NeilJThomas 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.

redlilac I AM ZOZO, based on true events, is a well-crafted cautionary tale for any person thinking of communicating with the spirit world. In his movie about five friends experiencing a sinister presence while using the Ouija board, writer/director Scott Di Lalla plays off the audience's expectations of the horror genre, drawing anxiety from our assumptions. He lingers on moments of suspense building the tension as the audience waits for what would be the obvious scare in any mainstream movie. He has a sense of humor about the genre and a confidence in his ability to generate greater fear by giving his audience's imagination room to play. It's a credit to the movie that despite the opening sequence, which reveals a group of kids being tormented while using the Ouija Board, and the use of Tess in the asylum as bookends to the story, the experience of "meeting" Zozo is still unnerving.Di Lalla has created a visually stunning movie by choosing shots that not only capture the carefree youth of his characters but add a ghostly atmosphere: the group arriving at the island, the aftermath of their dinner party, Tess in flashback. It's these moments of young Tess that add an ethereal quality to the story and fragility to her character.Darren Wayne Evans tells Tess she needs to let go of Zozo and the events on the island. This coupled with the conversation Tess has with Mel after her first night on the island leaves the audience wondering how much of the torment is in her head. Did an evil spirit really orchestrate the events or has Tess slipped into madness? This is an experience that will leave you unsettled whether or not you believe in Zozo.

ho-olako The concept was intriguing, and when we read the reviews we figured it was worth a shot! However, the reviews stating it's "excellent" and a "must see" had to have been written by the production company or the actors. I will give credit to the one who said it was eerie. This movie had a lot of build and a fair amount of potential. Unfortunately the characters were, as one reviewer put it "cliche" and there was a lot of build to nothing. The movie ends as abruptly as it begins, no premise, and only a veil of closure. The attempt at character building sort of trails off immediately, only to pick up clumsily in the middle of the movie, at a point where it seems like they were just trying to throw in filler, or some clumsy bridge to tie the fumbling opening scenes and clumsy ending together. All in all, this would be a complete waste of your time to watch, unless of course you have insomnia.

aarontherol "I Am ZoZo" is a brilliant 8mm psychological horror that left me speechless.The film offers some edge of your seat moments and is extremely creepy.The small cast of actors is truly excellent,with Kelly McLaren being especially memorable in the lead role.The direction by Scott Di Lalla is well-handled and the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous.The scenes are wonderfully eerie. I was not bored in the slightest;I was extremely curious and intrigued. The house where the film takes place looks incredibly menacing and isolated. How the director pulled off shooting the entire film in 8mm format is mind blowing... "I Am ZoZo" is a must see for any film fan
