1/4
The film struggles to bring its non-zombie characters to life. Go to Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion 3h
C-
Underwhelming...the attempt to combine undead mayhem and teen introspection proves neither terribly scary nor particularly insightful. Go to Full Review Charles Koplinski Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam 3h
3/4
Donald and Summers stress the morality of the story rather than its violence. Briskly told and with an ending that doesn’t disappoint, "Test" is a solid genre entry that shows that in the right hands, even a well-worn premise can still be effective. Go to Full Review Isabella Soares Collider 7h
6/10

[T]he movie becomes a shallow piece of horror melodrama. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat 22h
3/4
It’s The Breakfast Club meets The Walking Dead, and that general concept gives the movie a bit of freshness to match its gruesome horror. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
