Absurd

Absurd

1981 ★ 5.5
as Dr. Kramer

A nearly invincible man named Mikos Stanopolous whose blood coagulates incredibly fast. The rapid coagulation is a gift that has made him insanely homicidal. A priest pursues Mikos to try to destroy him, knowing that the only way to do so is to destroy the brain. Naturally, given the movie's reputation, things are pretty much required to get worse before they get better.
