Always loved this rather paranoid little film. At the height of the cold war, a lethal virus goes a-missing from a "research" facility. Wooh mama!
TV stalwart George Maharis makes a reasonably convincing hero and tis always great to see Lou Grant as a husky voiced villain ahem.

This film takes me back. I think it was about 1983 and i had just got a black & white portable telly in my room. Back in the day when there were 3 channels (channel 4 came in '84 i think) and any telly not hooked up to the roof ariel meant a world of snow and having to sit 2 feet from the screen to see anything.
Well, as i recall, The Satan Bug was the first thing i watched late at night in my own room on my own telly without my parents knowing about it. Illicit thrills! Ah, memories.
