Many if not all are veteran thespians, one of the main reasons this reviewer wanted to do a review.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I have no problem giving Director Nite\u2019s flick a Whaco-5-Slapstick-the-WORD Rating because it\u2019s slapstick gory, slapstick goofy, slapstick giddy, slapstick slapstick-y. Let&#8217;s not forget slapstick derring-do, as in daring to do a movie like this and having the panache to say it&#8217;s going to be a hit.<\/p>\n<p>I did not found it funny though there are scenes that produced smirks and smiles and there were other reviewers who thought it had funny moments. I did not find it <span class=\"yKMVIe\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"1\">prurient sexually though there are Zzz scenes of women naked from the waist up. It&#8217;s a hit in Indonesia. <\/span>THE OMICRON KILLER is not rated by the MMPA.
