    Rabid Neanderthals on the loose at a Florida campus

    A professor at a university in Miami (Bo Svenson) is developing a serum that restores dead brain cells using a baboon for testing. When a student is inadvertently bitten, an infection spreads through the campus during a Halloween celebration. Horror thrills ensue.

    "Primal Rage" (1988) takes the setting of Pieces (1982) and mixes in elements of the Kolchak episode Primal Scream (1975) and Altered States (1980). Its basically a reimagining of Monster on the Campus (1958) for the 80s.

    Patrick Lowe makes for a quality male protagonist while Mitch Watson is effective as the edgy student-journalist, whos reminiscent of John Lennon. The flicks worth watching just for winsome Chery...
