Panic (1982)

Bloodthirsty monster in the sewers of a British city. 95min imdb

(VPN:D)

Recap:

After the opening credits there is one of the fastest monster origins ever: there is an alarm in a laboratory, we get a short glimpse of the monster, and then there is a CEO who wants to cover the accident up. In the sixth minute of the movie we see a couple that wants to take a joyride in a parked car, and you know what happens next.

I watched this movie because I have read that it was published as Zombi IV in Australia and as Zombie IV in Greece. However, there is one (admittedly quite ugly) bloodsucking monster that carries a virus which might be contagious if it didn’t kill its victims, and it’s occasionally shown to remind you that you are watching a horror movie. And before you ask: there aren’t too many murders, and they happen mostly off screen. Really the story is more about assistant scientist Jane who wants to develop an antidote, the army that wants to bomb the whole city and Kirk, who is a captain and wants to see the monster dead. All in all this movie movie is so incredibly dumb that I do not even want to count in how many ways it is disappointing. What bothers me most is that this film, miserable as it is, is far from being the worst movie I ever watched.
