Topic	I'm going to watch a Horror Movie every day in October
PrivateBiscuit1 12/08/20 12:40:29 AM #438:	Z On Shudder So I have a backlog of movies I want to discuss, but I watched this last night and wanted to immediately throw this ahead of the rest. Because it's REALLY REALLY good. Z is about a child who says he has an imaginary friend named Z. The child starts to act out more and become more violent, and soon the mother thinks she's seeing her son's imaginary friend. If you guys remember Still/Born and how I was raving about that, get ready for more of that because it's by the same director. And if you think this premise is similar to Come Play... you're also right. And Z came before Come Play, and I feel like Come Play actually may have stolen some stuff from this movie, oddly enough. But more about the movie: Z and this child are fucking scary. The director has such a grasp on how to make tense scenes work, how to shock you, just how to chill you at all times. I'm so surprised at how effective this was. Z, itself, when you do see it (which is saved for special occasions only and NEVER overused), is just such a scary presence. This movie also pulls no punches on violence and you're just... ugh, some parts just make you want to cringe, but it's all for the service of a really damn good ending. Shockingly good, even. The story isn't tremendous, but it does such a good job with what it has. It really, really does do so many good things with the story to lead you to a memorable finale. I can't praise this film enough for everything is does so very well. I compared it to Come Play before, and I think that comparison is still more than fair. But while Come Play gives you sincere quality through having loads of heart in this movie, this movie goes the opposite direction and tries to tear your heart from your chest. Come Play has very minimal violence, and Z will just mess your day up. Overall, I think they're very similar movies taken in two different directions. This is an outstanding film though, and I recommend people check it out. Rating: 8/10 --- I stream sometimes.
