Z’s greatest virtue is in the delivery of its frights, which hit like a slap in the face despite falling into the general category of “jump scares.” Read full review

Z provides effective scares and at least one moment that made this parent scream in horror. It’s doing so many of the right things, but like a puzzle with a few pieces missing, it’s hard to see the full picture. Read full review

Once Z digs its nails into trauma in the film’s final act, the proceedings get complex, bizarre, and wildly messy. Read full review

There are moments in this film that shocked me on a new level. It build suspense brilliantly but like many films it feels rushed towards the end. It also takes a lot of ideas from the Babadook. Definitely recommend though
