This offbeat thriller from Tobe Hooper (THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) stars Brad Dourif as Sam Kramer, a young man whose parents died after participating in a top secret radiation experiment during the 1950s. Around the time Sam discovers his parent`s fate, he begins to have bouts of anger that seemingly cause other people to burst into flames. Realizing this may be some sort of leftover effect of the radiation he was exposed to as a child, Sam is not surprised that his newfound powers begin to attract the attention of the government.
