Virus X (2010)
1/10
Why for the love of God why?

Warning: Spoilers
Why did I somehow lose my brilliant hatchet job of a review of this monster before posting it?!? God hates me. The ghost of Gene Siskel is out to destroy me.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

This movie sucks. It is hateful in every way. It relies on a dead hooker for a critical plot point for God's sake. That might be a first for a virus movie.

How is it possible that movies like this get made? It features a god damned robot that looks like Dieter from Sprockets wearing Edgar Winter's hair for Christ sakes!

The evil mistress owns a frigging life-like robot, and yet she wants to create a super-virus so she can then turn around and provide an antidote so she can presumably destroy and/or rule the world. Or maybe just have a really killer IPO. Who knows?

Here's a little game you can play: donkey punch your date every time they show an exterior shot of the "viral research lab". It is a power station for God's sake! And the interior? Jesus, whose trailer park home did they shoot the head doctor's office scenes in? This guy definitely got screwed on the office amenities.

Oh, oh, and guess what gang, turns out your common household dust mask is perfectly suited for a level 4 viral research lab. Yeah, no problem, just toss one of those suckers on and you'll be fine. I mean, why not, it's not like we don't already have HVAC ducts big enough for a grown man to crawl through that lead to every area of the facility, completely unimpeded by any sort of filtering system.

It looks like they shot it in a local laser tag facility, including the storage room, which they quickly turned into a locker room for that day's shoot. The bathroom at your local gas station has better virus protection protocols than this place.

Hateful. Every aspect of it. It is not worthy of your consideration. You will consider this when nothing else is on TV and you've seen all the stuff available on pay per view or on demand or whatever.

Just go to bed. Go to bed. Go. To. Bed.
