If, like me, you have an unhealthy obsession with the zombie genre, you’ll recognise the influence of films like 28 Days Later (2002) and The Horde (2009) on writer and director Gustavo Hernandez. Filmed in an abandoned sports club in Montevideo, Hernandez makes the most of this single location, with some strong visuals, gory outbursts, and long takes that put you right there with troubled night guard Iris, as she tries to escape the teeth of ultra-violent infected and save her young daughter. There are no great innovations here but in a genre that attracts some of the worst film making possible, it’s well above average.
