THE OMICRON KILLER now digitally available on Fandango at Home.
A copycat serial killer commits murder on the anniversary of the death of the original killer and decides to stop killing. Why? Who knows!?!?! He is subsequently mugged and hospitalized. The real Omicron Killer returns, hellbent on vengeance. And so on and so forth.
Duh Good … Duh Uh Oh … Duh @#*&!
Director Jeff Nite was quoted as saying in his Director Statement that he truly believes “THE OMICRON KILLER will become an instant hit,” that the OMICRON KILLER played by Paugh Shadow “will be the new Jason Voorhees.” Nite also was quoted as saying in his statement, “I am setting up an entire universe of nefarious villains, many more future horror icons will spawn from this new Omicron Universe. I’ve already planted the seeds in this film for this generation’s Freddy Krueger. And his name is KRAZY KLOWNY!” This reviewer is not holding his breath.

The cast. Many if not all are veteran thespians, one of the main reasons this reviewer wanted to do a review.
I have no problem giving Director Nite’s flick a Whaco-5-Slapstick-the-WORD Rating because it’s slapstick gory, slapstick goofy, slapstick giddy, slapstick slapstick-y. Let’s not forget slapstick derring-do, as in daring to do a movie like this and having the panache to say it’s going to be a hit.
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 prurient sexually though there are Zzz scenes of women naked from the waist up. It’s a hit in Indonesia. THE OMICRON KILLER is not rated by the MMPA. It most certainly is not tongue in cheek.
A slice of publicity: Writer-Director Jeff Knite’s The Omicron Killer unites international movie star Bai Ling (The Crow, Dumplings), “Scream Queen” Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp, Terrifier 2), and Legendary actress Lynn Lowry (George Romero’s The Crazies, David Cronenberg’s Shivers) in a high-octane, terror-filled tale of suspense.
