- Crazy creditsThere's a special message from the director towards the end of the credits that reads "Brandon Christensen would like to thank his wife Alissa for her inspiration for Z. She has had a hard few years to say the least, but her strength and has [sic] kept our family running smoothly. He would also like to thank his parents Rod and Brenda for once again letting him live with them while he makes another film."

Featured review
This concept, at its core, is not the most original, revolutionary thing you have ever seen. However, the way it developed in the third act did feel quite fresh and interesting. Unfortunately I feel as though they cut it off a bit prematurely, just before they could have done something really cool with it.
This movies biggest flaw was its script. It really did the movie as a whole some detrimental disservices. It felt very cliche and underdeveloped and left the actors little to work with. A particularly positive aspect of this movie was its scares. You will likely never see me say this again because I normally hateee this, but the jump scares were quite good in this. They didn't feel cheep and were timed and placed with purpose and finesse.
Although overall this lacked a bit of originality, regardless it still had an interesting twist on a storyline that was maybe a bit familiar... feeling a little similar to Come Play and Babadook. Would recommend.
