Mind Killer

About This Movie

Mind Killer (1987) dives into the eerie intersection of loneliness and power. The film's tone is thick with dread, as our library clerk protagonist morphs from an unassuming bookworm to a dangerously charming figure. The pacing has this odd, jarring rhythm that sometimes feels like the story is tripping over its own ambition. Practical effects are present, but they don't overshadow the peculiar atmosphere—there’s something unsettling about the way the psychic powers manifest, notably in his friends. The performances range from earnest to a touch melodramatic, which adds to the film’s distinct vibe. It's that blend of horror and sci-fi with a pinch of dark humor that keeps you on the edge. Not a typical genre piece, definitely has its quirks.
