HumanoidOfFlesh Warren is a socially inept and very shy young librarian who is highly susceptible to self-help manuals.While pouring over one such book he discovers that by expanding his mind he can control his environment and the actions of other people.Disturbed by his changing personality his co-worker Larry and his room mate Brad attempt to help but instead become the objects of his wrath.Eventually Warren loses control.His overtaxed brain turns into a monster and bursts from his skull.The horribly mutant brain-creature takes on a life of it's own."Mind Killer" is an enjoyable horror trash with terrible acting and extremely bad creature effects.The central character of introverted Warren is an interesting touch.This movie is cheaply made and has that real cheap feel to it,but I have seen worse and more boring horror films.5 out of 10.

Tikkin I was excited when I found a VHS copy of this recently as the cover art is quite cool. But as usual with 80's horror flicks, a cool cover is usually to disguise a crap film. Mind Killer is no exception, but is even more boring than some of the worst 80's horror flicks! The opening looks interesting but after this it all gets dull and tedious. I nearly fell asleep, so I turned it off and watched the ending the next day. There's a little bit of cheesy action at the end, where the brain breaks free from the mans body. However it's far too late to save this mess. It reminded me of the ending to Slime City actually. The acting is bad and the whole film has a cheap feel, but not in a good way. Avoid this unless you like cool VHS covers.

FieCrier I liked the premise, but the movie is really very bad.The movie starts off with a woman approaching a door with some sort of monster or mutated human being behind it. Who that might be and how this scene relates to what follows doesn't become apparent for some time.A librarian who has no luck with women is devoted to self-help books and videos, though they do him no good. He discovers a manuscript by a deceased local author that gives him psychic powers after he finishes reading it in one go. He becomes manipulative, and he starts losing his hair.The movie is pretty uneventful until towards the end when the effects of the manuscript have really taken hold. It's not worth watching.

ccmackin I really like bad movies. In fact, I'd prefer a bad movie over what most consider a "good" movie any day. However, in the case of "Mind Killer", there really aren't any elements to make this a bad movie in a good way. Nope. It just really sucks--in a bad way. Mind Killer, aka The Brain Creatures, concerns a young man who just can't seem to get any pudding from the ladies, whether it be at work, in the local pub, or anywhere else. It seems that his main frustrations involve his life-long dry spell. Seriously, if I had to think of one reason to watch this movie, it would have to be to see how much of a turd a man can become. The lead actor in this movie, Joe McDonald (I think), is total sack. And I have a feeling it isn't his acting skills that portray such sackdom. He's been in one other movie titled "Why I Hate Italians".Anyway, he really falls for this woman at his job (he's a library clerk). The thing is, she's pretty ugly. No, make that really ugly. But, she is supposed to be hot, so suspend your disbelief. Oh yeah, also suspend your desbelief when our hero finds an ancient book in the basement of the library and learns mind powers. Soon after, he's making candy bars fly out of vending machines! Wow! He also gets the girl he wants, and although she can't help herself, she knows something is up. Eventually, he wigs out and turns into some creature, which is nothing more than a mask that the studio bought from the "expensive" selection at the mask hut in the mall during Halloween season. I think he dies. Normally I wouldn't spoil an ending like that, but there is no way anyone is ever going to read this or actually find this movie. The movie itself looks like a home video a high-school kid made for a project, since the best special effect in the whole film is the candy bar thing I mentioned above. I have this movie on tape somewhere. I taped it on accident many years ago. I guess some day I'll look for it so I can throw it at someone.
