A scientist at a Florida university inadvertently creates a "rage virus" while performing experiments intended to restore dead brain tissue in baboons.

A university professor conducts strange experiments with monkeys. A too-curious student breaks into the scientist's study at night and is bitten by one of the animal-guinea pigs. Shortly afterward, his character and physical appearance begin to change; he transforms into a bloodthirsty being that infects everyone he injures. The son of special effects specialist Carlo Rambaldi ventures into directing, and the result is terrible: actors, script, and narrative skills from a C-grade series; only a few good effects (but truly very few).
