Every Movie Has a Lesson

Lovingly made on a tiny budget, "Island Zero" knows exactly what it wants to be and squeezes every penny.

Rated: 2/5

Ernesto Zelaya Miñano

ScreenAnarchy

Josh and Tess Gerritsen have focused on building their atmosphere of dread rather than on bombastic, balls-out horror and spectacle, and this makes all the difference.

Simple, effective, low-budget horror... from the creator of Rizzoli & Isles?

Dread Central

Island Zero is almost kept afloat by an enticing storyline and strong performances, but ultimately sinks once the creature design and endgame are revealed.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

Punching well above its weight, this is a film unashamed of its own smallness and willing to take risks in service of the story.

Rated: 3/5

The concept was good but the whole thing was dire. Bad acting, ridiculous editing, incompetent direction, inept build-up of tension. Shocked looks, camera staying on expressions for far too long, agonised faces for no reason. A biologist who doesn't make a distinction between his role and that of a marine biologist. A writer who isn't able to tell people what his book Is about? The very definition of a rotten tomato. A budget movie that saved money in the wrong places. Worth watching for all the wrong reasons.

This movie is not worth watching. Don't waste your time on this cockroach of a movie.

Decent enough acting saves this movie from being completely dull. The creature effects are ridiculous.
