“Commies made him an atomic mutant!”

HorrorScience Fiction

A refugee Soviet scientist arrives at a desert airport carrying secret documents, but is attacked by a pair of KGB assassins and escapes into the desert, where he comes in range of an American nuclear test and is transformed into a mindless killing beast.

VIBE

A chillingly bizarre descent into atomic-age dread. This low-budget sci-fi horror feels like a fever dream, with unsettling visuals and a palpable sense of Cold War paranoia. Perfect for a campy, late-night viewing experience.
