Virus-32

My vote is a 6 because is not common this film in sudamerica. We must to know that is a zombie film. And zombie's film may be a bad script, but in this film there are some good things, for example a ten minutes of a sequence shot, the location and suspense... and another bad things like 32 seconds after zombie attack or the ending.

Daniel hendler is good,the mom girl a little poor and the child is good.

This Uruguayan film falls squarely into the 28 Days Later category of fast zombies. It seems that the people who made this movie took ideas from other films, but tweaked them enough that I wouldn't consider it a rip off. Regardless, this is a worthy entry into the genre. It only takes a short while to take off, but then it never stops. Lots of eye catching tracking shots, and while it takes place mostly in a darkened gym, you can see what's going on. Well directed, edited and acted, this was a fun watch. Highly recommended.

As I happened to stumble upon the 2022 Argentina/Uruguay movie "Virus:32" by random chance, and seeing that it was a zombie movie of sorts, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.

I hadn't even heard about the movie from writers Juma Fodde and Gustavo Hernández prior to watching it, so I wasn't sure what I was in for here. Needless to say that the writers had all the opportunity readily available to impress and bedazzle me.

However, "Virus:32" turned out to be essentially just a watered down clone of the 2002 movie "28 Days Later". A shame really, because director Gustavo Hernández didn't really manage to deliver anything new to the zombie and infected individual genre.

Yeah, "Virus:32" was watchable, but that was essentially also just about it. The movie didn't bring anything new to the table, and the way that the movie was shot, the fast and hyper mobile and agile zombies, heck even down to the music, was very reminiscent of "28 Days Later". So, sure, fans of the "28 Days Later" movie will get a kick out of "Virus:32", but for a regular fan of the traditional zombie movie genre, then "Virus:32" was not a particularly grand experience.

I felt that the movie took quite a long time to tell almost no story, and since I didn't feel any connection or bond with the characters, then the movie just felt even more prolonged and pointless.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble here. It was a shame that the script and storyline was so simplistic and restrictive, because the actors and actresses didn't really have all that much to work with.

Visually then "Virus:32" was okay. Again, not a memorable or outstanding movie in the genre. And it was rather devoid of gore and mayhem. Sure, there was a little bit of violence, but since this wasn't a traditional zombie movie, but more of a people-infected-with-rage type of movie, then I suppose that was sufficient.

Personally I am by no means a fan of infected people or zombies running around being all fast and agile. But again, this wasn't a traditional zombie movie requiring shuffling and shambling reanimated corpses, so I guess that having fast and agile people infected with rage running around was okay. Personally, it just isn't to my liking. Not my cup of tea.

I sat through "Virus:32", but was only mildly entertained. If you enjoy zombie movies, then "Virus:32" is not a great choice of movie. Watch it if you enjoyed "28 Days Later" or "28 Weeks Later", but if you prefer a good old fashioned Romero-inspired zombie movie, skip this one.

My rating of "Virus:32" lands on a four out of ten stars. This is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time.

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.

I like the new twist on an old zombie theme. Very creative. Nice character development. Good action. Nice special effects. The main girl had a nice story arc.
