Quick Synopsis

A lonely library clerk discovers a mysterious manuscript that gives him psychic abilities and makes him irresistible to women. But his newfound powers soon spiral out of control and begin manifesting in his friends as well.

Quick Review

Mindkiller takes a loooooooong time to get going, like 2/3 of the movie, BUT, if you can make it through the 2/3 slog, you will indeed be treated to some fantastic practical creature effects and gnarly happenings.  It almost feels like a random episode of Freddy’s Nightmares, both surreal and, at times, intense, that is, if you can hear what anybody is saying at any given time.  If you like Henenlotter movies with absurd body horror, you will dig this one.
