My first ever Uruguayan feature and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed! Now, concept-wise, it's an out and out zombie thriller; albeit with some imaginative amendments (32 Secs Rule),thus, by no means, the film had dealt with an aboriginal subject, the demonstration, however, with ample amounts of intensity, not only managed to set itself apart from its contemporaries but it also provided the much-needed thrill and excitement. Not without its flaws, yes, but with the help of its tangible narrative and its technical efficiencies, the execution still pretty much comes off as a competitive venture nonetheless!

A virus breaks out, resulting in a chilling massacre through the streets of Montevideo. The infected become hunters and only calm their fever by unscrupulously killing all those who have not caught the virus yet. Unaware of this, Iris and her daughter spend the day at the sports club where Iris works as a security guard. When night comes, she is about to start a merciless fight. Her only hope of salvation comes when they discover that after each attack the infected seem to fall into a 32-second trance of calmness and stillness before charging again.

This Spanish horror film is watchable. It didn't quite achieve genre defining status like Rec. It has decent characters with the main protagonist being believable. It feels like a residential evil game turned into a film.
However, the main protagonist is not a Claire Redfield or a Jill Valentine character. She is a struggling mother that has not learned to grieve the death of her son & is estranged with her daughter. It sets off a believable character arch from which the mother moves through the stages of grief during a zombie outbreak.

This is a fairly average addition to the horror genre
Virus: 32 (2022) is an Argentinian horror film recently added to Shudder. The storyline follows a virus outbreak that causes the infected to turn into zombies and go on extreme feeding frenzies; however, after over exerting themselves they freeze for about 30 seconds. A mother and daughter are caught in an office building during the outbreak and will work with a guard to survive.
This movie is directed by Gustavo Hernández (You Shall Not Sleep) and stars Daniel Hendler (Phase 7) and Paula Silva (In the Quarry).
The storyline for this is fairly straightforward and cliche for the zombie genre, a little like Dawn of the Dead. The makeup and costumes are well done for the zombies, though there should have been more zombie scenes of them eating random characters/people. A lot of the movie focuses on the circumstances and character development. The birth scene could have been executed better though they do work in some good intensity into that circumstance. The ending of the movie is pretty good and the best 20 minutes of the film.
Overall this is a fairly average addition to the horror genre that's worth watching once. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
