Science denier Glenn Rollins turns to an experimental vaccine but will soon discovers the only thing more fatal than the virus... is the cure!

Indie cult veteran J.R. Bookwalter ('The Dead Next Door,' 'Robot Ninja,' 'Ozone') returns to the director's chair after a 23-year absence with 'Side Effects May Vary,' a 'ripped from the headlines' sci-fi/horror throwback inspired by '70s monster movie drive-in classics like 'The Incredible Melting Man'!

With the world gripped by a deadly pandemic, science denier Glenn Rollins turns to an experimental vaccine as treatment for a lingering sickness. Much to the surprise of his doctor, wife, and friends, the remedy immediately fixes what ails him. But Glenn will soon discover the only thing more fatal than the virus... is the cure!
