Z

Haunting and extremely atmospheric, Z buzzes madness and malevolence from every frame in its dark and shivery maternal nightmare that shockingly evokes The Babadook. Loving parents Beth and Kevin get a little more than they bargained for when their eight-year-old son begins acting out at the alleged behest of his new imaginary friend, Z. Slowly they realize that Z isn’t exactly what he seems when strange, violent events begin happening, putting everyone in grave danger. (Popcorn Frights Film Festival)
