Movie Review: Virus-32 (2022) October Horror Fest 2022 (8/31)

 As I watch this movie, I thought two things - first, it was a zombie kind of movie (more on the vein of Hater the book) and then I thought this is Spanish but not from Spain I thought Argentina … it sure look like it but alas, it was Uruguayan. Almost there.


You've got a girl that is going to work when her ex-husband reminds her that she must take care of the child. IT seems she is struggling with something (we've see a photo of her, ex husband plus two children) but only one is there.

She brings her child  (of 8) to work as she is a night watchwoman on a abandoned building. Strange things are happening on the city - but all in the background.

In that buildings she lets her child playing with some balls while she is making her rounds when strange people, violent people start to invade the place. As she struggles to find her child, she meets those people and some normal people who first save her, then make her work for them in return to tell her where her child is... 

This book is nothing new, is not scary and it's a bit of jump scare. Then there is the all 32 on the title.. you know what it is Going to explain, with spoilers

After one of these people kill something (either a rat or a person) they become still for 32 seconds-why? Is never explained.

Nothing really is innovative, nothing is really interesting. I got bored and there are some deus-ex machina moments that really was boring convenience plot... yes that key was just there - why? Well because... There were a dozen rats in that storage, why? Well because... And the pistol was just there , why? Because. 

I also wondered why so many people entered that place...

The ending was boring, and as much films nowadays leave you wonder -now what? Well if it sells - you've got a sequel, if it doesn't sell it, then you've got a "I wonder" moment that is rather convenience..

Then the main characters, is beaten in the end by one of the monsters but not killed yet the zombie stop for the 32 seconds - WHY? it makes zero sense..
