Endangered Species (1982) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - September 10, 1982

This is a conspiracy thriller with a tangential connection to science-fiction and horror fare, thanks to the ridiculous ruse the government (or was it a corporation?) was using to cover up their nefarious medical and germ warfare testing as... UFO perpetrated cattle mutilations. Huh?

I remember Entertainment Tonight, at least I am remembering it as being Entertainment Tonight, doing a story about the film. Because JoBeth Williams, who was sharing top billing with co-star Robert Urich, just so happened to be in one of the bigger box office hits of 1982, Poltergeist. 

I myself did not see it during its theatrical run, but did catch it while it was on HBO. All I really remember about it was the gruesome dispatching of Hoyt Axton's character. "I am an AMERICAN!"
