Z (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Katie Rife AV Club [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. Rated: B- May 14, 2020 Full Review Z (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 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. Rated: 2.5/5 May 14, 2020 Full Review Z (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 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. Rated: 2.5/4 May 6, 2020 Full Review Z (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Ben Flanagan Vague Visages 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. Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Z (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Alejandro Alemán El Universal The film manages a certain restraint and prefers to... suggest rather than show, generating tension that grows throughout the film. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 31, 2021 Full Review Z (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Lindsay Traves Daily Dead What this film does accomplish is a new take on old scares.

Ricardo d 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. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Craig B 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. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Lydia K 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 :| Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S It was so good, well made horror. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review D C It starts off good, but it drags on….. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Hugo The imaginary friend "Z" delivers some creepy and frightening scenes. And it is convincing enough to makes us believe it is really there. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/22 Full Review Read all reviews
