Virus (1999) *
Basically an inferior remake of "Deep Rising", with an identical High Concept idea - a bunch of morons fighting against an evil creature aboard a vessel abandoned in the middle of the ocean. The creature, an alien from outer space, consists of scrap metal pieces mixed with various body parts. It looks like the cyborg from The Terminator put together by Pablo Picasso. The cast is uniformely horrible; everyone is either yelling or screaming or becoming suspicious or plotting something nasty.
