An Italian/Spanish co-production helmed by director Tonino Ricci (Cave of the Sharks, Rush), appearing under his regular pseudonym Anthony Richmond, BAKTERION (aka Panic) is a good old-fashioned monster-on-the-loose romp starring Euro horror regular David Warbeck (The Black Cat, The Beyond) and Swedish starlet Janet Ågren (City of the Living Dead, Eaten Alive!). Featuring plentiful scenes of monster mayhem, including the creature running amok in a movie theater and terrorizing a group of choir boys in a church, the celluloid scientists at Vinegar Syndrome are thrilled to unleash BAKTERION from the laboratory in its world UHD premiere, restored in 4K from the original camera negative and accompanied by a host of new bonus features.
