I've seen triple A movies that gave me a frustration migraine cuz they were so bad. (Armageddon with Bruce Willis, for example)
Vampire Virus is surprisingly entertaining - if one's able to see past the obvious low budget production. The acting has a rather mixed quality, and the sound could be better here and there. The flick still has charm, despite the flaws. I enjoyed watching it and that alone matters for me. The entertainment value.

Unfortunately the cover art sums up this title pretty well. Its a cheesy vampire flick that has serious Sci-Fy channel overtones. Very amateurish, poorly acted written and directed. It's not really fun movie either so has very little going for it.
I can think of no good reason that anyone should watch it since it has no real entertainment value for anyone who isn't a sadist. Just give it a wide birth, unless your a filmography student and you want to know what not to do when making a production.
3/10 is an honest score.

Terrible movie.... just a mild step above a high school movie project.
Very bad acting, poor script, no real story-line.
Seriously, using strawberry desert sauce for blood just does not work.
The way this movies is described and they way it was panning out, I was waiting for the sex scene..... but it never happened.
This is a terrible movie.... why bother making it?

This film begins at a clandestine laboratory somewhere in Romania with research being conducted on living human subjects. To that effect, a nurse by the name of "Izabella" (Jessica Alonzo) enters one of the locked rooms to administer some kind of medication and upon doing so is savagely bitten by the patient. Realizing that she will now become a test subject she escapes from the laboratory leaving the lead scientist to handle the chaos that follows. The scene then shifts to America where a single woman by the name of "Jennifer" (Natalie Martins) is being pressured by some of her female colleagues to go to a night club with them. She reluctantly agrees and it's during this time that she meets Izabella who seduces her and not only infects her with the same virus but subsequently turns her into a vampire in the process. What Izabella doesn't realize, however, is that the police have identified her as a suspect into several murders recently committed within the city and they are rapidly closing in on her location. Now rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I happened to see the poster for this movie while browsing the internet and thought it might be an interesting film to check out. Sadly, I was very disappointed overall due to a number of rather obvious flaws. For starters, the director (Charlie Steeds) seems to think that scenes involving gay and lesbian sexuality somehow meshes well with modern vampire lore. From what I understand, he initially filmed an orgy scene of that nature but was prohibited by the producer from including it into the final release. Personally, I thought the scenes of a sexual nature he was allowed to include weren't all that important to the overall story anyway. So, whether he was trying to stir up some controversy or make a point of some kind didn't really matter. But that's just my personal opinion and others may disagree. Regardless, there were two other issues which stood out even more with the first being Izabella's phony accent which became worse the longer the film lasted. The other problem concerned the fangs worn by Izabella which looked much too cheap and artificial-even for a low budget production of this nature. For what it's worth, there were a couple of good things to note with the acting on the part of Natalie Martins and Peter Nofsgard (as her gay roommate "Jack") being solid enough for the most part. Likewise, the lighting and background music was also adequate as well. Be that as it may, none of these attributes were even remotely good enough to compensate for the problems noted earlier and I have rated this film accordingly. Below average.
From the moment you spot the continuity error in the opening scene (hey, how'd that shoe stand up by itself, and wasn't she still wearing the other one in the previous shot?), the tone is set for a by-the-numbers-coloured-within-the-lines vampire flick that wouldn't even make it on to the SciFi channel.
The pacing's too slow, there are scenes that don't move the story forward, and a sad attempt at "gay's good, bigots bad" morality with a pointless bashing and a sexual awakening that seems to be there for no reason then someone wanted to film some girl on girl action.
Even if this film had more nudity then one costume nip slip, that wouldn't create any real interest. This isn't a film to watch with your love interest, it's the film you put on when you really don't care what's on the screen while you make out with the sound just loud enough that the rest of the house can't hear what your really doing.
It looks like one of those "Shot On Red, Same As Everyone Else Does" films, with no imagination or daring in the camera angles and make up, and a sound track that sounds like they wanted to try and make and '80's Vampire film.
Go watch Lost Boys or Buffy instead.
The only imaginative thing about it, is the fake 10 point reviews from the film makers freinds.
