Reviews

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Leofwine_draca THE VIRUS is a typical low budget indie horror flick from America. The protagonists are a bunch of film students who head off to a remote and abandoned installation with their professor in tow. They soon discover that the deadly virus located within is still very much alive and soon working its way through them. One by one they succumb to the gruesome disease while attempting to discover a way out of the situation. The whole film plays out in a typical fashion without a moment's originality. The visuals are grim and greyed-out but hey, it's not the worst you'll see.
Andy Van Scoyoc I was going to review this film for my YouTube channel, From Zen to Zombies, but being as it's not worth doing so, I think I'll just stick to warning everyone, on here.Want the truth? This movie is about telling the truth and believe me, the truth of this abysmal time waster is NOT pretty. Going by the title The Virus on Amazon Prime, just a change in title from one platform to another is enough to turn most people off, but, in case someone is as diligent as I am and insists on tracking down this train wreck of a film, here's why you shouldn't waste your time. BAD acting. One of the actors was so stiff and unrealistic, you could have taken him surfing, all but a couple of the others were just awful. I'm not sure whether the film got better or worse once William McNamara was killed off.I realize this is an Indie film and not MGM...but...dang.Great plot line...stupid story...badly, badly executed. Add the terrible acting to an already confusing and hole ridden landscape or a film and you've got one heck of a time wasting disaster. The only cool thing about this movie was the old hospital, which looked like an abandoned school out in the middle of nowhere. No matter what title you find this film under, when you do find it...unfind it. You'll be much happier not watching it and just leaving it at that. Trust me...
Michael Ledo The film opens with a lengthy explanatory monotone about a truth serum virus that mutates and must be contained...or else people act out their "Impulse" 1984-Meg Tilly-a film theme that has become recently popular. A college professor (William McNamara) notices the same cloud cover over a place that was there years ago (Is there an app that checks that?) He thinks something is being hidden there and it is not Dick Cheney's house. The crew goes to the remote access location by foot....okay you fill in blanks.I felt the monologue explanation should have been left out. What happened is explained within the film and a little mystery is good. This one didn't have it, and they could of had it. The acting and dialogue are on par with low budget productions. The truth serum aspect was not as good as "Liar, Liar." They needed a funny guy in the group.No swearing or nudity. Brief sex scene.
spoken Well, I'm confused. The movie, on its own, is fine if watched without any need for details of reason.A virus kills everyone it infects while making the victim tell only the truth. So why did the nano-tech company develop it? The movie does not really make that clear, so you have to read about it on IMDb. Only then does it make any kind of sense.Now here's one for ya ... IMDb has two people going by Johnny Tabor and Jon Tabor, with credits very different from each other. Yet both men are listed as doing the same character in this movie. And now, with the boards gone, there's no easy way to call anyone's attention to this stuff.I'm throwing up my hands and walking away.
