In the small English town of Newton, a pharmaceutical company’s experiments with a new vaccine take a disastrous turn when a laboratory accident triggers an outbreak of a deadly virus. With head scientist Dr. Adams missing, and the authorities eager to keep the incident under wraps, Captain Kirk is drafted in to try to get the situation under control. When horrifically mutilated bodies start turning up, drained of all their blood and bearing strange radiation burns, the awful truth soon becomes clear — Dr. Adams has been transformed into a blood-drinking mutant and is on the rampage.
With the area under quarantine, the pressure is on Captain Kirk to track down and eliminate Dr. Adams before the authorities take drastic action.
An Italian/Spanish co-production helmed by director Tonino Ricci (appearing under his pseudonym Anthony Richmond), Bakterion (aka Panic) is a monster-on-the-loose romp starring Euro horror regular David Warbeck and Swedish starlet Janet Ågren. Featuring scenes of creature mayhem, including the monster running amok in a movie theater and terrorizing a group of choir boys in a church, the film arrives in its world UHD premiere, restored in 4K from the original camera negative and accompanied by new bonus features.
STARRING: David Warbeck, Janet Ågren, José Lifante, Roberto Ricci
