A mind is a terrible thing to waste... especially if you're really hungry.

Biologist Margo Green teams up with police Lieutenant D’Agosta to investigate a series of grisly murders at her place of work - the Chicago Natural History museum. Can there be a link with the recently-arrived crates belonging to a missing anthropologist from Brazil? 

All that is found in the crates are some leaves covered with a strange fungus, which when analysed proves capable of mutating whoever eats it. When a guard is killed and a headless body interrupts the museum's exhibition gala, Margo and D'Agosta discover that there is an ancient killer monster on the loose.

About The Creatures and Characters of Stan Winston

We're excited to present a program of films celebrating his legacy of iconic film characters and creations in partnership with the Stan Winston School of Character Arts!
