Synopsis/Details
DR. ALICE EVANSTON, a scientist, concocts a serum from porcupine bezoar (a hard mass found in the gastrointestinal tract of the porcupine known for its medicinal properties) that will enable the crippled, paraplegic, quadriplegic, paralysis victims, etc. to walk once more. However, without FDA approval and against her colleague, DR. RICH O’DONNELL’S insistence to not do so, she administers a dose to her paraplegic husband, MATT, who immediately shows signs of improvement. Unfortunately, the serum also has unresolved side effects, which result in MATT developing spines on his body resembling that of a porcupine and taking on a monstrous persona. It is now up to ALICE and RICH to return him to his normal state.
