I stumbled upon the 2010 Argentine movie "Fase 7" (aka "Phase 7") by random luck in 2021. And since it was a movie that I wasn't familiar with or hadn't already seen, of course I sat down to watch it.
Sure, I didn't know what the movie was about, but I must say that writer and director Nicolás Goldbart definitely surprised me with this movie. "Fase 7" had something really working for it, and while it wasn't a zombie movie as per se, it definitely had that dystopian thing going on. And I must say that this movie definitely felt like something that belonged right up there with the movie "Rec". In fact, "Fase 7" is so well-constructed that it could very well have been an alternate story told in the area where "Rec" took place.
The storyline in "Fase 7" is entertaining and it is one that you quickly get submerged in. And director Nicolás Goldbart definitely did a good job in keeping the movie fast paced and gradually building up the storyline.
"Fase 7" is carried by some very good and believable acting performances. Now, I can't claim to be familiar with the cast, as I haven't watched all that many Argentine movies. But I will say that the actors and actresses in "Fase 7" definitely put on good performances and carried the movie quite well.
This was a rather nice surprise of a movie. And if you haven't already seen "Fase 7", and if you like movies such as "Rec" or the American remake "Quarantine", then you will definitely also like "Fase 7".
My rating of "Fase 7" lands on a six out of ten stars. This was a very enjoyable and watchable movie. Personally I would have liked for zombies to show up here, but hey, wishful thinking.
