Virus-32

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.
