Mutant Hunt runs the gamut with terrible acting all around, some of the slowest and worst fight choreography this side of 36 Husbands, both a good (synth) and bad (mostly anything that’s not synth) score, some surprisingly well done production design on a clearly limited budget, and cinematography that at times looks way more impressive than you’d expect with some smart choices in set design and filming locations. The biggest problem here is pacing—even at 76 minutes, it feels long. That poster does kick ass though.

Even with all the unorthodox choices Roeg made stylistically, it just ends up coming off as a rather banal '70s supernatural thriller with little to no thrills. Maybe I'd glean more upon repeated viewings, as it seems a lot of others are able to, but I honestly don't see myself ever sitting down to watch this one again.
