The Mutations

A low-budget 1974 British-American sci-fi/horror film, The Mutations follows Professor Nolter (Donald Pleasence), a deranged genetic scientist, as he crosses plants with people, creating mutated freaks that are exploited by a cruel circus freak show owner, Mr. Lynch (Tom Baker). The film features pseudo-scientific jargon, stop motion visuals, and a dissonant orchestral score, but is criticized for its predictable story and "grotesque elements and characters".
