Jamie Lee Curtis: 'Virus is an Unbelievably Bad Movie'


She tells WENN:

"That's a piece of s**t movie. It's an unbelievably bad movie; just bad from the bottom.


There's a scene where I'm running away from this alien and I actually hide under the stairs.

I come down some stairs and then duck up underneath them and I'm quivering and this big thing comes down the stairs and I'm freaking hiding under the stairs!

This is something that can open walls of steel and I'm hiding under stairs!



It was maybe the only time I've known something was just bad and there was nothing I could do about it. I just do the best I can and there have been bad movies that have been wildly successful and great movies that have tanked, so you never know.

It was an independent precursor to all of these Marvel comics movies. I thought maybe that fan base would show up for it, but no."

Yeah Jamie. You were also in True Lies which is worse.

Virus is'nt that bad for an old scifi horror flick.

reply

No way True Lies is worse. Do you not remember Jamie's striptease scene?

Well, since Jamie is a hermaphrodite, he probably knows what he's talking about when he's talking about hiding.

I don't agree with her. Ok, it is not the best film i have seen, but it sure beats a lot of other films i have watched.

reply

I personally don't think it's bad so much as just routine, familiar, and full of cliched characters. I had some fun with it.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

reply

Two words: Halloween Resurrection. Virus Rocks.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Jamie Lee Curtis has a bee in her bonnet when it comes to Virus (1999). It's nowhere near one of the worst movies out there - in fact Curtis herself has been in worse movies than this in the past.

She's psychic. We've decided to find it charming.

Damn, I always liked it. It is creepy and unique to have a life form in the form of electricity!

reply

She's been in much worse, her Activia adverts and Halloween: Resurrection for examples.

reply

I think Jamie is just bitter that the film didn't make any money. Her Activia commercials suck btw. Seeing her old prune arse doesn't make me want to buy any frickin yogurt.
