Why so much hype?
Such a frustrating disappointment
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
If you believe that such a movie can in any way be spoiled (it can't) then know that this review contains spoilers at the bottom.I wish I could give this a 0 rather than the minimum 1 star.I don't even understand why it's classified as "Horror, Thriller", as it contains no horror and no thrills. Also no suspense, no scares, no plot twists, and no special effects of any kind... The *presumed* "evil" (what?) in the movie is simply suggested, and absolutely nothing of any kind happens.If you watched this without knowing the title, genre or synopsis, you would come to the conclusion that you're watching a group of people filming themselves while on a weekend trip (to a remote cabin, of course) where they get so drunk they start scaring themselves after using a Ouija board.In case you're still wondering: definitely. no. horror OR thriller.The only blood you see here comes when one of the characters cleans a fish before cooking it; there's no violence of any form, nobody dies (on camera) nobody gets as much as injured.The acting is as bad as it comes, the directing is awful, and you just won't believe how bloody silly the ending is.It's also filmed in the style of - and with the unsteady hand of - a "found tape" movie, however the actors never interact with whoever is holding the camera or acknowledge their presence, which makes the experience just weird and unlikely from the get go.Don't bother watching it, you'd regret it ==== "spoilers" after this===Reason breaks down at the end, when one of the protagonists, revealed to be in an asylum (and playing the cello) says:"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BOARD? NO-ONE CAN FIND IT"to which another character (glimpsed briefly at the beginning of the movie but never introduced, for the love of zozo) replies:"I'm here, I'M GOING TO TAKE THE BOARD WITH ME"... so, yeah, not all that difficult to find was it?1st, psychiatric institutions will absolutely not allow you to keep an object (or be in a situation, if at all avoidable) that causes you anxiety or fear, so the board would be an absolute no-no.2nd, I've yet to see a psych hospital that allows you to play a musical instrument (she's not even supervised by staff), but the setting is American, so they might, in Europe forget it.
This film is just awful. I've never felt so compelled to write a review on a film before, but I am Zozo or Are You There? is probably the worst horror I have ever seen. Literally nothing happens in the film, no jumps, no scares, nothing flying across the room or unexplained phenomenon? The acting is dreadful, the characters are boring and dull and the music is all over the show. I don't think the film was supposed to be a cam film but it looks like the cameraman had a skinful before filming with his home entertainment set, maybe he had some of that "super moonshine" with them.Seriously, how have some people rated this as a 10? You must be very very easily scared. Give this a miss people unless you want to waste 90 minutes and then a further 20 scratching your head in disbelief.
I AM ZOZO, was, for starters, a greatly themed film. The idea behind the film was creepy (a little reminiscent of the film Witchboard); though the film fell short on the plot and the action that every horror film buff/spectator/novice expects from a film like this. If I were rating this film on the performances, the musical score and the location that was chosen to shoot the film, I would have honestly gave this film a 9! All the actors did a fantastic job conveying their characters, even in the most simple forms. The musical score of the film made me want to soundtrack to it, while the location where the film was shot made me want photos of it...but unfortunately, a horror film cannot survive on just those factors; the delivery of the action plot needs to fit the intention and that is why the film falls incredibly short in its appeal and ratings. Otherwise, kudos to the film crew, the performers and the musical score. I'm sure the performers did all they could to save the film.
I was intrigued by the premise of this and with a score of 8.6 I had to check it out. Right off the bat, the acting is terrible and the characters cliché. Despite this, I kept watching waiting for something scary to happen. I dozed off shortly after the Ouija board came out. The only thing scary about this movie is the time I wasted before deciding I couldn't watch it anymore. As a lifelong fan of the horror genre, I have had my hopes dashed innumerable times by cheesy, cliché', non-scary movies. It's disheartening. So what if this movie was shot on super 8? Content this bad would stink on any format. Delve into the band Mars Volta and their experience with a Ouija board. It's far more interesting.
