Virus
Directed by visual effects artist John Bruno, 1999’s Virus is a seafaring science fiction thriller about a Russian research ship beset by alien cyborgs looking to use humans as “spare parts.” Some of those parts belong to stars Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland as a tugboat captain. A line of action figures and even a video game couldn’t attract ticket buyers.
