Powder
1995 - 111 min. - Color
Genre: Sci-Fi
Rated PG-13
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
Because teenager Jeremy Reed has skin that's literally as white as snow, everyone calls him "Powder". He also has extraordinary powers: telekinesis, telepathy, and an incredibly high IQ, a condition caused when lightning struck his mother during her pregnancy. She died after the accident, and since then Powder's grandfather has locked him in the basement, hiding him from all mankind. But after his guardian dies, the newly discovered lad goes to a school for troubled boys. Here, Powder's special gifts finally reveal themselves for better or for worse. Although two teachers and a pretty girl have befriended him,  Powder will never enjoy an easy life, for he is truly a stranger in a strange land.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
This unusual modern-day fable concerns a super-powered teenager who inspires nothing but hostility in the small-minded folk of his hometown. Sean Patrick Flanery stars as Jeremy Reed, nicknamed "Powder" because he is an albino. Powder has been living his entire 16 years in his grandparents' basement, but they have both passed away. The boy is removed from his home and placed in a school. There, science teacher Ripley (Jeff Goldblum) and psychologist Jessie Caldwell (Mary Steenburgen) discover that in addition to being an albino, their new student is the smartest person who ever lived with an IQ off the charts and that he is electrically super-charged, which renders him hairless. Powder also has miraculous powers of perception, ESP, and healing, which he uses to ease the death of the terminally ill wife of local Sheriff Barnum (Lance Henriksen) and to give a bigoted redneck hunter (Brandon Smith) a firsthand demonstration of the pain suffered by a deer he's just shot. Powder's gentle nature attracts a pretty coed, Lindsey (Missy Crider), but in spite of his Christ-like demeanor, Powder's abnormalities inspire hatred on the part of many bigoted citizens, especially school bully John Box (Bradford Tatum). --- Karl Williams

A seriously creepy film from notoriously controversial director Victor Salva, this bizarre fantasy drama follows the basic spine of E.T. (1982) but lacks much of that classic's charm and excitement, instead providing skin-crawling moments of symbolic juvenile homoeroticism, hilariously bad dialogue, and absurd situations that provoke unintended guffaws. There are a few cool, genuinely awe-inspiring moments here. Salva particularly handles big plot point moments well, such as the death of a sheriff's wife and a well-staged scene in which a science teacher (Jeff Goldblum, woefully underutilized in what amounts to a cameo role) realizes the true nature of Powder (Sean Patrick Flanery) during a class lecture. For every beat that works, however, the audience is thrown a curveball of over-the-top camp. There's Powder ogling some showering school bullies (what in the world it means is never really explained) or punishing a deer hunter to emphasize his Christ-like "specialness," a howler of goofball, knee-jerk liberalism run amok that, like many other scenes, hits the viewer with the subtlety of a wooden mallet. Flanery does a fine job of conveying the depth of his character's wounded, soulful pain and intelligence. The actor really manages to infuse Powder with the intelligence that the script indicates, but never illustrates except in the most obvious and on-the-nose manner. Powder (1995) is morally simplistic and shallow, predictable and contains some disturbing material allusive to the director's personal and legal problems that all add up to a cinematic experience most will prefer to skip. --- Karl Williams
