Warning Sign (1985)
5/10
Good cast... lowwww budget
1 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Sam Waterston... Kathleen Quinlan... Yaphet Kotto... Richard Dysart... all in all a good cast. It manages to never get truly laughable, even though it's pretty dated now. The story is actually not bad. Kathleen Quinlan is very good as a security guard trying to do the right thing when the biohazard erupts. Sam Waterston is okay...Yaphet Kotto would probably delete this from his credits if he could. What trips up this movie? The biohazard erupts and the plant seals itself automatically with steel doors. Then the government boys show up. Three lab workers who got out are rounded up and stuck in 'bubble boy' baggies, and they hang out with the rest of the townspeople in front of the plant through the movie(!)....they are conveniently unzipped in the final scene. A steel door protecting uncontaminated scientists is pounded by the crazed with a fire extinguisher... and in the final scene it is shiny and new when it opens to release the scientists... A jackhammer employed to cut a hole in the wall is clearly not working when the hole is opened. I must say, though, that it held my interest until the end.
