Sisters Emma (Sofia Black-D'Elia) and Stacey Drakeford (Analeigh Tipton) are home alone in a California suburb. As her class studies parasites, her friend Gracie starts coughing up blood. Emma has a crush on neighbor Evan Klein (Travis Tope). The girls go to a party where all hell breaks loose. Their father is away and stuck outside of a quarantine during a viral outbreak. Some on the internet call it worm flu.
This is a relative simple horror. It's nothing we haven't seen before. Its unoriginality leaves it without any scares. The worms are functional body horror but not that grotesque. The girls' sistership has some potential. Overall, this is too basic to be that interesting.

simple nothing horror
That's what sisters do
The film starts out with an oriental virus and then shifts to the school world of Stacey (Analeigh Tipton) and her sister Emma (Sofia Black-D'Elia). Mom and Dad are out of town when the CDC quarantine sets in and the area goes under marshal law. The sisters stick together through thick and thin.
The acting was acceptable with a decent story line and good special effects in that one scene, however the film was weighed down with a lot of no action scenes. Do not read IMDb description unless you want a plot spoiler.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Fine, but not that much
A slow horror movie filled with dialogue like ^ - Are you wearing makeup? * - Yea like a little. Do I look like a hooker? ^ - Yeah but like a rally high class hooker. *- Od Kaeh :D :D ^- Do you wana dance? * - Cooh
and anyone can figure out the rest of the nonsense in all the rest of the dialogues.
Story was fine, pretty good in fact since it deals with the consequences of a strange infection on human nature, but I think the directing was pretty bad.
There is no sci-fi in Viral, so 4/10 and I wont watch it again.
