This is truly enjoyable piece of 1980s horror from the author of The Howling, involving science gone wrong and a man-made plague that turns the victim psychotic before they perish. It has a nice range of characters, some wonderfully brutal set pieces, and enjoyable dialogue that brings it to life.

For me, the most enjoyable element was Sean Dureggar’s narration. This is a narrator who obviously knows and loves this genre, and has the performance skills to bring it to life. He has a wonderful range of lighter and darker shades, bringing visceral horror or interpersonal comedy right when it’s needed. His characters are distinct, and his female voices work well. His cynical journalist and German scientist were masterful. Sean Dureggar is a joy to listen to. He’s one of those voices you don’t want to switch off when the car pulls into the driveway. Highly recommended if you like good, character-driven horror performed with style.
