Toxin
A pharmaceutical company recruits a well-known scientist to help develop a vaccine against a deadly virus.
Why it matters
Toxin delivers a tight B-movie virus outbreak thriller with respectable performances that punch above its modest budget.
- Sharp cast work, especially Fiona Hale, elevates the familiar pharmaceutical panic scenario.
- Embodies the mid-2010s contagion anxiety without drowning in pandemic overload.
- Practical effects keep the infection’s horror tangible in a genre often reliant on CGI.
- For fans of contained, character-driven biohazard tales that don’t overreach but still pack suspense.
