In Paris, 55 years later, at a prestigious all-girls boarding school,  Melissa, a young Haitian teenager, confesses an old family secret to a group of new friends - never imagining that this strange tale will convince a heartbroken classmate to do the unthinkable.

"A good modern "folk horror" film with a solid looking presentation. This release is a nice throwback to the Val Lewton films of the 1940's."

— Armand P. (4/5)

Art house horror

"‘Zombi Child’ is a leisurely paced but compelling French horror film that possesses art house cinema leanings. Its content is both disturbing and enigmatic in equal measure."

— Lee B. (5/5)

Unsettling new zombi take

"Zombis through exhaustion and suppression. Finale was creepy. Beautifully shot and really immerses you in the setting. I had an issue with the subtitles being displayed so shortly that I could not read them in time. It happened about halfway thru the film. Will have to investigate further whether this was the Blu-ray or my player."

— Thomas F. (4/5)

Excellent presentation of great movie

"Bertrand Bonello is one of my favorite working filmmakers and I'm very thankful for this release, which boasts a gorgeous presentation, both in fidelity and packaging."

— Ivan D. (5/5)
