Scared to Death (1981 film)

[2] A monster stalks Los Angeles as a bio-engineered creature called a Syngenor (which stands for SYNthesized GENetic ORganism) and takes refuge in the city's sewer system, going into the streets at night in search of human spinal fluid.

[3] The only person who stands in the way of the creature's unstoppable killing spree is Ted Londergan, a former detective turned private investigator.

When he is offered a job to look at the case by his former partner, several people on the police force doubt he can help solve it, as he is regarded by many to be a hotshot with a loose temper.

Both the police and the public become astonished by the fact that whoever is committing the murders possesses strength far beyond that of a human, such as being able to rip the doors off cars.

Wanting to become a director, Malone decided to make a monster movie because it was the type of film that could give a lot of production value for very little money.
