Strong start that trails off in the second half
This is a trend that more and more horror movies made in the last few years follow. “Z” is another one to add to that list, with a strong start that loses all sense of direction in the second half.“Z” has the bones of a strong movie though. The main actress plays her role genuinely, and her acting interplay with the child actor is convincing. Most kids in horror movies nowadays get compared to the child in “Babadook” and this child actor is nothing of that whiny sort. He pulls off some well done solo shots. “Z” also looks great. The director manages to pull out everything he can out of his budget (which was around 400k), and produced a movie with the looks and direction five to ten times of the money that went into it. That in its own sense deserves credit, the movie’s looks and sounds fantastic for the budget.
Where “Z” really begins to loose it’s mark is in the direction of the plot, especially the second half. The beginning of the movie starts off well, and it’s subtlety is jarring. It has jump scares few and far in between, relying more on atmosphere. The jump scares it does show are decently well done. Best of all, the characters actually act sane. They reacting to what happens like real people in real life would do, which is refreshing.
Right around the halfway point it looses its direction completely. It’s a different movie, like the director switched out with someone else. “Z” turns into cheap jump scares galore, the characters devolve into morons, and the plot jumps off the path laid out by the first half of the film. This all ends with the last 20 minutes that had me peering out from hands over my eyes, not from the horror but from the cringe of the plot.
“Z” turns into a B level horror movie where gone was any sense of subtly and instead everything is presented to you at face value. Nothing against these type of horror movies, but with the potential the first half of the movie showed, it’s hard to not be disappointed with how it ended. Still though, the director is one to keep an eye on. If he can learn from some of his mistakes, he can put out something worth watching all the way through. The first half of the film marks that his potential is there.
As horror movies go…meh
It wasn’t the worst horror film I’ve ever seen but certainly not the best. I read a few folks say they didn’t like the last part but I think the last 20-30 minutes were the most like a horror movie. The acting was good and there were elements that caught my attention but it was way too slow of a build up. Do yourself a favor and just watch the last 30 minutes.
