Reception
editCritical reception for the movie has been mixed, with most reviews either being solidly positive, praising the film's unique look and suspense, or very negative focusing on its lack of story structure or expected horror violence. Christopher Gibson of trulydisturbing.com proclaimed I Am ZoZo "the coolest movie I have ever seen about a Ouija board."[4] horrophilia called the film "a visually stunning arthouse picture."[5] roguecinema.com gave the film a B, calling I Am ZoZo a "good little supernatural thriller"[6] with assignmentx.com finding that "the film has a look that harks back to the ‘70s and early ‘80s, when all kinds of crazy stuff was scaring people in the cinema."[7] themortonreport.com offered a mixed review calling the film both "frustrating" and "a visually interesting film from start to finish."[8] Shock Till You Drop panned the film, saying that while they liked the idea of shooting the entire film on Super 8, there was little else they enjoyed about the feature.[9] JoBlo.com and Bloody Disgusting both gave scathing reviews,[10] with JoBlo.com saying that it "fails on almost every discernible level" and that they did not recommend it.[11]
