This is a 1974 horror sci-fi starring Donald Pleasance and Tom Baker. It was directed by Jack Cardiff, and written by Robert D. Weinbach and Edward Mann. "The Mutations" was also originally called "The Freakmaker".
It's a weird mad scientist film about a strange Dr. Nolter who gives lectures at a university on mutant species, but also has a secret lab working on plant/human hybrids. A group of friends find one of them has disappeared when she's chased into the woods. A circus at an amusement park has bizarre goings on, so that even people working at a freak show asked questions but connected to Dr. Nolter's experiments!
A dark film with nudity and violence. It's such a horrible story that it's good in a bad way. One of the actors, Michael Dunn, passed away during the making of this film at the age of 39. The location of the film was at Battersea Funfair but it closed the same year of the film's release after a tragic accident.
I give this a gruesome 6/10.
