American reporter Larry Stanford is assigned to a story on evolutionary theorist Dr. Suzuki and visits his secluded laboratory high in the mountains for Japan. Unwittingly injected with an experimental drug, Stanford becomes increasingly bitter and irritable towards his boss and his wife. Then one day, the appearance of a third eye on his shoulder hurls the reporter into a state of terror. The eye soon develops into a second head setting in motion a rampage of mayhem, madness and murder!

From Scream Factory: "90s Sci-Fi fans take note: A ticking TIMEBOMB is coming to Blu-ray this Summer!
Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Aliens) and Patsy Kensit (Lethal Weapon 2, Absolute Beginners) star in the pulse-pounding action thriller, Timebomb. When unassuming watchmaker Eddy Kay (Biehn) finds himself the prey in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, it triggers a series of disturbing flashbacks ... to a past he does not remember. Seeking help from the beautiful psychiatrist Dr. Anna Nolmar (Kensit), Eddy uncovers the shocking truth about his true nature: he is the product of a shadowy government plot to create and program assassins. Shattered by this explosive revelation, the normally reserved Eddy leaps into action to shut down the assassination program before it's too late. The odds seem insurmountable ... but his adversaries quickly learn that nothing can stop Eddy Kay when he gets tick ... tick ... ticked off.

When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
