Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As voted for by everyone in the latest poll, today we’ll be exploring Virus - The 1999 sci-fi horror based on the 1992 Dark Horse Comic of the same name written by Chuck Pfarrer and drawn by Howard Cobb.
After losing their payload, the crew of a battered salvage tug-boat decide to take refuge in the eye of a typhoon and use the short time to make repairs.
Discovering a foreign science vessel adrift nearby, the crew think that their troubles are over - with the bounty from salvaging the ghost ship about to set them all up for life. Unfortunately, when they restore power to the ship, they awaken a strange extra-terrestrial that was far more dangerous than the storm they hoped to avoid.
Featuring a mixture of elements borrowed from Alien, The Thing, The Terminator, ghost ship fables, and the zombie genre at large, Chuck had originally pitched Virus as a movie script, but decided to sell it as a comic book first.
The story revolves around an alien life form that takes over a Navy research vessel and reconfigures it-using both the damaged electronics and the dead bodies of the crew to propagate itself by making cyborgs.
Dark Horse loved the series so much that they published it in TPB format twice, paving the way for the 1999 adaptation directed by visual effects artist John Bruno.
Starring William Baldwin, Donald Sutherland, Cliff Curtis and Jamie Lee Curtis, much like the comic, the film revolves around a naval vessel under the influence of an extra-terrestrial hoping to enslave humanity.

This movie traumatized me as a kid. I saw it when I was nine or ten years old, and didn’t know what it was called. I would tell people about a movie where robots take apart people and use them for parts, and there was a scene with a torso sitting up on a table. No one knew what I was talking about and I thought I was going insane. It wasn’t until I was in college when I saw the DVD in a used movie store and finally realized it actually existed. I now own that DVD as proof.

Yes! It would fit so well! To REALLY go down the rabbit-hole, part of this could be used for a prequel to Warhammer 40k.! Like I heard somewhere that Event Horizon IS a prequel to Warhammer 40k. This could be worked with, so it can be a part of the Golden/Dark Age of Technology. It would be interesting to see what Belasarious Caul would think of this "virus"! What would this do to, like, the Void Dragon, locked up on Mars? What would the encounter be like, between THIS, and The Necrons? We're already in bat-s%#@ territory, so, why not!

@SSD_Penumbra Год назад

@@marystone860 While it's not technically a prequel, Event Horizon is pretty close to 40K's lore on both The Warp and intersteller travel, with both using wormholes to slingshot through Hell. The Admech would see the machines of Virus as xeno AI, which is heretical of the highest calibre. To the admech, flesh is weak, but having your flesh stolen by a sentient AI is heresy. Having your flesh stolen by an ALIEN AI is even worse. What's terrifying is the admech would be a lot like Everton. They'd do those "improvements" themselves.

This is one movie I would actually LOVE to see a remake of. The practical effects of the time were so sick, and I think that doing them again and also using some subtle CG to enhance the practical effects to make the movements not so clunky would look incredible. Also, revamping the story to strengthen some of the weaker parts and make it even better. Modern bio-mechanical body horror and an incredible sci-fi story combined is exactly what we need right now.

@Doc_89 Год назад

I have always wanted a game with the setting and monsters of the Virus movie. Quake 4 came close but where "too clean" for a lack of better words. It never had the delightfully disgusting designs of corpse meat incorporated with metal bits and bobs and bare-bone electronics. Imagine; having unwilling individuals captured and subjected to the "procedure" would add a different type of horror - a horrific amalgamation of scrap and rot, out to brutalize you, while begging you to end their suffering, while having no control over their actions.

@WarCommander19 Год назад

The movie ship carries the name of the first man to die from falling from outerspace (Vladislav Volkov). I always figured it was symbolic for the fact that what comes down to earth, from space, may be a gruesome death to the unfortunate soul caught by it. Vladislav's fate was terrifying in both stories. What started as a dream, ended a nightmare.

@Naptosis Год назад

I cannot imagine the brass balls it must have taken to be one of the first few people in history to 'touch the face of God'. Yuri Gagarin had ticker tape parades throughout Eurasia; to celebrate the achievement of the USSR and Humanity, the winning of the 'Space Race'. But there was such a cost of life. And it often, was not quick.

@IW3527 Год назад

Pretty sure you are thinking of Vladimir Komarov pilot of the Soyuz 1(1967) who was the first person to die in a space flight. The fortitude Komarov exhibited on that doomed flight was nearly superhuman, so many things went wrong it's impressive he was able to even attempt reentry. The parachutes on the capsule failed and Komarov was hurtling towards the ground fully aware. Supposedly he was able to talk to his wife one last time and went down cursing the engineers, flight staff, and admin who had dismissed his concerns over design flaws in the months leading up to the launch. Vladislav Volkov and his 2 crewmembers were the first and so far only people to die prior to reentering the atmosphere. The Soyuz 11(1971) was found to have a faulty valve that opened just before leaving orbit causing the crew to die of asphyxiation while still in space.

@donovanbradford8231 Год назад

A great breakdown as always. While I do remember this movie and normally love these types of films I feel this one did miss the mark given who makes up the cast it is quite surprising. I feel the script not only couks have been a bit better but also given the time this film was done that the practical effects were too ambitious given the little cyborgs look like tinker toys and the combination human/cyborg effects just feel short. The story could have been improved from the standpoint of adding more terror by removing the guns that the crew had taking away the crews ability to fight better. But also changing up how the crew get there, having the ship they salvage not only sinking but also the vessel they were on, making the Russian vessel the only way they xan survive. Another element would have been to lessen the number of small robotic creatures and to only have the one large cyborg but lessens the human/cyborg. The other big part I would have taken out is the character Nydia not in that she was bad but it would have been better for the crew to slowly uncover the mystery of what happened to the Russian vessel and come to the conclusion of we need thus ship to stay alive but the vessel has to be destroyed because if it reachs port than the world is a risk from this alien life form.

I was obsessed with this movie and quoted it a bunch.

My favorite part is when the one cyborg dude busts open a wall and says "steve" in the most nonchelant voice ever before everyone lights him up

OK this looks like an interesting movie to give it a whirl

Honestly I really love to admit that I really love this movie, because there isn't too many horror movies nowadays that are based on robots except for Sci-Fi movies.

Jaime Lee Curtis doesn’t get enough credit - she is SO FINE ❤

This movie needs a part 2

This movie is basically Phyrexia from mtg. Staple for any 90s movie buff.

Was the original story meant to be a System Shock adaption? Because this sounds like System Shock.

@fgjjdgb3949 Год назад

This could be a movie by System shock. It's a pity that the System shock series has died(

I saw, this movie when I was a kid, freaked me the hell out. Especially the scene, were the machines are taking human limbs off and adding machine components to make cyborgs. Another good movie, you should cover is Oblivion - with Tom Cruise, loved that Movie.

Virus and Event Horizon are my favorite 90's sci-fi horror movies.

@andrewwitham8493 Год назад

This movie should be considered a classic by now. Really like Jamie Lee's character in this one.

Please do Johnny Mnemonic (1995) or Sphere (1998)

@TheJrod482x Год назад

I was just talking about this movie with a friend the other day. Not a classic, but a solid genre flick with some great practical effects.

A floppy disk floating in all that salt water? Virus is good as dead for sure.

"Channeling his GigaChad energy"... best line in this review.

I think this was the first horror movie I ever rented. I rented it when I was fifteen so it must have been within a few months of it coming out on VHS. (I had a scheme to make my parents rent one of the Friday the 13th movies for me when I was nine or ten but it required the cooperation of a friend who was staying over that weekend because ny parents had promised to rent us any movie we picked but he refused to go for Friday the 13th.)
