Leviathan
Why this pick
Its blue-collar team faces a mutating extraterrestrial contamination in a sealed, rain-lashed undersea workplace—an excellent match for Virus’s claustrophobic machinery, body horror, and siege tension.
03
DeepStar Six
Why this pick
This similarly practical-effects-driven survival thriller strands workers in an isolated ocean-floor facility, emphasizing confined corridors, escalating system failures, and an implacable creature threat.
04
The Thing
Why this pick
For Virus’s alien assimilation premise and isolated ensemble under pressure, this offers a colder, more paranoid version: distrust spreads through a remote outpost as identity itself becomes uncertain.
05
Screamers
Why this pick
It shares Virus’s grimy mid-1990s science-fiction texture, hostile automated technology, and dwindling-survivor momentum, building suspense around lethal machines that no longer follow human control.

A little about the film.
''Akademik Vladislav Volkov'', a Russian research vessel in the South Pacific Ocean, communicates with the orbiting space station ''Mir''. A large energy source traveling through space strikes ''Mir'', killing the cosmonauts and beaming itself down to ''Volkov''. The electrical surge takes over the ship and attacks the crew.
