Z (2020) MOVIE REVIEW


 On May 7th on the Shudder horror app, the movie Z premiered. It caught my eye right away as something I might be interested in checking out. Written by Brandon Christensen and Colin Minihan, also directed by Brandon, Z is a horror movie that will keep you entertained. Starring Keegan Connor Tracy as Beth, Jett Klyne as Josh, and Sean Rogerson Kevin.


   The plot of the movie is when eight year old Joshua starts talking to an imaginary friend named Z, his parents Beth and Kevin don't think much of it. Most kids have an imaginary friend at some point right? When Joshua starts acting up and goes from being a innocent little boy to a dark trouble maker that even his friends are to scared to be around, his mom starts to worry. Kevin thinks that Beth is over reacting to everything and questions her sanity when she thinks she sees Z and that he is more then an imaginary friend. Beth starts to remember things from her past when going through the house of her recently pasted mother. She to starts seeing things and believes that Z might be more then just an imaginary friend. The drawing Joshua makes on his wall of Z further the worry Beth has that Z is dangerous.

   I really enjoyed this movie. The story is one that has been told before and I did see some of the twist coming, but is told in a different way. You wonder through out the movie if  Z is imaginary, real, or even if Beth is just the one hallucinating the whole thing with her own metal illness. Like any horror movie they rely on jump scars, but there are more then jump scars that make it a good horror movie. The suspense of trying to figure out what is really going on will keep you watching till the end. The ending is not my favorite, but still didn't ruin what I thought to be a over all good popcorn Saturday night lights out movie. Z wants to play, but will he play nice?
