Malasaña 32 Reviews
Proves that Spanish cinema is finding its own voice, inspiration, and faces. [Full review in Spanish]
| Jul 12, 2023
While some moments are suspenseful, the film employs too many jump scares that are so common now rather than building the suspense and tension through imagery and sound effects.
| Jul 2, 2021
Sure, there are some questionable choices made in it's chaotic finale but 32 Malasana Street has some of the best-built scares of 2020!
| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 1, 2021
Churning out jump scare after jump scare, 32 Malasaña Street is buoyed by creepy imagery and Daniel Sosa Segura'a lush photography, but its final twist is more than just a misstep --it's problematic and borderline offensive.
| Original Score: C+ | Jan 29, 2021
Given the high quality of horror films of late, this one doesn't stand out, except for a twist ending that needed to be better explained.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 29, 2020
'32 Malasaña Street' is familiar, no doubt, but with comparisons to 'The Conjuring' and weight put into Spanish Franco-era traumas felt long after his death, it's a welcome familiarity that executes above truly generic levels.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 26, 2020
When it comes to the tried-and-true horror, the movie falls back on the obvious, and later, the offensive.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 22, 2020
The movie starts to feel like a retread of the same old ghost movies we've been watching for the last three-plus decades.
| Oct 21, 2020
The scares themselves prove to also be very hit or miss, with Albert Pintó doing an effective enough job of keeping the atmosphere moody and lighting dim.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 21, 2020
A paint-by-numbers haunter that retreads familiar ground. It's a thinly written story with even more frustratingly bland characters.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 21, 2020
While not the most original premise, the movie makes up for with atmosphere and scares. The story sort of loses its way towards the end, but it remains fun.

Don't give this creaky contraption the time of day. It's a place where brain cells go to die.
| Oct 19, 2020
Thanks to cinematographer Daniel Sosa Segura, this film is a feast for the eyes, full of moving portraits of domestic despair and bone-chilling terror.
| Oct 15, 2020
32 Malasaña Street has a promising and terrifying beginning, but falls apart when it matters most.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 13, 2020
Challenges notions of familial bonds and societal acceptance through its delivery of a classical supernatural haunting.
| Original Score: B | Oct 9, 2020
Despite a great score and excellent production design, Malasaña 32 never finds its rhythm. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 19, 2020
The claustrophobic intimacy gives way to a supernatural coven more interested in drawing attention than being effective. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 1, 2020
The director dominates and manages all these resources with convincing work. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 1, 2020
Absurd. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 31, 2020
An appreciable climax, supported by two actions in parallel (one with spectacular verve, another calm and frightening.) [Full review in spanish]
