Why watch this film?
After 'Invasion Zombie' it became clear that South Koreans know how to make a good zombie movie and in a more humanized way - '#Saraitda' is another example of this. With the original production seal from Netflix, the feature film was released in Asian cinemas and worldwide distribution was handled by streaming. The movie shows what it would be like to live in the current world with a deadly virus that turns people into zombies and explores the use of social networks and other technological devices in the fight for survival. This approach is quite different from other feature films of this genre, where there are rarely functioning cell phones and internet. In 'Invasion Zombie' we see something similar, since we also gradually follow the evolution of the virus and little by little, communications are interrupted. Already in '#Saraitda', at no time does the internet cease to exist and ends up being a great ally of those who were not infected during the story. It is difficult not to watch the production without making a parallel with the situation faced in the world, in 2020 we lived a pandemic and it is interesting to analyze the daily life of the protagonist of the film - who is isolated from everyone in his apartment to not die. Of course, we don't face zombies in real life, but leaving home without need has become a risk, as the coronavirus is a deadly disease that decimated much of the global population. '#Saraitda' is well done, has an intriguing plot and sensitive performances, which show the more human side of people in difficult situations, this is one of those productions that does not make you lose hope in life.

Horror
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
28 Days Later
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs – and it’s absolutely impossible to contain.
The Jack in the Box Rises
When Raven is sent to an all-girls boarding school, she unleashes a demon from a mysterious vintage jack-in-the-box hidden on the school grounds. Will the students make it out alive, or will the demon claim the victims it requires to remain alive?
Nudus
From director Gibrán Bazán, pupil of legendary cult filmmaker Juan López Moctezuma (Alucarda), NUDUS is a science fiction thriller that, with few resources, aspires to create the worst conceivable dystopia of our digital age: a world in which everyone's data is accessible to everyone, and for any purpose, after a major global hack. The plot follows a woman (Carla Hernández) who, upon waking up from a prolonged coma, is confronted by a stranger (Álex Crusa) who seems to know everything about her: everything she has written on WhatsApp and Facebook, all the videos she has sent to her contacts, all the humiliating information she has said in private. From this moment on, NUDUS seems more concerned with the mystery of its characters than with the greater background of their situation, so it becomes more about the exploitation of its female protagonist than a reflection on technology and data privacy. However, despite the plot going off the rails, the situation lends itself to exemplifying a catastrophic scenario of these breaches in privacy.
