Director
Jackie Kong, who later made the cult favorite
Blood Diner (1987), directed this terrible
monster movie for
exploitation pioneer
Bill Osco, who stars under the pseudonym "
Rexx Coltrane." The plot concerns a mutant child who has become a monster after being exposed to toxic waste in a small Idaho town.
Mortimer (
Osco) wants to investigate a series of disappearances, only to have his efforts stymied by the town's mayor (
José Ferrer), who is worried about the potential economic impact on the local potato industry. This abysmal
horror film was made in 1980 and shelved for three years despite a cast which includes Oscar winners
Ferrer and
Dorothy Malone,
Martin Landau, and
Kinky Friedman. Other featured performers are
Ruth Buzzi,
Murray Langston ("
The Unknown Comic"), and
Kenny Rogers' wife (at the time),
Marianne Gordon.
