Edward H I went into Silent Zone expecting your typical zombie-survival flick, but ended up pretty impressed. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel—but what it does do, it does really well. It leans into the tension and grit of survival, and for the most part, it totally works. What I really liked: • The atmosphere hits hard. There’s a real sense of desperation, of moving through a ravaged world where every decision matters. • The main characters (the guardian-figure and the teen survivor) actually felt earned. Their bond gives the film heart beyond the usual blood and chaos. • The production value is surprisingly strong for the budget — impressive set-pieces, great zombie design, and enough momentum to keep me engaged. • The emotional thread gives the story a bit more depth than you usually get in this genre. What held it back from a full 5: • The story leans on familiar tropes. You’ll recognize some of the beats: escape, pursuit, hope, betrayal — nothing wildly new. • The pacing drags a little in the middle when survival details take center stage. • A couple of character choices feel a bit convenient, but not enough to ruin the tension. Final thoughts: If you’re a horror fan who loves zombie survival stories, Silent Zone is absolutely worth your time. It’s gripping, emotional, and surprisingly well-made. It may not be groundbreaking, but it’s a standout in the genre and one of the best indie horror surprises I’ve seen in a while. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review David T Watched Silent Zone the other night on HULU and as someone who’s a big zombie-horror fan, it hits a decent number of the genre’s sweet spots. The setup’s familiar – post-apocalypse, survivors on the move, fast and smart undead – but it’s executed with enough skill that it kept me engaged. One reviewer nailed it with: “Though it has some flaws, I have to admit it’s pretty decent for a low-budget B-zombie film. … It leans into the tension and grit of survival—and for the most part, it works.” Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Hugh O. Meh…. Poor special effects and dubbing m Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Stewart M So I watched Silent Zone, and yeah — it hits enough of the zombie/horror beats to be a solid ride. The zombie outbreak setting, the survival-mood, the “what’s the world like now?” vibe are all there and pretty well done. The tension builds nicely, and I’ll admit I didn’t look at my phone as much as I expected. What I liked: the lead duo (protector + younger survivor) have decent chemistry, and the film gives them enough moments to shine. The visuals are adequately gritty, the world-building holds together for the most part, and as a zombie-fan you’ll get a fair amount of action and some scares. What kept it from 5 stars: it doesn’t exactly break new ground in the genre. The beats — escape, chase, survivor camp, zombie attack, flight via plane — feel familiar. At times the story lulls a little; I found myself thinking “okay we’ve been here before” during the mid-act stretch. Also, some character decisions head-scratched me (why go that way when there’s a better route?) which pulled me out of the experience. Bottom line: if you’re into zombie survival flicks, this is definitely worth your time. It may not become a classic, but it’s entertaining, well made, and gives you what you came for—zombies, survival stakes, a bit of emotion. I’d recommend it to fellow horror fans, especially if you want something fun rather than super cerebral. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Zozo P It’s got that tense, eerie atmosphere that slowly crawls under your skin, without relying on cheap jump scares. The visuals are gritty but cinematic, and the whole world feels oddly believable for a post-apocalyptic horror. The main characters pull you in, and there’s an emotional layer that really gives it more depth than most horror flicks. The pacing dips a bit halfway through, but the ending totally delivers. Feels like one of those unexpected horror finds you stumble on and end up telling everyone about. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Sarah J I was really curious to see how a Hungarian film would handle this genre, since we don’t get many like this — and I wasn’t disappointed! Silent Zone is a proper genre film, which already makes it refreshing, but it also works really well on its own. The opening scenes pull you right in, and once the story gets going, it keeps that tension and curiosity all the way through. The father figure–young girl dynamic has worked well in other movies, and it does here too. The relationship between the two leads really drives the story, with just enough action scenes to keep the energy up. The addition of the pregnant woman and her slightly off partner adds even more tension — you can feel something’s not quite right there. The zombies (or “ferals”) look great — scary, intense, and convincing, just as they should be. And I have to mention the music, which fits the tone perfectly and really builds the atmosphere without overdoing it. Overall, a strong, impressive effort and a big step forward for Hungarian genre cinema. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
