There's a new party animal on campus. She'll bring out the beast in you!

Overview

A scientist at a Florida university inadvertently creates a "rage virus" while performing experiments intended to restore dead brain tissue in baboons. When a journalist for the college paper breaks into the campus lab, he's bitten by one of the infected baboons; the virus soon spreads to a trio of rapists and a valley girl, all of whom go on killing sprees.

**_Rabid Neanderthals on the loose at a Florida campus_**

A professor at a university in Miami (Bo Svenson) is developing a serum that restores dead brain cells using a baboon for testing. When a student is inadvertently bitten, an infection spreads through the campus during a Halloween celebration. Horror thrills ensue.

"Primal Rage" (1988) takes the setting of “Pieces” (1982) and mixes in elements of the Kolchak episode “Primal Scream” (1975) and “Altered States” (1980). It’s basically a reimagining of “Monster on the Campus” (1958) for the ’80s.
