Blardy Virus

Movie and series themes are so into the infection hype nowadays. Suddenly, fictional diseases are everywhere, infecting everyone and then, the heroes (the most common explanation of these people is that they are immune, every single one of them) came about slashing and gun-totting all those who are f*cked-up by the virus. Basic protocol.

Among them:

Resident Evil

The current trilogy is focus on the -turn-you-into-zombie-T-virus. By the time of the third installment, zombies are lurking every single corner of the deserted world, leaving a few pathetic hopeless humans defending themselves. Didn't mind Milla/Alice on killing spree tho. Ooo. Hot.

28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later

Here, the so-called Rage Virus reigns, turning people into blood-spewing zombies (again). Same consequences (deserted London, infected people). Similar heroes (they just can't die, can they?).

Heroes

Even the popular TV Series caught up with the disease. Season 2 is currently focusing into a virus with a cute name. Shanti virus is spreading at its initial stage. Peter saw the aftermath tho. And as the series title suggest, guess who are fighting them?












Peter: Er....so is this the T-virus, Rage or Shanti? I'm confused......

And there is also Outbreak, Twelve Monkeys, Virus (Japan) and to certain extend, Blade.
And so on and so forth.
