Let’s face it. We’re all stuck at home or wherever with this rampant Coronavirus scare hitting the world. So if you’re as bored as I am you are most likely sitting around lazily on the Internet or a gaming console or just laying around binge watching bad television shows or something on Netflix or other streaming service.
So if you are a fan of the horror and sci-fi genres as I am you have most likely already started to watch the many various films that pop up on certain streaming services, all you have to do is watch a horror movie and the services algorithm has stuck you in to that category of films. With that being said here is a list of my top ten horror/sci-films that deal with virus infection.
