Gustavo Hernandez’s zombie-horror Virus- 32 is a Spanish-language film that was released today and stars Paula Silva and Daniel Hendler in the lead roles. When a deadly virus breaks out in a city and starts turning people horrifyingly violent, Iris needs to protect her daughter Tata inside a massive club as more and more infected barge in. As zombie flicks go, this is somewhere in the middle tier because of the poor plot, but if you’re in a mood for some recent Z-horror, this one might be for you. Here’s what happens in Virus- 32.
Spoilers Ahead
Who Are Iris And Tata?
You couldn’t tell by looking at Iris that she had a little daughter from her carefree attitude and the way she carried herself. Probably, Iris didn’t feel like a mother herself, with her self-destructive habits like drinking rum during the day and smoking multiple cigarettes with her friend.

The brief distance between life and death finds purchase in the genre most equipped to express it in "Virus :32," a zombie thriller from director and co-writer Gustavo Hernandez. These zeds sprint, leap, and don't necessarily need brain death to be put down, making life hell on earth — in this microcosm, Montevideo — for the uninfected. Among them are the aimless Iris (Paula Silva), daughter Tata (Pilar Garcia), and estranged husband Luis (Daniel Hendler). Unaware that people are tearing each other apart across the city, Iris brings her daughter along to her job following a schedule mix-up. She's...

Stars: Paula Silva, Franco Rilla, Pilar Garcia, Daniel Hendler, Malena Sanchez | Written by Juma Fodde | Directed by Gustavo Hernández
Virus: 32 is the latest in the seemingly neverending stream of zombie, or zombie adjacent, films that have come our way since George Romero rebooted the genre with 1968’s Night of the Living Dead. This time it’s a plague of the kind of viral zombies such as we’ve seen in everything from 28 Day Later to Strain 100 and The Sadness being unleashed on Uruguay’s capital city of Montevideo by director Gustavo Hernández and writer Juma Fodde (You Shall Not Sleep).
Iris (Paula Silva; In the Quarry) works as a security guard at an athletic facility. She’s estranged from her husband Javi (Franco Rilla) and has a young daughter Tata (Pilar Garcia) whom the opening dialogue suggests she rarely sees. And now he’s dropping her off and Iris forgot she agreed to take her,...

Another zombie movie, another gimmick. This time it’s an odd one. After each ferocious attack, the aggressive individuals fall into a fugue state for 32 seconds, potentially giving their prey time to slip past them and run away. This allows for some interesting tactical moves, but is it enough to support a full length feature narrative?
Fortunately, there is a bit more going on in this Argentinean-Uruguayan co-production, which has been a big hit on home soil, and although the story is still slight, it’s well played. it’s centred on Iris (Paula Silva), a security guard who works the night shift in a spacious leisure centre in the heart of Montevideo. She’s separated from her husband, though it’s clear that they still have strong feelings for each other; it gradually emerges that their relationship has broken down in the wake of a tragedy and she has coped by withdrawing emotionally,...

An unknown virus has spread through Montevideo, causing a zombie-like apocalypse. No one knows what it is or where it came from, but signs of aggression leading up to the all-out carnage were there for anyone looking. Iris (Paula Silva) wasn’t. Her existence of late has epitomized not paying attention as a means of survival. She’s retreated from loved ones (Franco Rilla as her husband Javi and Pilar Garcia as their daughter Tata) in order to numb her pain with alcohol and revel in zero-responsibility living. So if Iris can’t remember a promise to watch Tata while Javi takes an exam, there’s no way she has noticed her city gradually falling apart. Unfortunately for everyone, however, the day has arrived when ignoring it has become impossible.
Director Gustavo Hernandez Ibañez and screenwriter Juma Fodde Roma’s Virus :32 is thus very similar to most zombie films of its ilk.

This hasn't hit any festivals but will be streaming on Shudder later in April. A rapid spreading virus which transforms people into intelligent, ultra-violent, extra-fast zombie hunters. After each wave of attack by the monsters, they discover the monsters are left incapacitated for 32 seconds while they recover strength. That's all the time there is. "With Virus:32, director Gustavo Hernandez builds a lean, mean and terrifying thrill ride of a mother desperately trying to save her daughter from a zombie apocalypse. Combined with a stunning visual aesthetic, we know the film will delight genre fans everywhere," Shudder states. The film stars Paula Silva and Daniel Hendler, with Sofía González, plus a whole bunch of flesh-hungry zombies. Yeah this looks damn good!

AMC Networks’ genre-focused streaming platform Shudder has acquired the rights to horror maestro Gustavo Hernández’s “Virus: 32” in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K.
The deal was closed between Shudder and Pip Ngo from XYZ, CAA Media Finance and Juan Torres from Latido Films. Spanish sales powerhouse Latido is selling the film and has been showing it to buyers at this year’s European Film Market.
A high-profile title to track since it was first unveiled at the virtual Cannes Market in 2020, “Virus: 32” stars Paula Silva (“In the Quarry”) and former Berlin Silver Bear winner Daniel Hendler (“Lost Embrace”) in a story about a rapidly spreading virus which transforms people into intelligent, ultra-violent, extra-fast zombie hunters. However, after each wave of attack by the monsters, they’re left incapacitated for 32 seconds while they recover their strength, hence the name of the virus and the film’s title.
