Virus

SYNOPSIS

Virus is a 1999 American science fiction horror film directed by visual effects artist John Bruno and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland. Based on the comic book of the same name by Chuck Pfarrer, it tells the story of a ship beset by a malevolent extraterrestrial entity that seeks to turn humanity into cyborg slaves. Virus was released by Universal Pictures on January 15, 1999. The film was promoted with a line of action figures and a tie-in video game. It turned out to be a critical and commercial flop by grossing $30.7 million against a $75 million budget, with Curtis herself calling it one of the worst films she has ever been in, but has made a cult following.
