- VIRUS (1999) – Speaking of Sci-fi thrillers, we have another one to add…but this one stars legendary Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis! Also features William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland and has been long due for reevaluation.

I recently imported the German blu-ray, but will gladly double dip on a SF release.

ol_Dut · 10-31-2016, 04:44 PM

Nice! It always felt like a lesser-known title, but I'm a fan. I'm very pleasantly surprised that this is getting a blu-ray release, but I'm not surprised at all that SF would be the ones to bring it to us. Can't wait!

Gag...they can do a whole better than this turd

ShadeRF · 10-31-2016, 04:56 PM

Awesome, I was just about to import the German blu. I'll wait now!

javi92 · 10-31-2016, 05:12 PM

Vaguely remember this from my high school years. Will have to wait for some kind of sale.

Michael24 · 10-31-2016, 05:51 PM

Awesome! I was planning to buy the German version since it's region free, just hadn't gotten around to it yet. Now I'll just hold off and get this instead. Not a great film by any means but I enjoy it for its goofy sense of fun and it will complete my Jamie Lee Curtis Scream Queen collection. Besides, I'm starting to get very nostalgic for '90s sci fi and horror these days.

Damn, this jus came on cable last week. can't wait

THS · 10-31-2016, 07:32 PM

Dude! Been hoping Scream! would get their hands on this one! Day one!

cheez avenger · 10-31-2016, 08:26 PM

This one's a guilty pleasure. I remember they delayed this one for almost 2 years? I actually had a private screening pass for it back then but gave it to a friend and he said that it was just ok - a tad distracting, because a lot of visual effects weren't finished and they had static images of incomplete shots.

I just like it due to the traditional effects and Phil Tippet's work. I want to say that it was one of the first films where his studio started using computers.

FarewelltotheFlesh · 10-31-2016, 11:43 PM

This movie is a total blast from start to finish. It's not a good film but it's certainly entertaining with some wild gore effects. I bought the German blu-ray release but I'm happy to upgrade it. Day 1 for me!

Trekkie313 · 10-31-2016, 11:48 PM

Hope they contact Steve Johnson, he did the superb special effects for this movie.

I still have the action figure, they were super useful for my Resident Evil dioramas.

They better have an interview with Jamie Lee Curtis on how much she hates this movie.

P-Rock · 11-01-2016, 01:22 AM

Not a great movie, but quite entertaining. Dunno if I would buy it though. Maybe when it's in the bargain bin.

Germtop · 11-01-2016, 01:25 AM

I love this movie. Never got around getting the German release and now I'm happy I didn't

Mayormccheese85 · 11-01-2016, 02:42 AM

Love this movie!

That would automatically make it a day one purchase if there's an interview with her and she isn't allowed to rein in her disdain for the film.

Jcatesrn · 11-04-2016, 08:08 PM

I can't wait to own this on Blu

she was pretty candid about THE FOG

so I assume there will be no leash put on her comments if she does an interview

GasmaskAvenger · 11-04-2016, 09:01 PM

A Jamie Lee Curtis commentary track for Virus in the vein of Malcolm McDowell's commentary for Caligula would be pretty funny.
