaping the monsters and trying to fight their way to a military base. Marco himself becomes infected in an attack, leaving the pregnant Sonia, who must defend herself against one of these mutants - who is also the man she loves. She feels that Marco can be saved and she truly believes that she can cure him of the infection. She is fighting against time...Mutants is claustrophobic, atmospheric and has tons of gore and blood, often disturbing and sickening, with scary looking mutants - but what do you expect from a Zombie flick? There is more to this movie than just blood and gore. The cinematography is stunning. For all its action packed sequences, reminiscent of The Walking Dead, this is effectively a love story, wrapped in a morality tale, inside an Zombie movie. It does, however, share similarities with other movies in this sub- genre, namely, Day of the Dead and 28 Days Later. That being said, it is fairly unique to the other movies, in that, it is psychological in nature, ultimately it is a unique inclusion, to an exhausted sub- genre. It certainly makes my Top Ten Zombie movies!

Sonia (a nurse/doctor) and her husband Marco have survived a mutation outbreak and are now on the run. Finding a place to take refuge, Marco gets infected with some contaminated blood, and is desperate to find a cue. As the infection takes days to mutate, Sonia is in a desperate race against time to help the love of her life, and ultimately face up to the possibility that she may lose him.We have all had our fair share of standard Zombie/Infected films. Everybody seems to want to be the next George A. Romero, and unfortunately its a case of "seen one, seen them all". Then comes along David Morlet's "Mutants". A film about an apocalyptic outbreak, with plenty of flesh eating mutants, but this film serves so much more of a purpose than others that have come before it. To me, the story of the apocalypse was a side story, as the real focus was on the controversial use of "Euthanasia" ... such a debate has been raging over this topic, and the subtle way that David Morlet uses this topic, was superb. Is it OK to end the life of someone who has no more quality in theirs? Is it OK to put someone to sleep, forever? The question is constantly asked throughout the duration of the film, and shows the impact and heartbreak that even the thought can produce. The fact that this infection takes days to mutate and not instant, gives the viewer a false sense of a positive outcome. It shows that sometimes hope can be cruel, and we go along with the two characters, as things just go from bad to worse. Combining this strong psychological element with superb, isolated, cinematography, a strong soundtrack, above average acting, with gore and blood to add, this movie stands out as a very unique addition, to a very tired sub genre. Highly impressive!

I'm gonna call this a good zombie film. Yes, it's a virus but the results are the pretty much the same, sick people who wanna eat ya. Lots of blood in this film but what makes it special is the romance. Marco has neither looks nor personality but his gal stands by him (almost) to the end. It's a gross, fun film with lots of snow (if ya like snow you're gonna love this movie) and I found it highly entertaining. Great art? No. Much fun? Yes.Now, if you love snow but want more than just entertainment, if ya want a little art, Let The Right One In, is a must see film. Some blood, romance too and a great take on Renfield.

It's not that Mutants is the goriest thing I've ever seen (though it is pretty damn gory), it's just that it is so consistently gory, without pause, with thick, syrupy blood constantly splashing around in just about every frame of it, with no humor or character development or even conversation for that matter, that it just left me dizzy and queasy. It's so relentlessly gory that it's hard to even be scared by the things jumping out at you while you're still recovering from gagging and grimacing. The lighting is well done; the entire movie seems to appear through a light blue filter. I want to say that the acting is good but there isn't much acting beyond crazed zombies akin to those from 28 Days Later flailing around aimlessly and biting and eating human flesh, and screaming and running and fighting and some arguing. The notion of the relationship between the woman and her infected man gives this a new spin but otherwise this is just a pile of bits and pieces taken from other zombie apocalypse movies piled together into 90 minutes of blood splatter.
