4.8/10 IMDb
IMDb Trailer

While working in a greenhouse, a man receives an insect bite after touching an exotic plant. Immediately, he falls ill and is taken to an emergency room where the doctors diagnose him as suffering from an unknown bacteria, and a strange parasite which emerges from his mouth as a large slimy wormlike creature. Soon, there are more cases of bacterial infection, but the more immediate problem for the hospital is the wormlike creature which after accidental exposure to a genetic growth stimulant grows to monstrous proportions and starts a reign of terror and bloodshed in the hospitals abandoned wing.

Editor's Notes

Note

Dark Force #14 just shipped after a replication delay pushed it from Black Friday preorder. Custom embossed limited edition slipcover, 4K UHD only with no Blu-ray included. The 1987 William Fruet creature feature originally released as Blue Monkey, re-titled Insect for this Dark Force release. Oversized killer bug loose in a hospital, the kind of 50s-style monster movie that needs the new scan more than it needs the bonus features.
