A military plane carrying a secret bioweapon crashes outside a small Pennsylvania town, and the virus turns neighbors into killers, in Romero's return to full horror after Night of the Living Dead, with cult icon Lynn Lowry. Nitehawk calls it a precursor to everything from Dawn of the Dead to 28 Days Later. If your ideal Friday ends with a gory '70s outbreak movie and a cocktail, show up at midnight.
