The Satan Bug (1965)


 

A germ that could destroy life on Earth is stolen from a biological warfare lab and the thief threatens to release it into the open, prompting a security officer to act. 

Well-staged and photographed sci-fi thriller has an interesting premise, but with stiff performances and due to too many plot twists is only mildly suspenseful.

Halliwell*: "Slow-moving, portentous, gadget-filled actioner which looks good but seldom stimulates." 

Maltin***1/2: "Overlooked little suspense gem...Taut script...and direction, stunning photography..."
