Virus:32

Virus:32 follows a well trodden path, with a small twist. A virus is flooding the streets of Montevideo with fast, violent Zombies. The twist? After they attack the Zombies need 32 seconds to recover their stamina.

Virus:32

Virus:32 has two main characters. The mother, Iris, is played by Paula Silva, and the tween daughter, Tata, is played by Pilar Garcia Ayala. On the day the outbreak begins, Iris brings Tata to work, which is apparently watching over an abandoned school. She might be a security guard, but not one who is supplied a firearm.

Iris sees her first signs that something isn’t right around the 17 minute mark when she looks out a window to see one man beating another violently. Her response is perfect, as she calls the police to report it, instead of going to investigate it herself.

Virus:32 has excellent cinematography. It has a minimalistic style that often enhances the movie. One of my favorite moments is when the camera pans to the security monitors and we see someone enter the school.

Its just after this, at around the 21:30 mark that things start to get good. The Zombies are in the building, and Iris has a mission. She has to get to her daughter, and then save both them if she can.

Scoring

Virus:32 has excellent production values. The whole 32 second delay, which is a core of the movie is shown to us, instead of being told to us, which earned it points in my book.

Overall, the movie earned a 62/100, making it a perfect Rainy Day Movie. The main drivers are how much the movie feels like a mix up of some truly great movies. It has a bit of 28 Day Later, then Dawn of the Dead (2004) as the middle of the movie really focuses on the whole Zombie Momma and baby. The ending was okay, but felt like it tried to hard to get an emotional rise out of me.

Let me know in the comments if you agree.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond, Season 1, Episode 8

The Sky Is a Graveyard finds Silas tied up outside. Is he prone to violence? The rest of the team struggles to decide what to do with him. He was found passed out in a room with a body. Worse, his wrench was covered in blood. Did he kill Percy and Percy’s Uncle? Percy’s Uncle had his head bashed in and Percy is missing. Silas remains tied up outside while the survivors struggle with what to do next.

Silas on Lock Down

Things don’t get any better for Silas after they search his bad and find Iris’s drawings she’d thrown away before they started their journey. Is Silas fixated on Iris? Did Silas kill Percy and his uncle out of jealousy?

Flashbacks

As the team tries to figure out what to do with Silas he has flashbacks. We see what happened in his house when he was younger. Silas’s father was abusive, beating his mother and him alike. The question is, did Silas kill them both? What actually happened? When Silas sparred with his father he must have killed him. When Silas goes upstairs in the flashback he finds his father has turned. Silas then flees to his room only to be forced to kill his father a second time after his mother comes home and is attacked.

Family

Silas is suffering in his own hell as the rest of the group takes sides. Hope is ready to convict Silas while Huck is ready to leave him chained up when they walk away. Iris and Elton don’t quite buy it though, believing that Silas wouldn’t have hurt anyone without cause.

Silas is suffering, and when a walker is coming for him he seems at peace, ready to let it end. He’s is only saved because Hope comes out in time to spear the Zombie.

Silas Facing Death

Morning

The next morning Iris goes out to talk to Silas, to ask him what happened. He reveals he got out of his restraints, but he stayed to talk to her. He doesn’t really remember what happened, all he remembers is anger.

After Silas leaves, Elton decides that he has to follow him. He thinks that Silas will have a better chance at surviving if he has someone to watch his back. Elton tells Hope that he’s going to find Silas, then his mother. This brings Hope to tell him the truth, that she killed his pregnant mother.

Silas and Elton move off, each of them on a different path for the moment.

The Sky Is a Graveyard ends with Huck revealing that she’s Elizabeth’s daughter when her mother hands her a watch, and Huck asks if it was Dads’? Huck then confirms that the package is safe, and she only has 48 before the rest of the survivors come looking for. They have to debrief fast so she can get to the other survivors. Who is the package? Is it Hope or Iris?

The Sky Is a Graveyard Scoring

It took eight episodes for me to have that moment where I’m actually curious to see what happens next episode. In the end, it wasn’t enough to save the full episode. There is a ton of dialogue without much depth, which is why the episode scored a 62/100,. This makes it an episode you should save for a Rainy Day.
