Overview
A rogue scientist near a small desert town arouses the suspicion of the town's doctor when his lab assistant is found dead from a case of acromegaly, which took only four days to develop. As the doctor investigates, aided by the scientist's new female assistant, they discover that something is devouring local cattle and humans in increasingly large quantities.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gloriously pulpy creature feature that takes its premise of a runaway growth experiment with complete earnestness, building dread through practical effects and stark desert cinematography as a town faces an ever-expanding threat.
