Watchable...
While I had indeed never heard about this 2025 zombie movie titled "Silent Zone", then given my love of all things zombie, of course I had to check it out, without the shadow of a doubt.
Writers Viktor Csák and Krisztián Illés put together a fair enough script. Sure, for a zombie movie, then it was somewhat generic. But it still proved entertaining nonetheless, so the movie did what it was supposed to do.
There wasn't a single familiar actor or actress on the cast list, which is actually something I do enjoy whenever I watch a movie. The acting performances in the movie were fair.
The snarling sounds that the infected, or zombies, made was just downright stupid. It just added a very unnecessary comedy element to the infected, and thus taking away from what was supposed to be scary.
Something that definitely was interesting in "Silent Zone" was that writers Viktor Csák and Krisztián Illés actually put in a small boy turning into an infected. That is usually something zombie movies tend to stay well clear of, so that was a nice touch.
However, the zombie make-up and effects left much to be desired. This was ultimately a low budget zombie movie and it showed. I wasn't particularly impressed with the effects in the movie. I've seen worse low budget zombie effects, of course, but the effects in "Silent Zone" were nothing to write home about.
Some of the music in the movie borrowed a bit too heavily from the iconic "28 Days Later" theme.
"Silent Zone", despite of having a title that made zero sense to the contents of the movie, was a watchable zombie movie, but nothing out of the ordinary. There are far better zombie movies out there.
My rating of director Peter Deak's 2025 zombie movie "Silent Zone" lands on a five out of ten stars.
