[I]f you're looking to turn out all the lights, pull a blanket up under your chin, and jump several inches off your couch, there's a new bad-seed thriller to adopt today. Go to Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 05/14/2020
2.5/5
Based on the formulaic nature of the characters, the story goes precisely where you think it will. Yet if you're looking for something the brings the chills, this is it. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 05/06/2020
2.5/4
It's one of those films that may be overly reliant on jump scares when you tally them all up, but I'd by lying if I didn't admit that a few of them legitimately made me jump. Go to Full Review Ben Flanagan Vague Visages 02/07/2024
It makes for good quarantine viewing, but one wishes for a version of the film that does more to eke out the subtext from this well trodden ground. Go to Full Review Alejandro Alemán El Universal 03/31/2021
The film manages a certain restraint and prefers to... suggest rather than show, generating tension that grows throughout the film. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Lindsay Traves Daily Dead 02/23/2021

Korra N Sep 10 While the visuals aren't always believable and the cinematography pretty basic, Z still has some great acting, clever writing and a few solid scares. See more Chica K Jul 22 It feels like they ran out of any budget halfway through, despite the short run time this movie dragged on. None of it was actually scary and the acting is laughable. See more Ricardo d Jan 24 Um roteiro raso, atuações ruins, o pai com suas atitudes iniciais adorei o seu desfecho. Efeitos bem simplórios. Poderia ser melhor explorado, temos filmes com temática semelhante que foram mais criativos. See more Craig B 07/11/2024 Z is a generally creepy movie. Reasonable acting and a well-paced story (it’s only 83 minutes, how could you go wrong?), it’s certainly a good watch for fans of a brooding horror story. See more Lydia K 07/05/2024 It's pretty predictable if you ask me. The plot wasn't very exciting either.... just a bunch of scary stuff. The trailer is basically the whole movie :| See more Emilliano Jr S 09/14/2023 It was so good, well made horror. See more Read all reviews
