Suggested by mr_blue_sky
David Banner gets turned into the Hulk after the explosion of an experimental gamma weapon. A russian spy known simply as "Igor", but posing as a janitor called Samuel Sterns, gets blasted by the gamma rays at the same time. Igor becomes the Leader of a terrorist group called "Intelligencia" and together they take the Empire State building, the Leader builds an antenna that will turn everyone into gamma monsters, "the new step of human evolution" as he explains. Banner can't keep Hulk in check, his anger gets the better of him and lets the monster take over, creating a pat of terror everywhere. Banner goes to his therapist, Doctor Samson, he tells him that he must confess everything to his loveones. The army can't face the Leader and his crew of gamma monsters, this gets the attention of Banner as he turns into the Hulk and faces the Leader. Hulk can't beat the villain on his own, does, Banner must deactivate the antenna. The Leader is defeated, but at the very end he makes the building crumble, killing himself and Betty at the same time. Now, with a true reason to hate him, Ross decides to search for Banner all over the country. We end with Banner walking only with a bag over his shoulder in an empty canadian road. Visually, the movie would look like a mix of classic universal monster movies and the works of Dario Argento.
