3/10
PANIC, why panic?

Warning: Spoilers
I am working my way through the Chilling Classics 50 Movie Pack Collection and PANIC is the second movie on disk 7.

I was watching this before vacation; and, made it to the 55 minute mark. I took a week break; and, finished it today.

What would I find wrong with this movie, besides a slow pace, a ridiculous premise, a lead scientist who "guesses" about everything. The British government's plot to kill its own citizens due to a failed experiment it commissioned?

Oh, I don't know... How about miserable monster effects? No one being able to stop this monster, despite repeated attempts by the police, the military, and others? The aborted bombing mission that ends so quickly you don't even realize they made radio contact?

No epilogue whatsoever; and, hardly any back story, short of two rats fighting in the lab.

It was just bizarre! And, could have been so much better.

Niggling mistake: Big Ben has TWO different types of chimes -- one long BONG; and, something close to the correct version; but, not quite.
