Black Carrion

A group of scientists on a remote research mission discover a meteorite that appears to be the source of a deadly, parasitic fungus. As the fungus spreads, it begins to infect the crew, turning them into violent, mutated creatures. The remaining uninfected survivors must find a way to stop the outbreak before it consumes them all and potentially spreads beyond their isolated outpost.
