Entertainment Reviews:
Quirky, funny, dark, it hits your funny bone, offends your sense of ethics, occasionally even touches your heartstrings.

San Diego Metropolitan
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.

The Film Yap
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.

...the film never really takes off.
Reel Film Reviews

The results are quietly electrifying.
Detroit News
Rating: B --
Panic is the kind of movie that reminds you of other movies, then turns that familiarity into an asset.

Flipside Movie Emporium
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!
