There’s a massive virus sweeping around your town known as “Worm Flu,” the government is on high alert, and your dad tells you to lock all the doors in the house. What do you do? Go to a party down the street, obviously! The first trailer has just arrived for Viral, an infection horror where the Worm Flu seems to essentially turn its victims into super-strong ‘runners’ a la 28 Days Later. It’s all here: teenagers running, teenagers crying, jump scares with ear-splitting noises, and veins! God, the veins!

Produced by the busiest man in horror, Jason Blum, it comes from director duo Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (Catfish, Paranormal Activity 3 & 4). Starring Analeigh TiptonMichael KellySofia Black-D’Elia, Travis Tope, and Brianne Howey, see the trailer and poster below.

Teenaged sisters Emma (Sofia Black-D’Elia) and Stacey (Analeigh Tipton) live a normal life, until their small suburban neighborhood is stricken with a mysterious parasitic virus. As the disease rapidly spreads throughout the town, the two band together to barricade themselves from infection. But it may already be too late – when the virus enters their home, the sisters are faced with an impossible choice: protect each other, or survive the virus.
