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.

RogerEbert.com by 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.
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.”
The Film Stage by Mike Mazzanti
Once Z digs its nails into trauma in the film’s final act, the proceedings get complex, bizarre, and wildly messy.
