Plot

A mad scientist named Dr. Viktor Vasilienko (Andrew Divoff) is disillusioned with capitalist society and creates a virus that is designed to make people rage with anger. In his hidden laboratory in the woods, he begins testing the virus on innocents. His experiments don't go as planned and his infected victims escape into the wilderness. There, the infection spreads as vultures eat the remains of the test subjects and become out of control with the compulsion to eat human flesh. Five friends, Pris (Sean Serino), her boyfriend Jay (Anthony Clark) and their friends Kat (Erin Brown), Josh (Ryan Hooks) and Olivia (Rachel Scheer) become involved when their RV is attacked by the vultures in the forest.

gollark: But it would be nice if you would explain how this god interferes to keep the world from imploding or something.

gollark: You can't have an *omnipotent* god at least, because of the obvious paradox. A basically-omnipotent one is fine, though.

gollark: Not just "chemistry would be slightly different" or something.

gollark: To some extent, sure, but I think some of it is "if this physical constant was wrong stars wouldn't work" and such.

gollark: Complete omnipotence is logically incoherent anyway.
