Where to Watch Virus
Virus Ratings & Reviews
- Richard19 oktober 2025I bought this as a bargain DVD, and the premise had me hooked: a sentient alien energy hijacks a Russian research vessel and starts turning humans into biomechanical nightmares. Jamie Lee Curtis leads the cast with solid genre grit, joined by Donald Sutherland doing his best “grizzled captain with questionable motives” routine. The ship is dark, dripping and full of corridors that scream “don’t go in there.” The creature effects are practical and gnarly, metal fused with flesh, wires snaking through torsos and cyborg monstrosities that feel like leftover nightmares from Event Horizon. It’s got atmosphere, ambition and a few genuinely creepy moments. But the pacing stumbles, the dialogue leans into cliché and the characters often feel like they’re waiting for the next jump scare. It could’ve become so much more, a proper techno horror franchise, maybe even a cult classic. But it fizzled. I liked the concept and the execution in parts. It’s the kind of movie that made adult years feel grimy, tense and full of missed potential, with just enough mechanical menace to earn a spot on the shelf.
- Julie Jones25 januari 2026Wow. It was a struggle to my attention span to watch this movie. It doesn't make any sense. Basically we have a group of people who are trapped on a ship, they are being slowly hunted down by robotic creatures intent on assimilating them! I would not bother watching this movie
- SaturnFoxDie21 augusti 2025This movie is still amazing. Great prop work, even the CG mostly holds up. Excellent premise, the Vandenberg ship is beautiful as well. A young Curtis is HOT and talented, all the others are top notch too. All the robotic corpses are bloody awesome. All in all, excellent movie.
