Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life. Bored as hell No sense at all. The story is boring, the movie is slow and it is badly acted. Do not waste two hours of your life watching this crap.It is incredible that today someone continue to spend money on making trunks like this. Totally meaningless.

The only thing that I can applaud about Antiviral is that it is a story that you never saw before. So for the innovating concept the movie can get some credits. But the actual outcome isn't by far any good as the idea of the movie. They could have done so much more and better with that story. The movie is way too slow and sometimes repetitive. I had to fight against falling asleep more than once during Antiviral and it was not because I was tired. The main character played by Caleb Landry Jones didn't do any good to the movie either. I thought his acting was very monotone and boring to watch. So with the potential of the script I can only be disappointed with the outcome.

Well am not gonna write an essay on this movie, it's just not worth it everything up to the idea behind the movie is way too messed up to sound even close to plausible..Celebrities illness sold to hardcore fans by the thousands, cloned celebrities meat (yeah meat) sold for some fancy disgusting looking restaurant or whatever.. really? so in middle of that kind of messed up ideas you have that guy, he looks as messed up as the story he's stuck in, always speaking as if he's on heavy sedation, whispering horribly (hard to catch everything he says even)..no matter what happen to him you can't feel any sympathy for him, or anyone in the movie for that matter.. you just look at them and hope for the movie to finish soon, there is no fancy twist in the plot or anything on the technical level the movie isn't all that bad even if it does look cheap (probably is a cheap budget anyway it doesn't really matter), but that's not the issue here...really just save yourself some time, skip this movie, and while am at it, the ending is terrible, doesn't make much sense, the way the hero recovers magically and whatever.. gah there is no end to this badness!

A one-joke movie, "Antiviral" is set in a dystopian future in which celebrity obsessed civilians purchase viruses harvested from celebrities who have fallen ill. The film was directed by Brandon Cronenberg, son of director David Cronenberg.Essentially an inferior, scifi version of "Perfect Blue", "Antiviral" follows Syd March, a young man who steals viruses from celebrities and sells them on the black market. Syd - emblematic of paparazzi - uses his body to transport and store these viruses. The film then climaxes with several metaphorical revelations: celebrities are "infected" by monstrous mega-corporations for profit, and both celebrities and their fans exist within an unhealthy parasitic/symbiotic relationship. Whilst the film's ideas on celebrity, worship, exploitation and beauty are valid, Cronenberg's writing and direction are mostly obvious and familiar.5/10 – See Olivier Assayas' "Demonlover".
