This Is Not a Test vurderinger og anmeldelser
- gforce245. april 2026I don’t mind zombie movies as long as they are fun & entertaining because there are a lot of them & this one was fun, a little slow in the middle, but enjoyable.
- Zokkiie13. mars 2026This one really struggles. The acting is rough pretty much across the board, with many performances feeling flat or awkward. Olivia Holt is the clear standout and ends up doing most of the heavy lifting, bringing some much-needed energy whenever she’s on screen. Outside of that, the dialogue is often weak and the pacing drags in places. The film also has a cheap look that makes everything feel smaller and less polished than it should.
- Patrick Wai19. mars 2026What should have been a fun teenagers-vs.-zombies survival movie somehow turns into a mopey high school drama with weird camerawork, mediocre acting, and a brutal abuse storyline the film isn’t nearly good enough to handle. It takes itself way too seriously, delivers very little fun, and despite making it to the end, I can safely say it was not worth the time.
- samsneed02317. mars 2026It’s about time they made a real good zombie movie worth watching . A must watch for zombie fans!
- schmidibeatz24. mars 2026This movie had no idea what it wanted to be. Was it a character drama? Horror movie? Zombie flick? I don’t know and I don’t think the movie knows either. Wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but it was a total waste of time.
- jackmeat17. mars 2026My quick rating - 4.8/10. If there’s one thing This Is Not a Test doesn't even bother doing, it’s easing us into the apocalypse. Nope. This movie hits you with a quick morning argument and then immediately goes, “Cool, anyway, here are some full-speed, cardio-loving zombies trying to eat your face.” No slow burn, no ominous news reports in the background…just BAM, civilization is over before breakfast. We follow Sloane, played by Olivia Holt, who, judging by the amount of blood she’s wearing like it’s a fashion statement, has already had a very rough first day. By the time she and four classmates make it to Cortege High, it’s clear she didn’t just Uber her way through the apocalypse. Naturally, once they barricade themselves in the gym, the movie decides, “Wait, let’s rewind,” and we jump back to see how Sloane got from point A (normal teenage stress) to point B (covered in blood and questioning everyone’s intelligence). And oh boy…the decisions. The group apparently had a chance to head toward a potentially safe military zone, but thanks to impatience, because waiting in line during a zombie outbreak is apparently where they draw the line, they go rogue instead. Bold strategy. Not a smart one, but definitely bold. The flashbacks also sprinkle in some character backstory, including Sloane’s father, who seems to have graduated top of his class in “How to Be the Worst Parent Imaginable.” It’s heavy-handed and feels more like it wandered in from a completely different movie, but hey, nothing says zombie apocalypse like unresolved trauma. Back in the present, the group dynamic falls apart faster than society did. They start arguing almost immediately, which is impressive considering they’re surrounded by sprinting zombies who treat doors like piñatas. And speaking of those zombies…what exactly are they? One minute, they’re Olympic-level sprinters, the next, they’re lying face down in the street like they’ve clocked out for a lunch break. It’s less “terrifying undead threat” and more “confused extras waiting for direction.” Then there are the little logic gems that make you tilt your head. Like the nurse’s office situation. Were there two sets of keys? Was Sloane just planning to deliver food via telepathy? It’s these moments where This Is Not a Test quietly became a test…of my patience. Also, shoutout to Cary (played by Corteon Moore), who seems to vanish from the movie like he unlocked a secret invisibility perk. Either the writers forgot about him, or he’s off starring in a completely different sequel. If so, that is a brutal tease. At the end of the day, This Is Not a Test looks solid. There’s clear production value, decent pacing early on, and some intensity in Sloane’s journey. But it never quite figures out what it wants to say or do. Instead, it settles into a cycle of weak drama, questionable decisions, and zombies that can’t decide if they’re marathon runners or professional nappers. It’s not offensively bad…just painfully forgettable. And in a genre where you’re competing with decades of brain-chomping gems, being forgettable might be the real apocalypse.
- John Homen17. mars 2026A zombie vs 90's high school kids. Its, its ok. Doesn't break new grounds, doesnt bother to explore the genre, doesnt bother with an ending, so thats nice. The copy we watched had terrible audio levels, quiet dialog BLASTED NOISE OF ZOMBIES #okBoomer i know. The audio levels seemed to blast up as more of a "look up from your phones" than a story or plot element. Canada's take on the zombie apocalypse is another meh filem to add to the stack of other zombie films you can save tiime and skip. In the end, m just happy it wasn't another "found footage" horror tale that goes no where.
- andrewturner1115. mars 2026It was decent -- good production value. The problem is that there really wasn't anything unique about this film. I liked it, but could have missed it.
- cmartino196715. mars 2026I'll watch any zombie movie once, and while this had a handful of good zombie scenes and the makeup looked decent, the story was basic and thats not a negative, I'm ok with run, hide, kill some zombies, rinse, repeat, but the acting was bad and I didn't care about any one of these kids. Turned out to be just another teen movie with a zombie story slapped on top.
- ricomckee14. mars 2026Boring...did I mention it was boring. Wasted premise and talent. Luke McFarlane was the best part and only last a minute.
- Michiel14. mars 2026Meh... some good action but the teenage drama ruines it.
- Louie13. mars 2026it's a shit movie.
