REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..one of the biggest differences between father and son is that the father likes a little mess in his gore. In "Antiviral" the son creates a hypersanitized environment in which the infection spreads from within..”
by Stephen Holden [New York Times]
“..the whole movie feels like a case of the sweats, putting you in desperate need of the chicken soup of recognizable human behavior..”
by Joshua Rothkopf [Time Out New York]
“..yet the only warmth or concern comes from Hannah, and that doesn't seem right for a movie so contemptuous of people who worship fame..”
by Farran Smith Nehme [New York Post]
