The Mutant Monster
8 October 2022
In a post-apocalyptical world, 90% of the population is decimated by a plague. A group of survivors live in the Mojave Lab under the command of Hal (George Kennedy), and every now and then, they need to get supplies from the outside world. When John (Al Guarino) and Michael (Joseph Hardin) leave the base, they lose contact and David (Andrew Stevens), his dog Butch and Linda (Terri Treas) to look for their friends. They find them and a group of survivors of the plague slaughtered by a mutant called Gargoyle. Doctor Sue (Starr Andreeff) and Hal ask them to bring remains from one survivor to study how they survived the plague without vaccine, and Hal asks Andre (John LaFayette) and Neil (Tommy Hinckley) to help him. However, David and Linda find one survivor alive, Karen (Yvonne Saa), and bring her to the base. When Sue exams her, she finds that Karen is pregnant. Soon they learn that her baby is a mutant that escapes from the surgery room growing up rapidly and threatening their lives.

"The Terror Within" is a rip-off "Alien", with humans trapped in the underground of a post-apocalyptical world. When I saw this film in the 90's I really liked it, but now it is only average. On 2022, in a post-Covid world, the greatest attraction is the world destroyed by a plague and the survivors saved by a vaccine. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Ira de Mutante" ("Rage of Mutant")
