**_Rabid Neanderthals on the loose at a Florida

**_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). It’s 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, who’s reminiscent of John Lennon. The flick’s worth watching just for winsome Cheryl Arutt (Lauren). Sarah Buxton is also worth noting as Debbie. Meanwhile towering Doug Sloan stands out as the violent bastage on campus, Lovejoy. The first act works quite well, but the last act devolves into shallow action thrills with a garnishment of horror. Still, the no-name 80’s rock/metal soundtrack is kinetic and I always wondered what would happen if someone was under the bleachers when they rolled ’em back. The film runs 1 hour, 31 minutes, and was shot in Miami, particularly Florida International University. GRADE: B-

Enjoyable for fans of B flicks

This low-budget flick was released the same year as Halloween IV, Child's Play, They Live and The Blob--so it's no wonder it flew under the radar of most horror fans at the time.

Cheesy doesn't even begin to describe the acting and writing in this one. You know the stickiness you feel under your shoes when you're in a movie theater in a bad part of town? Find a word for that and it'll probably describe it.

Still, there are some redeeming qualities--mostly the gore and the fact that it doesn't slow down and linger. There's always something going on, and the gore is actually decent for a flick that probably had a budget lower than the average ten-year-old's weekly allowance.

I'll probably never watch it again, but hey, I've seen worse!
