Title: A Thriller That Shook Up People In The Midst Of The Cold War
Product review: When "The Satan Bug" was released in 1964 it came as a shock to most audiences whose fear was of atomic warfare. Chemical warfare was known from World War I but "The Satan Bug" introduced the terrifying idea of biological warfare to most people. With a fine cast, intelligent no wasted word script and crisp direction the film is a thriller that holds your attention to the end. From the chilling opening sequence with Jerry Goldsmith's unsettling music to its climax over the skies of Los Angeles this film manages to both entertain and leave you with a chilling after thought of what might be. In 1964 it was borderline science fiction but at century's end it is a possible reality.
