Geoff Berkshire Los Angeles Times 09/13/2018
A post-apocalyptic pandemic movie that's more grade-Z than "World War Z." Go to Full Review

Patient Zero is void of horror. It struggles to build tension thanks to a predictable plot and lackluster villains, which is as shame considering how the infected were built up to be this menacing force. Go to Full Review

In all, I have definitely seen worse movies. Melodrama and over abundance of unnecessary intensity aside, the movie was intense and the twist in the end was not bad. Speaking of, that ending pissed me off. Go to Full Review

Patient Zero's watchable vibe takes a rather palpable hit as it enters its padded-out, spinning-its-wheels midsection... Go to Full Review

Patient Zero wets an appetite to see similar films, but certainly not to rewatch the film itself. Go to Full Review

1/5
This quasi-zombie action movie eventually wanders cluelessly off track, but, as it consists mainly of yelling, sudden loud noises, and camera-shaking, it gets aggravating long before that happens. Go to Full Review

LUIS LETACIO C May 31 Além de alguma poucas cenas que me fizeram ver o filme, de resto não tem nada de interessante (para não dizer uma perda de tempo total) See more Mar 18 I've heard so many things about this films and did not dissapointed, yes, there are better zombies films but there are worst too See more John M 10/02/2024 Do not believe the negativity. This is far from an epic but it's not a bad film at all. It's got its issues namely they didn't make enough of the interactions between Matt Smith & Stanley Tucci and it felt rushed at the end. Like they ran out of ideas. But it's a decent watch. It kept me interested and on balance it's not a bad film really. See more Denise F 08/03/2024 Enjoyed this movie very much. Low rating is undeserved. This is a movie and Genre you either love or not and you have to see it for yourself. See more Tina K 11/15/2023 Ooooohhhh. I was pleasantly surprised by this zombie film. I liked it a lot (except I thought the very end was frustrating). It has fresh approaches, clever dialogue, good pacing, it's dramatic, at times emotional and funny. I'm surprised by the really bad reviews. It's not the best zombie genre film ever made, but it's definitely one of the better zombie films I've seen (and I've seen A LOT). If you're looking for mainly gore and uber violence, then this is probably not going to work for you. I would watch it again. See more Steve-o 3 09/10/2023 I only watched for Natalie Dormer and even she couldn't save this movie. The trailers did them no favors either to what could've been a good movie.
