A
Rare Italian Thriller... Shot In Florida... Written by Umberto Lenzi
director:
Vittorio Rambaldi
starring: Sarah Buxton · Bo Svenson · Patrick Lowe · Cheryl Arutt · Mitch
Watson · Doug Sloan
This
Italian project was shot in the United States with an impressive production
team of Euro cult-film royalty. The director is Vittorio Rambaldi, the
son of Carlo Rambaldi (the legendary special effects maestro who worked
on most every notable Italian horror film of the '70s). Carlo also handled
the FX here along with his other son, Alex. Exploitation kingpin Umberto
Lenzi wrote this thing under his pseudonym Harry Kirkpatrick. And keyboard
player Claudio Simonetti provides the original score (very reminiscent
of his Goblin work).
A scientist at Florida International University in Miami inadvertently
creates a deadly virus while conducting experiments intended to restore
dead brain tissue in baboons. When a college journalist breaks into the
campus lab, he's bitten by one of the infected monkeys; the virus soon
spreads to a trio of rapists and a valley girl, all of whom go on killing
sprees.
