What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.

An outbreak of a bacteria called M-3 causes people to die in extreme pain via body spasms. A woman who is a carrier escapes from a hospital and goes on the run, spreading the plague to people she encounters, and onto food in fast food stops etc. She has no idea however that she is a carrier, and as such may carry a cure.
