Kalissa H. @kali_416 Nov 14 Decent but slow at times. Unique. See more Vaughn R Sep 28 Tonight I watched this one. 'Antiviral' Brandon Cronenberg's first feature film. Brief synopsis; Syd March is an employee ov 'Thee Lucas Clinic', a company that sells injections ov live viruses harvested grim sick celebrities to fans who wish to fulfil their obsessive desire for real intimacy and closeness with their idols. As well as working for them, Syd also supplements his own income by smuggling viruses out ov thee clinic in his own body in order to sell them on thee black market. Constantly ill and losing his edge he infects himself with a virus carried by a superstar that is more than he was expecting. When news breaks that she has died, he realises that thee Virus in him is running rampant and will soon kill him too. Hallucinating and stifling to remain in control, he tries to solve thee mystery around her death to avoid suffering thee same fate. Wonderful and unique film. Great performances from thee whole cast and quality effects. Really enjoyed this. Wonderful debut from a director that is bound to give us some incredible films during his career. Never seen another film like it. Vaughn Roxx gives this 4.5 Stars ☆☆☆☆/ Check it out. 🤙😎 See more Kai H Apr 15 This movie felt like it lasted eighty four fking years and none of them were enjoyable See more Jeffrey P 03/25/2024 Riveting slow burn dystopian sci-fi, the plot could have been more fleshed out as the overall gist wasn't always clear. Fans of the genre should enjoy it. See more g j 10/07/2023 An unappreciated gem that really showed what Brandon Cronenberg was capable of from off the bat. I can see why this film wasn't more popular... it's pretty disgusting and probably comes across as an attempt to ride the coat-tails of Cronenberg sr, but it definitely rewards careful viewing. It's a very solid film in its own right with some truly uniquely horrifying ideas. The film presents one of the most disgusting dystopias ever committed to film and makes some of the most bleak commentary on the nature of celebrity since Being John Malkovich. See more 10/03/2023 Brandon Cronenberg does not disappoint. Though Possessor and Infinity Pool are better, this film too is a trip. The man is a master of surrealism, not afraid to throw in dashes of hyperrealism as well. He can count me as a fan. See more Read all reviews
