The quick pitch: An otherwise unremarkable barber goes for a long (very long) drive, has some sort of nightmare, and mysteriously develops psychotronic powers that give him the ability to kill people with his mind. The police aren’t too happy when the bodies start piling-up, leading to one of the longest, dullest chases in screen history.
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched a movie quite as bad as The Psychotronic Man. I don’t hand out the dreaded “1” rating like candy. You have to earn it. But this one is a real stinker. As I’ve already alluded to, it’s as dull as watching paint dry. Oh my God, I would have given just about anything for something to happen. I must have fallen asleep, woken up, and rewinded this abysmal film at least a half-dozen times. But what do you expect from a movie whose runtime (and I can’t be bothered looking up the exact runtime) is filled with “exciting” things like watching a car drive slowly down a road, watching a doctor read papers and make notes, watching really bad dancing, or watching that damnable final chase that goes on forever. These events take up at least ¾ of the movie - I’m not exaggerating. Anyone who says they like this excruciating mess as more patience than I.
A deserved 1/10 from me.
1/10
