Virus S

A tense and horrific tale of isolation, progressing paranoia, and panic. This show sets an ominous tone early with an accidental death of a crew member. The sailors see this as a bad omen, and it serves as foreshadowing for the sinking hopes to come. This show plays with the audience by having an increasingly unreliable sense of reality. As the crew succumb to infighting and madness, you wonder what horrors are real, and which are fabrications.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
