A post-apocalyptic pandemic movie that's more grade-Z than "World War Z."

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.

Rated: 5/10

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.

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

Rated: 2/4

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

Common Sense Media

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.

Rated: 1/5

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.

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.

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.

Definitely a must see movie, great acting by the cast. Don't pay attention to the low ratings for this movie they are based off of like 7 reviews... this movie kept me engaged the whole time. I loved the idea of it... not your typical zombie/ pandemic movie. I didn't even know this movie existed because it was apparently only in select theaters and basically straight to online movie so it's never got the proper hype it deserved. The infected makeup looked really good, I loved the chemistry between characters, Definitely has action and a good story. Please watch and give this movie a chance I desperately need a proper sequel for it.

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.
