Z Reviews
AV Club
Katie Rife
[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.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
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.
Consequence
Jenn Adams
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.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
The plot swerves are too dependent on carefully concealed backstory, and the otherwise deliciously surreal third act accordingly feels somewhat unearned.
Daily Dead
Caitlin Kennedy
Z is a film that will have you shrieking in spooky delight one second, and planting a cold ball of anxiety in your gut the next. Legitimately terrifying and a really excellent study in trauma...
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
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.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
A genuinely scary "imaginary friend" film.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Marred by a few gaps in character logic and behavior, this "imaginary friend" horror movie is nonetheless quite spooky thanks to its clever camera setups, sharp sense of timing, and startling music.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a slow-burn horror flick that benefits substantially from its top-notch performances and perpetually stylish visuals...
Hye's Musings
Heidy Morales
Although a familiar premise, Christensen directs a film that is full of chilly and creepy surprises. It also incorporate the clever special effects. These effects work really well in introducing us to the menacing Z.
Daily Dead
Lindsay Traves
What this film does accomplish is a new take on old scares.
Thrillist
Scott Weinberg
Everyone says it's normal for a kid to have an imaginary friend, but what this rather impressive horror flick asks is "what if they shouldn't?"
The Movie Isle
Scott Phillips
Z is a small film that transcends the limits of its budget. It's proof that good, old-fashioned story-telling is always more effective than millions of dollars worth of CG explosions.
The Spool
Gena Radcliffe
Christensen, along with co-screenwriter Colin Minihan, has created a new and deeply unsettling take on an old story that works without additional bells and whistles.
Columbus Underground
Hope Madden
It is an unsettling way to worry about what we pass on to our kids.
The Blogging Banshee
Molly Henery
Z brings a menacing imaginary friend to life in a way that tackles dramatic issues while also delivering scares.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It's a film that will be particularly unsettling for parents, but it delivers some effective chills for everyone.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Kate Sánchez
Z is a film the brings maternal fears to the forefront while hitting the usual beats of creepy children films all before turning the script on its head all while Connor Tracy delivers a stellar and emotive performance.
Nightmare on Film Street
Kimberley Elizabeth
Z is a chilling film with a creative and original monster. The scares are intense, expertly paced, and keep audiences on their toes - never sure just what to expect, or from where.
Vague Visages
Ben Flanagan
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.
