MINDKILLER
As bad as finding out that John Tesh is your father


The first half of this movie is so bad, I was certain it was destined to expand the bottom of my barrel to seventeen films. The second half, however, elevates it slightly above the bottomscrapers, with a chuckle or two and even a creepy moment. But make no mistake, this movie sucks massively. Even finding out that John Tesh is your father has its upside when he's mercifully euthanized and leaves his fortune to you. 

Some guy you've never heard of stars as Warren, a library clerk with no luck with the ladies. To remedy this situation, he develops psychic powers that make him irresistible to women. He obviously didn't think ahead, though, since he failed to develop any psychic powers that make women worth dating.(sorry, ladies.  But would you date one?  Didn't think so.) Soon enough his powers go out of control, he loses his hair, his friends start manifesting the powers, and all crap breaks loose. 

Nothing special here, although like I said, the second half has a couple of good moments. Awful pop soundtrack by bands with names like Jinx Jones and Computer Class, by the way. 

Filmed in Denver, making me breathe a sigh of relief after thinking that it was Canadian (how else would you explain the big Canadian flag on the wall of our heroes' apartment?). Unbelievably bad tagline that I can't decide is so-bad-it's-good or just plain bad: "WARREN'S BRAIN IS OUT OF HIS MIND!"
