We have the first look at Virus 32, from Uruguayan director Gustavo Hernandez (You Shall Not Sleep), which is being sold at the Cannes Virtual market by Latido Films, reports Variety.

The story revolves around a new virus that transforms people into intelligent, ultra-violent, extra-fast zombie hunters.

A single mother Iris, played by Malena Sanchez (“De Martes A Martes”), is the night guard of the abandoned sports club, who has her daughter, Tata, with her when the outbreak begins. Zombie hunters invade the complex, as she tries to recover her daughter.

One of the lead zombies is played by Esteban Lamothe (Netflix series, “Puerta 7”).

The story unrolls in a 24-hour period and is shot in the 13,000 sq. ft. abandoned Neptuno Sports Club in Montevideo. It was written prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and shooting is currently on standby because of the pandemic.

Aloi explained that the high-concept element of the film is that after each attack, the zombies are left incapacitated for 32 seconds, hence the title.

Hernandez described the film as a “sort of indoor road movie, where we discover each amazing space along with the protagonist.”

Screenwriter Juma Fodde Roma added: “The movie aims to be a tense, visceral experience. Audiences should leave the theater with aching muscles.”
