The premise

While working in a greenhouse, a man receives an insect bite after touching an exotic plant. Immediately, he falls ill and is taken to an emergency room where the doctors diagnose him as suffering from an unknown bacteria, and a strange parasite which emerges from his mouth as a large slimy wormlike creature. Soon, there are more cases of bacterial infection, but the more immediate problem for the hospital is the wormlike creature which after accidental exposure to a genetic growth stimulant grows to monstrous proportions and starts a reign of terror and bloodshed in the hospitals abandoned wing.

Horror Vault's take

A routine greenhouse accident spirals into a full-blown nightmare when a mysterious exotic-plant parasite finds its way inside a human host and makes a memorably grotesque entrance at a local hospital. What begins as a baffling medical emergency quickly escalates as doctors and staff find themselves locked down with something far worse than any known pathogen. Deep in the hospital's abandoned wing, an encounter with an experimental growth stimulant turns a small biological curiosity into an enormous, ravenous predator. This late-80s Canadian creature feature blends infectious-disease dread with old-fashioned monster mayhem.
