Primal Rage (1988)

Original title: Rage - Furia primitiva

There's a new party animal on campus. She'll bring out the beast in you!

A scientist at a Florida university inadvertently creates a "rage virus" while performing experiments intended to restore dead brain tissue in baboons. When a journalist for the college paper breaks into the campus lab, he's bitten by one of the infected baboons; the virus soon spreads to a trio of rapists and a valley girl, all of whom go on killing sprees.
