This movie is so corney
This movie is about a lady that gives birth to a deformed baby that lives with a family of creeps. Later on when the baby grows up to be a "man".... the family must feed the beast to make him happy. A group of friends go off on a camping trip and their camper breaks down and they become stranded in the middle of nowhere and they soon meet up with the weird family and they are invited to stay at their house. The family soon act wierd and become obsessed with owning their camper but first they must kill their visitors. The family is later known to be Satanist even though they are not in any group or cult, they just wear a pentagram. The killings are stupid. The scene of the cops getting involved with the group of friends and then just forgetting even being cops and just go off for fun with these people is silly. The acting is terrible and the movie is very low-budget. The character that keeps saying this is like a horror movie ruins the movie with his one line horror puns and yes, this is like a horror movie. A very BAD horror movie!!!
The inside track on why this movie was made.
OK I figured I would answer the question that most reviewers have asked. Who would make such a masterpiece?- My friend Jim would! Jim was taking an acting class back in the early 90's. He wanted to impress the teacher and offered to back a movie that she wanted to make. So this is what she made with his money. The actors were all classmates in the acting class. I am not sure they actually had a script. I always get a kick out of the South Jersey accent from just about everyone involved even though they are supposed to be in or around Louisiana, or the green screen scenery out the RV window not lining up. The great thing about this movie is that it was never intended to be considered a comedy. It is just so bad that it fits into that category. Is it scary? Heck no! Is it entertaining? Yes! Saying this is even a B movie is probably a stretch. It is so bad it's good. Watch it with your friends so you can all make fun of how bad it is. You will be entertained and you will not soon forget "Mutant Man". If you can find this movie & would like some good mindless entertainment, watch it! If anything you will have a baseline to judge all other movies by.

It is so bad it's good!
First of all, i think I can't put an objective mark on this, as i was watching this movie almost every day when i was a kid. I like it! Of course its low quality, low budget, poor acting, but its definitely not the worst movie i have seen, i like the atmosphere. Just one thing, i was surprised this one came out in 1996, i though its from 80s...
Don't waste your time
This movie caused me to begin writing reviews. I have watched literally hundreds if not thousands of horror films and this is by far one of the worst. Starting with the poor green screen FX during the driving sequence down to the bleached white "Rotting Monster" teeth I knew I was going to have to fast forward through this bore. There is nothing in this movie that is considered acting and the director really should have told the "Mutant Man" (well that is if a gray nappy wig would constitute "Mutant") that growling the whole film really isn't creepy, but rather annoying. The only redeeming factor involved in this entry in the horror genre is its decent blood effects. I was impressed with some wounds/deaths, but otherwise, I should have dusted my house instead.
dreadful movie
This movie is absolutely dreadful. I rented it the other day because the boxcover looked pretty good. When I started to watch it, I couldn't believe it. Who in God's name could make a movie this bad? The acting was atrocious. The directing horrible and the writing beyond belief.

very bad
I watch upwards of 100 movies a year in my job, many of which are straight to video releases. Mutant Man is one of a half dozen or so movies that I have seen in the last year that defies all logic. This is an absolute abomination of a movie. It makes no sense at all. As the other user comments ask, how in God's name did this movie get made.

the worst movie
I have seen many, many bad movies, but this is the worst. The acting was bad, the directing was even worse, and the script was unintelligible. I have one question. How do movies this bad get made? Who the heck would ever make a movie this bad?

So bad you may enjoy yourself
People never rent this kind of movie to sit and analyze it as if there were anything artist going on. It ain't Hitchcock, it's an independent no-budget mindless grade-Z Horror film. People watch this kind of thing to have fun, and I certainly did. Yes, it is crap. Yes, it is poorly made. No, there is no story. Yes, the acting is abominable. No, there's nothing redeemable about it. But if you got a bunch of friends together, late at night, maybe downed a couple six-packs, you'd laugh yourselves sick. It is among the worst, the least frightening, the most embarrassing, the least logical, the most juvenile, the least-literate, and stupidest movies I've ever seen, but I had more fun and laughed harder during this than the last half-dozen flicks by the Zucker Brothers. Yes, it's bad. . .but almost in a good way.
Very dull movie.
Well...If you want to waste your time, please, watch this movie. I've never seen such bad and foolish movie before. Terrible director's work. Terrible actors play. Everything is terrible. But maybe the children will like this one? Or maybe not. I think it's too primitive even for children.

"Do You Guys Smell That?!"...
MUTANT MAN is about a vanload of human prey that breaks down in the proverbial middle of nowhere. Luckily, an anthropophagic hillbilly family offers them a place to spend the night. Our heroes have no idea that their hosts are no ordinary hicks. They have a convenient torture chamber in the basement, and a hulking mutant brother with hideously foul dental hygiene. He also growls a lot and wears my mother's old 1970's wig.
Have no fear, the victims are so annoying that it's a relief when they become mutant chow.
This is your basic, supremely dull slaughter fest with typically crazy inbreds carvin' up the tourists (think: WRONG TURN meets MOTHER'S DAY). There's plenty of blood, nudity, robot-style "acting", and excruciating attempts at "humor".
DARE: Just try to stay awake until the end...
