Malasaña 32

I stumbled upon "Malasaña 32" by random luck. And while I didn't know anything about the movie, I must admit that I was interested because of the movie's cover/poster. And of course, with it being a horror movie, I ended up sitting down to watch director Albert Pintó's 2020 movie.

And it turns out that "Malasaña 32" was actually an adequately entertaining horror movie. Sure, for the majority of the movie, writers Ramón Campos, Gema R. Neira, David Orea and Salvador S. Molina were playing it safe and following the 'how-to-make-a-horror-movie' textbook, but every now and again there were some interesting deviations which kept the movie interesting and fresh.

Storywise, then "Malasaña 32" was fairly straight forward, a bit predictable actually at times. But maybe that is because I have seen way too many horror movies in my life. But it was entertaining, nonetheless.

What I liked about "Malasaña 32" was the visuals. There was a very gloomy atmosphere to the movie, and the apartment scenes were quite intense. That alone was well-worth sitting down to watch the movie. And the scene with the floating medium host, well that was simply great, and one of the best parts of the movie.

"Malasaña 32" has some nice acting performances, by an entirely unknown cast to me. And that was something I appreciated and enjoyed.

This movie is an adequate horror movie, although it doesn't really bring much of anything new to the horror genre. If you are new to horror movies, then "Malasaña 32" is a good starting point.

My rating of "Malasaña 32" is a six out of ten stars.

Slow horror movies with lots of mindfull content, lingering around the predigital era of the 20th century spain, with a production design and well equiped and well maked up locations with very good darkfilming and well acted scary moments then its a recommend from the grumpy old man.

its well over american average horror flicks made lately so see this its creepy.

Very, very generic movie. Acting is ok, supernatural scenes are horribly made. The first half of the movie is only "jump scares', nothing really happens. You will forget the movie as soon as it ends

A decent film, beautifully filmed, with good performances all over the casting, and very well produced, but falls flat and unoriginal story wise.

Well, as horror movies fan, this movie is nothing special or original. At the beginning I got a feeling like it was some kind of a Spanish version of Poltergeist, however everything falls flat as it develops. I felt the story a little bit forced, and there really isn't enough time for you to care about the characters. Initially there is a lot of suspense, and there are some scary scenes where you can almost feel a terrifying atmosphere, but then it becomes way too repetitive and it takes a long time for something to actually happen. Compared to other Spanish horror movies, it's not very good. I would say it is almost a decent popcorn horror flick; I would recommend you to wait until you can watch it at home like on a Friday or Saturday night.
