We may not have big-screen adaptations of the Dark Horse comic sequels to "Aliens" or "The Thing", but at least we got this movie.

I like the part where they do the cliche "what do you want?" and the entity just strait up answers them listing off various muscles and nerves it wants to harvest from them.

The plot was questionable, but this movie has some nice cybernetic body horror to fuel my inner Cronenberg.

Imagine being in a horror movie and your character dies slipping off the ship like a three stooges bit.

An alien made of electricity weirdly sounds quasi-Lovecraftian, if anyone also thought of The Color From Outer Space when it was described.

Virus, the favourite movie of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

I actually like this movie. The gory Borg stuff really set me on edge.

I've never understood the hate for this film. It's a perfectly fun action horror romp with really good practical effects and a memorable cast of characters.

This is such a good movie, criminally underrated !

I remember seeing this on VHS a few years after it was released to theatres. Maybe it was bc me and my younger bro were just turning 11-12 when we saw it, it's always been a favorite of ours. Never even knew it bombed back then.

Even if the story isn't great, the practical effects and design of the bloody cyborgs are pretty cool

The most shocking part of that whole thing was "By the way, yes, there was a sequel to Timecop". Like... WTF?

I remember seeing the toys for this movie. I bought the Jamie Lee Curtis figure just so I could display it with the Michael Myers figure on my shelf.

Ah yes, the movie that made me terrified of all the red stand-by lights of the appliances/electronics in my parents' house when I was a kid. Going to the kitchen in the middle of the night was never the same. Good times, good times :P

I had no idea how much I needed a Richard Stanley Transformers movie.

Just like Thanos, the alien in " Virus" makes an excellent point. Another way it's like Thanos is he goes about implementing said point in entirely the wrong way.

I think this movie was renamed for its streaming release as "Demonetized".

Virus - "In Soviet Russia, Satellite pirates YOU!"

There's also a novelization that gives more backstory to the characters and even a name to the alien's creations, Biomorphs.

9:58 they probably meant to write "Help me!" in Russian, but I guess Google translate foiled them. Instead they wrote something akin to "You help my". The correct way would be "Помоги мне!" or better yet "Спасите нас!" for "Save us!". Still works, but fits better.

This movie is so underrated. Just like Deep Rising.

"Virus" A movie that's on the brink of being a 2000s movie, but still has close ties to the 1990s.

10:43 I see one of those obnoxious Twitter posts about how "We are the Virus" became sentient.

I loved this movie when it came out and still do. the monster looks so awsome

I loved this movie

A captian power reference? Didnt expect that nostalgia.

All of the creepiness goes out the window when your villain starts talking like Dr. Claw.

Thanks for reviewing this film . One of my favorites from the 90's.

I guess this is the closer we can get to see phyrexians in a movie

This movie was one of my go to rentals when nothing caught my eye back in the day. The "Steve" line even was quote we'd throw around with my dad.

Everyone always thrashes this movie so hard but I think it's quite decent in its genre. Great setting, incredible effects and Donald Sutherland as the Captain is awesome!

I was watching some of Brandon's old videos, and he seemed a tad more hopeful in his voice. Its like these movies beat him down...i love it and this channel is underrated.

Lord Dread? We doing series now? Totally up for a Captain Power review!

This movie is a huge guilty pleasure of mine. I especially like the electronic villain voice.

One thing of note about this film is that director John Bruno was also the key animation director on the "Taarna" sequence in Heavy Metal.

Kudos for the Captain Power reference

Video: *Released 4 minutes ago* Comments: *22 hours ago* Man KZfaq, you sure are smart

That "Помогаи меня" written in blood was pretty funny, not gonna lie. Writing a plea for help with one's own blood on the wall would be pretty silly even if they didn't butcher the grammar in the process. I actually remember seeing this movie on TV. Back then I thought it was decent, if not very memorable. I don't see why it was hated by critics and audiences so much.

This was the first Horror movie that I saw when I was a kid and I had nightmares for a few weeks. But now that I saw your review, I think I want to rewatch again! Can´t believe Donald Sutherland was in this movie!

You should definitely do Moontrap. That movie shows Bruce Campbell at his Bruce Campbelliest.

Donald Sutherland in "I need a paycheck" mode.

This is genuinely one of my favorite movies.

When you watch a lot of bad movies for fun, Virus wouldn’t make the cut. It’s too competently made and it lacks the cringe factor.

I love this film. It's probably my favourite cyberpunk film of all time. The gore and grime of Tetsuo meets the budget and effects of Robocop.

I really enjoyed Virus. The plot is kind of dumb, but the special effects are pretty damn good. It is like a more modern day b-flick and I love that.

Damn it’s about time you got to this gem, I love this comic by DH as well as this movie as cheesy as it is. Love the creature effects

I actually kinda really love this movie, I even had the toys when I was younger

7:52 love that Baldwin's face 🤣 !

Nadia's last name literally translates into the word, "Grape."

I agree that Virus isn't one of the worst horror flicks ever, however when I first saw it on VHS I was disappointed by it. The setting with the huge ship is actually pretty cool and atmospheric, was expecting a better movie to match that. Oh well, at least it has entertainment value.

"You hear that Foster? We're all going to die... cause there are aliens on this ship." Donald Sutherland's delivery of that line has cracked me up since I first saw this movie for some reason. He makes it sound as crazy as it's supposed to.

I loved this movie back when i was a kid. Still think it's pretty decent.

I remember enjoying this movie years ago. I still think the organic/mechanic builds are awesome.

No joke, this movie came out the same day I was born.

Saw the TV version of this film when I was a young teen. Being a fan of anything to do with robots/cyborgs, I really dig this movie based on the concept and effects alone, even if it's otherwise somewhat lackluster. Give me some creepy-looking cyberzombies and a monstrous death machine and I'm sold.

Some of the effects make me think of the 40K universe with a tech priest on Mars who replaced their organs with machine parts.

I remember The Berlin Decision. As sequels go it was alright. I preferred the Time Cop TV series over the sequel though.

I remember some buddies of mine who worked on this movie in Wilmington. He said it was a nightmare.

“And what’s worse gordon light foot isn’t there to right a song about it” that got me good

"robot/bio hybrid is kind original".. man, Systemshock was 1994.

Lol I was looking for the turkish knock off, and saw this below the Barbarella video, and was like, oh a lost episode?

A Gordon Lightfoot joke????? lmao well played :)

Yes I was hoping you would cover this. Thanks man you saved christmas.

Merry Christmas, Brandon! This is a spooky and appropriate movie to end 2020 with, since both the year and the monster seem unstoppable and horrific.

I remember watching this. Now all I can think of is if they used these effects in a warhammer 40k movie out would be pretty cool.

Now I remember. Decker Shado also reviewed this.

I actually saw this one in theaters. I also saw "Sahara" in theaters. Sheesh, I used to be a magnet for box office bombs...

Huhu, a Captain Power reference. Neat!

Brandon is hands down my absolute favorite reviewer

I don’t remember a Godzilla movie called Virus?...... lol I saw this in the theaters... thought it was fine... lol

15:28 The ship blowing up might not kill the electrical monster, but the dunking into the ocean when the ship sink should because electricity and water really don't mix.

This was one of the first movies I remember watching, it was really scary the idea of a ghost shop becoming infested with aliens

you got to admit this movie deserve a second chance it has a good concept it would be cool if they made and animated series like the godzilla the series.

For all it's faults, this movie looks great and is a lot of fun. A bit of a guilty pleasure.

I actually liked this movie. Mostly for the gnarly cybernetic body horror stuff.

Jeez brandon u are a busy man. Keep up the great work sir!

Hi from Australia! Thanks for this review, I really like this movie, never did understand why it got panned so badly. Great way to end the year Brandon. Merry Christmas to you and your family, thanks for helping us all get through 2020! Much love Kim and Phil xoxox.

I'm like 95% sure this is an SCP now.

Fun fact... the burning of Castle Frankenstein by angry villagers with torches and pitchforks is what inspired Igor to later compose the now famous and beloved Firebird Suite. While working at Castle Frankenstein, Igor had been taking a correspondence course in music composition.

Watched this movie back in 2000. Way to young back then and even though much of the gore scenes were cut ( in germany anyway) it was still pretty scary. The practical effect really sell that weirdness of flesh and metal being melted toghether.

This seems like they discovered an SCP by mistake. Like an origin story for how one got found by the foundation. SCP 84787 A ship stuck adrift in the ocean. It is discovered the ship's controlled by what can only be considered a rogue AI. The AI has used many of the ship's onboard machinery to construct multiple mechanised automatons that seem to be under its direct control. In addition to this, many automatons appear to be built from a combination of mechanical parts salvaged from onboard the ship and biological matter, most likely salvaged from the corpses of the previous crew and other people who managed to board the ship post the takeover by the AI. The AI is extremely hostile and will attack any biological lifeform it encounters onboard the ship via use of the automatons, often mutilating them until death. It will then surgically reconstruct their bodies with cybernetic implants, effectively rebuilding them as new automatons. That was rather long winded but tell me you couldn't see that as an SCP and be intrigued.

Got to admit I would watch this just for Donald Sutherland and Jaime Lee Curtis :=)

Dude been watching your channel for 4 almost 5 years and as always BRAVO. Great review and thank you for shining a light on a forgotten fun movie.

The robot doing the monotone "OH SHIT" from A*P*E made my morning.

Considering her Activia commercials, she'd know about shit.

I still remember when we bought the DVD for this movie, where my brother picked up Virus and I picked up some R rated borderline porn horror movie... Ahh, what a good time

Yes, I got the Lord Dread reference. Thumbs up for the captain power throw back

And Finally I get to see a review in a minute of its upload.

Ironically, I think this is one of Jamie Lee Curtis's better movies.

6:11 man somebody needs to invest in cable management

Actually, the movie could also be called "Humans against LEGO Technics".

I will forever love this movie. Those organic robot cyborg zombies hold a special place in my heart.

I liked this movie....but I LOVED Lord Dread from Captain Power😁

This is literally a System Shock movie set on a boat instead of space.

I remember liking this film back on new VHS

Yes~! This movie is so dang underrated. Sure, the plot isn't much, but those practical effects, and the claustrophobic ship setting is just so dang good!

“How about Lord Dread?” Anyone else here have watched Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future?

Virus the discount Borg.

I've never seen this movie before, but I am weirdly familiar with it, because when I was a kid growing up in Malaysia, I would usually see action figures of characters from this movie in local video stores (alongside action figures of the Samuel L. Jackson Shaft, Spawn, and Solid Snake from the MGS series). So this is another weird childhood throwback for me, despite never seeing the actual movie.

So would anyone else want a compilation of Brandon making fun of funny accents while doing a funny accent? The mans pretty good at em
