Death Powder

About This Movie

Death Powder is one of those oddities from the mid-'80s that makes you wonder how it ever got made. The film's direction is pretty obscure, which adds to its enigmatic vibe. It dives deep into horror and sci-fi, blending them in a way that feels almost experimental. The pacing can be a bit erratic, but it contributes to that unsettling atmosphere—like you’re drifting through a fever dream. Those practical effects? They’ve got a gritty charm that really pulls you into the twisted world created by the android and its bizarre substance. The performances have that raw, unrefined quality, which fits the themes of paranoia and existential dread perfectly. Definitely one to watch with fellow collectors who appreciate the strange side of cinema.
