 Thanks for checking out this movie review video. This is for the 2020 release 32 Milisana Street, and it's a shutter exclusive and it hits shutter on Thursday, October 22nd When I'm putting up this review it is ahead of that release date So because of that reason and because of the fact that it's a 2020 film there will be no spoilers in this review So feel free to watch this and get and let it give you a good idea of if you want to watch this film But I will say up front this is one of the shutter exclusives that I think you definitely should see Especially if you're into the subgenre of haunting films now, I will say that I am not into that subgenre I usually don't find it that interesting for me personally Usually doesn't suck me in but the fact that it actually Sucked me into this film and I feel like it's really well done for a subgenre that I don't like that much It's a good film. I mean it's more than a good film So anyway, you'll get my rating at the end, but just know this you should check it out It's directed by Albert Pinto Who did films killing God and one that's gonna be coming out? Asylum twisted horror and fantasy tales, which I assume is an anthology It was written by and this is what gave me pause about the film It's written by four separate people and usually when you have more people involved with writing a script It gets more convoluted. It's not as strong as a story of a story But not the case with this written by Ramon Campos and Gemma Arnira who had written lots and lots and lots of TV shows episodes of TV shows Spanish language As well as David. I'm sorry David Orea and Salvador Esmalina It is in Spanish this film. So just know that So if you hate subtitles blah blah blah I mean I get it if you're not in subtitles because reading, you know subtitles actually gives you a headache I know people who have that problem. So that's fine But if you don't like reading subtitles because just like well, I just don't like reading when I'm watching a movie Get over it because you're missing so many good films out there So many good films out there and this being a good film out there that you should be checking out Anyway, the synopsis of this something really quick. It's basically about a family who moves to the city and They are kind of trying to get a fresh start They move from a more rural area to more city area and it's kind of just about them trying to adjust Meanwhile where they've moved Some things start to happen. Like I said, it's kind of a haunting Subgenre film so you can kind of figure out where it goes from there without giving spoilers From the beginning scene, you're already getting a very good Sense of what Pinto's style is as a director and it's a really great style in my opinion a really great style It's It's dark the lighting It looks mainly like they use a lot of natural lighting in the film Which I really really like because in the setting of the apartment that they're in In within the city this family It looks kind of dark. It looks a little creepy It looks a little dingy and that really helps with the atmosphere and that is one of the big things with the film Is I feel like the atmosphere that is created from the get-go from the first scene that's in the past by the way And then they skip forward a while It's so good It just sets you up and I think they do a good job of staying Within that environment within that atmosphere the whole time It just has the same feel throughout which is a really great creepy dingy dark feeling Which is perfect because when you stay in that it it creates this tense feeling of you never know when something's gonna happen So you're kind of always on edge to some degree and that's how I kind of felt with this film the overwhelming majority of it Happens in that apartment and because of the way it looks because of the way the lighting is because of the directing the cinematography and The acting is really good too. It just it immerses you And it keeps you there and and that's one of the biggest things that I really enjoyed about the film Is that you're there and you don't really get much of any reprieve from this feeling of Something does happen and then feeling like something else is going to happen kind of in any moment in the film So that's really well done now the natural lighting I was talking about that them it looks like they're mainly using natural lighting That works really well because it casts a lot of interesting shadows in addition to not Lighting the rooms in the apartment too much to the point where they wouldn't look creepy. They wouldn't look dingy It wouldn't look dark Keeping it lower light helps where you can actually see the actors and see what's going on and the it's actually lit but you're not taking too much away from the actual atmosphere of it, so and Pinto's style is really good. It just looks great This film looks Outstanding and that really helps to add to those creepy scary moments, which by the way they do have jump scares in this I know that's not a big surprise because a lot of horror does But effective jump scares good jump scares that got me a few times and good jump scares that when you experience them You're not like, oh, that was a stupid jump scare. You're like, ooh, that was that was a legitimately well-placed good-looking jump scare, so I Quite enjoy that aspect of it the shooting location is kind of it's got this interesting kind of like Classic feel to it the apartment, but it also like I was saying is like dark and creepy at the same time So I really like the shooting location. It works very well for the story The family dynamic and the individual relationships in this I think are set up pretty well And that's done very early on which is where it's obviously the most important because you're gonna need to know These characters you're gonna need to know the family dynamic and not just the family dynamic as a whole But the family dynamic as in, you know, how these two characters interact or how these two characters interact or you know Those types of dynamics, so it's it's very good So you get a very nice sense of who these people are and what kind of drives them now There are some things that you don't know You don't know everything from the get-go and there are things that you learn later That have a part in the story which are quite interesting and revealing and good There are some like I said, they're good jump scares and the music the music ends up being used to great effect with the jump scares Now one of the things that I talk about a lot is when the music becomes too much in a horror film it kind of like Knocks what's going on the screen kind of the side and you focus just so much and on the music Because it's so loud because it's so over-the-top now This film doesn't do that. There's always kind of this low level of like a creepy Interesting music going on with the film, but when the jump scares happen it gets much louder and it gets more intense and Normally I would complain about that, but Here's the difference a lot what a lot of films do is they start that music before the jump scare happens this film they do that very loud very over-the-top intense music as The jump scare happens and that's fine because that's an enhancement To the jump scare as opposed to giving you an idea that the jump scares coming and Then when it actually hits it's not as effective because the music was already telling you that that's happening So it's done effectively. They did they did a nice job. I Already talked about that. There's a callback from the beginning of the film that gives you a very uh-oh moment in this film and I think maybe it's about half an hour in or so Maybe a little bit before that There's something in particular in the very beginning portion, which isn't set in the past that then happens about a half an hour Ish I might be wrong on that into the film. It's a particular There's a particular item that comes into play and as soon as you see that you're just like oh, no For for the sake of the characters, you're like, oh, no, here we go But for the sake of you that's when the stuff starts really getting good. So yeah, the CG in this looks good I like the computer graphics And they're smart about the computer graphics too from what I could tell they look good on their own But additionally they do what I like which is you don't get to focus on it too long It's kind of like quickly used in shots. So that's the best way to effectively use CG in my opinion I Already talked about the the atmosphere that keeps things tense There is a good reveal at the end that ties a lot together And It creates some interesting parallels in the film as well. That's the other thing there are there are parallels in the film You don't see it until there's a an interesting idea Or reveal really at the end like I was saying there's some things you don't really know about Not necessarily the family there are things you don't know about the family that you end up finding out later But there are also things that you don't know about the apartment and the Situation with that apartment that ends up being revealed and once that is revealed That is where you start to see some parallels play out in the film that you're not Aware of up until that point and it makes you kind of think back and say okay because now when this is like this I see how that's a parallel earlier on in the film and yeah So think a bit harder once once you're done with this film and you you'll see what I'm talking about It doesn't seem like there's a lot going on as far as story But there is it seems very straightforward It seems very simplistic as you're going but then once the reveals of some information end up happening then you realize Oh, this is way more complicated. I don't want to say complicated because it makes it sound like it's a bad thing There's just way more to it There's a lot more to the story once you hit the reveal and then you're just like okay I thought we were dealing with something very simple and straightforward Not the case and I like that I like that the sound design in this is excellent. I love the way it sounds It's very very good. It really helps with creating and maintaining that tension It's just like little noises of certain things that the characters do or you know noises that happen You know not not tied to anything the characters do just happen in the apartment that are meant to be done for effect They just sound great amazing sound design. Like I said, the acting is really good, too. We really enjoyed the acting There is a theme in this of trying to start a new chapter in life and the unknowns that end up coming up Across that journey when you're kind of going across it Obviously, it's in the context of his family kind of trying to start a new because they move to the city and They don't have jobs or anything. So they're they really have to try to get their footing immediately. So The challenges of caring for an elderly family member ends up coming up on this. It's not a huge theme It's not like the main theme of it. It's not a big theme, but it is a theme that comes up and I know that this is It's not something that comes up all that much in like American films Because we don't have a society where we live with our elders typically sometimes that happens But in a lot of other cultures a lot of other countries You know elders will will live with the younger generations and for that reason there is this constant Aspect to the family dynamic of having to take care of an older person in the same work in you know in the same house so You know me being an American born in America and always lived in America Seeing something like that it doesn't it doesn't jive with my family situation But I can see How it plays into a family situation. So just saying The pressure is placed on young the younger generation within a family unit who are trying to kind of forge a secure future Ends up being a big part of this too like you see a lot of pressure on on the younger people within the family and I I Understand that that kinds that also plays into the whole idea of like, you know three generations really living within one house And this concept of you know going to a new place and really trying to get your footing and have a new start everyone's got a pitch in if you want to have the best life that you can as a family and That doesn't necessarily afford The younger people in the family to just have a carefree childhood or to grow up Maybe the way they want to or a lot of people see that they should So that's kind of at play in the film as well And then the ultimate theme is how issues within a family can infect all the members and Negatively affect their lives making it hard to get away from the effects of those issues basically that if there's something if There's a situation created within the family that is so bad or becomes so toxic That it follows the members no matter what so I'm trying to be as vague about it as I can but if you hear me say that and then you watch the film You'll you'll know what I'm talking about or if you've already watched the film and you're hearing this You probably know what I'm talking about you should So anyway, what am I gonna rate 32 miles on the street? Obviously you've heard me say a lot of good things about it. I I do think maybe it's a little bit too long In length. I would have liked it to be cut down too much, but that's kind of a little thing I know some people would probably like it even more than I liked it, but out of five stars with half stars in play I'm giving it a very solid four star rating I would say definitely check it out and like I said, I'm not even into like the whole Ghost haunting subgenre. I really typically don't like that But this film really pulled me in and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
