Patient Zero

Patient Zero is part horror movie, but also part study of a new junction, in a genre that might as well has been dried up as much as the corpses in The Walking Dead.

In this movie, the cast is pretty ambitious, with stars such as Matt Smith and Stanley Tucci. They take their roles seriously, which adds to the atmosphere and credibility of the people, the zombies, and Matt Smith who is part of both, siding with the humans. The movie zooms in less on terror effects, but all the more on the intelligence, motivations and coherence of this new zombie breed.

In Patient Zero, the watcher with at least some attention span, will be forced to wonder: who the zombies are, why they are and what they want. Not all questions will be answered, but the fact that this movie raises those questions, is a success on its own. Is this a very good movie? Absolutely not. Is it an interesting movie, that will leave you wanting to know more? Yes. Maybe this movie would've been better as a series, but for now, this movie succeeds in being pretty damn interesting, in a dried up genre.

I've seen far worse Zombie movies than this one. It's not as bad as some of the reviewers on here make out. The genre I guess has been done to death, but this movie has a couple of original story points that make it watchable.

I really can not understand the hate for this movie. So many 1 star "Reviews." Having been a IMDB user since the early days, I am used to seeing all sorts of strange reviews, but never have I seen such misplaced hatred for a reasonably good movie. Understand me, this is not a "Great" movie, however, it is competent in every way, and there are many many worse movies! This is more a psychological movie than an action movie. It could almost be a live theatre piece. For what it is worth, I enjoyed it, possibly the worst thing was Mat Smith's "American" accent, but it's not worth the hate.

I don't know what it is nowadays but many films I see just don't end [properly. They neither finish the story or hint that the story continues - they just come to a stop - which is what this one does. There is little build up and then - stop - thats it.

Apart from that I don't think the film is as bad as the low reviews it has received on here.

it is worth watching but won't demand much of you.

This movie was fairly well acted and unfortunately did not utilize Stanley Tucci enough. The story was promising as the infected could actually communicate, which makes for an interesting Zombie film. Despite a great premise and strong actors it could not save this movie from poor writing. The movie was painfully dull at times and felt flat. The ending seemed as if they just cut the tape at a random point. If they are thinking making a part II they should pass.
