I Am ZoZo

Haven't watched a more trashy movie like this. It's the worst! Don't what it!

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.

A group of friends go out to a holiday home on an island on Halloween. The acting is fine and despite the well used setup it's actually pretty believable. The low key story about them playing around with an ouija board is quite good up to a point. The problem is that towards the end they seem to lose interest in telling a story and not a whole heap happens.

Talking slowly and drawling your words isn't scary either, it's just kind of annoying. As is the awful camera-work which bobs around constantly. It's also got the worst music imaginable, especially the last song. It made me laugh out loud it was that bad.

It's a shame there isn't more of a story here because I liked it until they lost interest in trying to scare me. Too much home movie and not enough horror for my tastes. Courtney Foxworthy (the witchy one) is definitely an asset to the movie though and helped me make it to the credits and that awful nasal song!

I stumbled upon this 2012 horror movie titled "I Am ZoZo" ten years after it was released. I had never heard about the movie, but I must say that the movie's cover was actually interesting enough. And with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the time to sit down and watch it.

However, I must say that the whole concept of a horror movie with a Ouija board as a focal point sort of have been done to the point of being redundant already. So I can't really claim that I was harboring much of any high expectations for "I Am ZoZo".

Writer and director Scott Di Lalla didn't manage to deliver a particularly interesting or entertaining movie with "I Am ZoZo". In fact, the whole movie was so insanely slow paced that it was quite a struggle to sit through, especially since a large portion of the movie was just footage of the actors and actresses sitting around the Ouija board and playing the game, asking questions and so obviously moving the marker around the board themselves.

Now, I don't give any notion to the Ouija board thing, as it is just a silly game. If there is such a thing as ghosts and spirits, why does it need people to hold their fingers on the marker? It is just downright idiotic that people actually buy into this concept. But hey, it did make for good horror entertainment at a time, but not so much anymore. And especially not so when the plot of the story is boring and laughably thin.

The movie felt like something that came out of the 1970s, with its dubious image quality of gritty footage and the camera being all over the place. That really annoyed me to the point where it was hard to get into the atmosphere of the movie.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate, although not memorable ones. The lack of a proper script and interesting dialogue and characters is to blame here.

For a horror movie then "I Am ZoZo" was a swing and a miss. And this is definitely not a horror movie I would recommend you waste your time on watching. Some of us suffered through this movie so you don't have to.

My rating of "I Am ZoZo" lands on a two out of ten stars.

This is the worst movie I have ever sat through and I regret it! I read a review that said it wasn't bad but it really is!

The acting is hilariously bad, with wooden delivery.The script itself could have been improved by a six year old.

The story is a been there, done that, over told Ouija board urban legend. The fact that this is supposedly based on real events is laughable.

The only thing this has going for it is some nice scenery and a fantastic soundtrack.Neither of these things is enough to save it.

The entire film relies on childish fears of the dark type of scares.

I would recommend you skip it.
