Schneider Krankheit. Die

Schneider Disease, The

A Soviet space capsule falls somewhere in East Germany in 1958. The capsule holds a chimpanzee carrying a strange virus which starts infecting people at a rapidly accelerating pace. "The Schneider Disease" is a fantastically executed blend of pseudo documentary and 1950s low budget science fiction flick.
