Plot
A military bio-weapon contaminates a Pennsylvania town, turning residents into killers, as soldiers and civilians fight each other.
Sinekatalog’s take
George A. Romero's low-budget thriller imagines a bio-weapon accident turning a town violent. Rough but potent, with a paranoid view of the military, it works as a bleak, chaotic horror sibling to Night of the Living Dead.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
