1/4
The film struggles to bring its non-zombie characters to life. Go to Full Review Charles Koplinski Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam 27m
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 4h
6/10
Writer-director Adam MacDonald's latest effort surprisingly balances zombie chaos with coming-of-age dynamics, making it more hopeful than most dystopian entries. Go to Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies 5h
