WARNING SIGN (1985) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0090293/) - Just watched this good little film about a secret goverment germ warfare lab accident. It reminded me of THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971) and THE CRAZIES (1973). After a vile breaks the lab is quarantined by Security following procedures and her husband who is the local Sheriff has a big role in helping as some military and damage control arrive. The lab was only suppose to be for agriculture, but because of a germ warfare agreement the goverment had with Russia they kept working on germ warefare in this Utah lab. Whats really great about this film is that it resembles all your best Zombie films except they don't eat brains making this film closer to THE CRAZIES (1973). Saw if for free on my Comcast "On Demand" box. Strange I've never heard of this film before till now. I put this one under the bad movie catagory because of some of the wacky characters moments even though you will be on the edge of your seat for the most part.

:thumbup: :thumbup: (7 out of 10) Check it out you won't be dissappointed.

It's been a while since I've seen this flick, but from what I remember of it, I would classify it as a Quarantine Film myself.

Your probably right Torgo, but they really go crazy in this film. First they die and come back to life, but they talk and want to kill in a rabid sort of way instead of eating brains.

I worked in a video rental store for a few years in the 1980s.  We had this movie but I never took it home to watch it.  Sounds like I should give it a try.

Have not seen this one in at least a decade, but the last time I did it was with a friend, Steve.  I remember that we both complained about what made you immune to the virus or whatever it was.  Some of the story that pushed the "trapped with the crazy infected people" was pretty much spot on.

I remember it being pretty good.  I liked the characters and the pace of the film was very good as well, not boring at all.

SPOILER ALERT



The female security guard was immune because she was pregnant which boosted her estrogen.

I remember seeing this one on the big screen when it came out.  Fun movie and it's one I thought about for years wondering "why is this one not better known?"

I just added this one to my Netflix queue because of what you all have posted about it.  I love quarantine/disaster flicks, and this one looks promising.

I got to watch this one this week, and enjoyed every moment!  It was a bad movie, because some of the plot holes were HUGE, but it was bad in a good way.  (If that makes sense)  The movie had some excellent scary and tense moments, and the acting was pretty good too.  I'm glad Scott recommended this one, I'd sit through it again anytime.

I'm glad you liked it Snivelly. I thought it was exceptionally good and fun.
