Quirky, funny, dark, it hits your funny bone, offends your sense of ethics, occasionally even touches your heartstrings. Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- Singlehandedly, William H. Macy turns "Panic" into a slimmed-down "American Beauty" - a passive man lashing out to break a cycle of dissatisfaction and familial strife for happiness, however fleeting. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Stylish and assured, but it's finally too studied to get the kind of emotional heft it's looking for from its effects. Full Review

Rating: B -- Panic is the kind of movie that reminds you of other movies, then turns that familiarity into an asset. Full Review

A gently subversive outing full of nicely limned characters.

Description by OLDIES.com:

The "Alpha Video Rewind Series" is an ever-growing collection of specially-selected films from our vast library on DVD, now in collectible retro-style packaging inspired by VHS cover art from that format's heyday!

While seeking a life-saving vaccine, a scientist at a large chemical consortium inadvertently infects himself with a volatile virus that turns him into a horribly disfigured monster. Now cursed with a homicidal hunger for blood, the creature commits vicious murders - mostly of nubile young females who had no time for him before his mutation - creating panic on the streets of London. His former employers, wishing to cover up their involvement in this rampage of terror, call in Captain Kirk, a government agent who considers risk to be his business. Kirk's mission is to bring the creature in dead or alive, but he has a deadline. The government will wipe out London with a nuke at midnight if the disease-spreading monster can't be contained!
