Oh how the mighty have fallen. “The
Terror Experiment,” also known as “Fight or Flight” proves that
horror films sunk quite a bit in recent years, and that some beloved
stars really can't catch a break in Hollywood. First though, let's
get the plot out of the way.
“The Terror Experiment” is what
happens when the government lets private citizens with ulterior
motives run loose on secret projects. There's this random guy who
decides to release the newest form of toxic gas loose on the world by
sneaking into the Federal Building and placing it in the ventilation
system. Naturally, the gas turns people into mindless zombies and
there are a small band of people in the building that must work
together to escape.
I love C. Thomas Howell. I don't care
how old or creepy he looks, I still love him. I actually squealed
when I saw him turn up in the newest Spider-Man film. Maybe it's
because I watched “The Hitcher” approximately 700 times, but I am
absolutely crazy about the guy. As soon as I saw his name on the box,
I knew this was one that would make its way into my home.
Howell isn't the only famous face
popping up in this one. There's also Jason London, Judd Nelson,
Robert Carradine, and even Lochlyn Munro of dozens of straight-to-DVD
horror films. Sadly, this movie is a piece of garbage. I can usually
find some redeeming features, but “The Terror Experiment” is
something I saw once and almost immediately forgot about.
