Z Fest

About This Movie

Z Fest (2017) is a bizarre blend of comedy and horror that really nails the awkwardness of a hangover during a zombie apocalypse. The atmosphere is a mix of lethargy and impending doom, with Pablo's struggle to shake off his massive hangover providing a darkly humorous contrast to the chaos outside. Ruth's secret adds another layer, creating tension amidst the absurdity. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it works in its favor, allowing those comedic beats to land while heightening the absurdity of their obliviousness. Practical effects are charmingly low-budget but effective enough to maintain a certain cult appeal. The performances have a raw, relatable quality, making the characters feel real despite the outrageous situation. It’s a unique take on the genre, worthy of a spot in a collector's shelves.
