Help! Which movie could this be ?

Hi!

I've been trying to identify a specific movie for years and have never managed to find it, so I thought I'd ask here.

When I was in my early teens, my brother and some of his friends were watching a movie. I joined them without knowing what it was, and almost immediately walked in on a scene that got a little too spicy for teenage me. I promptly fled. lol

For some reason, though, that scene has stuck in my head for decades, and at this point it feels like an open thread I need to close. I just want to finally figure out what movie it was and watch the damn thing.

What I remember:

It was definitely some kind of horror movie. I vaguely remember a crazy man, possibly a doctor or scientist, although I'm much less certain about that part.

The scene I remember clearly involved some kind of monster or zombie chasing a woman who looked like a nurse or female doctor. She was running away screaming through what looked like an empty industrial building, factory, or warehouse.

At some point she trips, possibly on her own lab coat or something similar, and it tears/shreds open as she falls. She ends up on the floor in white lingerie.

That was the exact moment teenage me decided: "Ah. Perhaps this movie is not intended for my demographic." And I fled.

A few other details:

  • It has to be from before roughly 2005, and is probably quite a bit older.
  • The setting looked industrial: empty factory/warehouse type environment.
  • It did not seem particularly sci-fi from what I remember.
  • The creature looked more like a zombie/monster than something technological or alien.
  • My memory of the doctor/scientist part is much less reliable than my memory of the chase scene.

Movies I've already ruled out:

  • Re-Animator (1985)
  • The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
  • Breeders (1986)
  • Let Sleeping Corpses Lie / The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974)
  • The Incredible Melting Man (1977)

Breeders was actually a surprisingly close suggestion in terms of overall vibe, but it's definitely not the one.

I realize this is an absurdly specific and simultaneously useless collection of memories, but does this ring a bell for anyone?
