Really Awful Movies: Ep 436 – Primal Rage

Primal Rage!

Genre legend Bo Svenson (The Inglorious Bastards/Walking Tall/Snow Beast) plays Florida college research geek Dr. Ethridge, who is toiling away on a protein that will revolutionize how we treat Alzheimer’s disease.

It’s so revolutionary in fact, that the dean threatens to pull his funding if he doesn’t make a scientific breakthrough in two months (publish or perish, right?)

Frank Duffy, a hard-drinking/smoking gonzo journalist for the school paper, decides to investigate the goings-on at Ethridge’s lab.

When he’s bitten by a baboon, a “new party animal on campus” is unleashed.

This one is co-written by Umberto Lenzi, so you know it’s bonkers!
