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

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?

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

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

One of those movies where not only do you know what is coming next, you are shouting out to the characters to look behind you! The plot is predictable from the beginning, and the characters look as though they are reading from an off screen story board. But we liked the gory bits!

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.
