A Mixed Bag in the Zombie Genre
This movie ventures into the familiar territory of post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested worlds, delivering a film that, while not groundbreaking, offers moments of genuine engagement.
The narrative centers on Cassius and Abigail, survivors navigating a world decimated by a zombie outbreak. Their routine existence is disrupted upon encountering a pregnant woman, propelling them into a perilous journey that tests their resilience and moral boundaries. This setup introduces compelling ethical dilemmas, adding depth to the otherwise standard plotline.
Matt Devere's portrayal of Cassius stands out, infusing the character with a stoic determination that resonates on screen. His performance adds a layer of gravitas to the film, elevating scenes that might have otherwise fallen flat.
Visually, "Silent Zone" makes effective use of its setting, capturing the desolation of a world overrun by the undead. The cinematography, while not particularly innovative, serves the story well, creating an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty.
However, the film is not without its shortcomings. The pacing is uneven, with certain sequences dragging on, potentially testing the viewer's patience. Additionally, while the characters are serviceable, they lack the depth that would make their struggles more impactful.
In conclusion, "Silent Zone" offers a familiar yet moderately engaging experience for fans of the zombie genre. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but provides enough moments of tension and solid performances to warrant a viewing.

A relatively entertaining zombie flick
Silent Zone is a solid movie. My only gripe is a few slow parts. It's not a high budget movie but they did good for whatever amount they had to work with. Some of the other reviews are unjustly harsh. A 4, 5 or 6 star rating is correct for this one anything higher or lower is unfair. Except for a few slow parts it was quite entertaining and holds your attention. I liked how the zombies were able to "think" to a degree. It gave a nice twist on the zombie genre. The acting is not exceptional by any means but it is passable except for a couple moments of cringy acting. I probably wouldn't watch a second time but I do not regret watching once.
When Low Expectations Lead to a Great Surprise
Okay, I have to be honest-when my friends and I sat down to watch Silent Zone, we fully expected a disaster. We're big fans of watching B-movies together, the kind where the plot's a mess, the acting's rough, and the fun comes from laughing at how bad it is. We grabbed snacks, got comfortable, and were ready for some low-budget, post-apocalyptic nonsense. But here's the thing... Silent Zone actually surprised us. And not in a "so bad it's good" way, but in a "wait, this is actually kind of decent?" way.
Sure, the setup is classic B-movie fare. It's the usual post-apocalyptic world, a deadly outbreak, desperate survivors, and the struggle to find safety. Nothing new there. But somewhere along the way, the film actually hooked us. The tension was solid, and there were at least three twists that none of us saw coming. Not groundbreaking stuff, but just clever enough to keep us invested. The story might be familiar, but it never felt lazy. In fact, it felt like the filmmakers were actually trying, which is more than I can say for a lot of movies in this genre.
The characters? Surprisingly good. We went in expecting cardboard cutouts, but they had depth. By the end, we actually cared about what happened to them. And yeah, I'll admit it-I got a little emotional in the final act, which is not what I thought would happen when I hit play.
And Matt Devere? Never heard of him before this, but wow. That guy has a seriously cool voice. The kind of voice that makes you pay attention. He brought this calm, tough energy to his role, and honestly, it really worked. No idea why I haven't seen him in more stuff, but he definitely stood out here.
By the end, we all looked at each other like, "That was actually good, right?" Maybe it's because we went in with zero expectations, but Silent Zone turned out to be a solid, enjoyable movie. It's not just a film to make fun of-it's one that's actually worth watching.

Watchable...
While I had indeed never heard about this 2025 zombie movie titled "Silent Zone", then given my love of all things zombie, of course I had to check it out, without the shadow of a doubt.
Writers Viktor Csák and Krisztián Illés put together a fair enough script. Sure, for a zombie movie, then it was somewhat generic. But it still proved entertaining nonetheless, so the movie did what it was supposed to do.
There wasn't a single familiar actor or actress on the cast list, which is actually something I do enjoy whenever I watch a movie. The acting performances in the movie were fair.
The snarling sounds that the infected, or zombies, made was just downright stupid. It just added a very unnecessary comedy element to the infected, and thus taking away from what was supposed to be scary.
Something that definitely was interesting in "Silent Zone" was that writers Viktor Csák and Krisztián Illés actually put in a small boy turning into an infected. That is usually something zombie movies tend to stay well clear of, so that was a nice touch.
However, the zombie make-up and effects left much to be desired. This was ultimately a low budget zombie movie and it showed. I wasn't particularly impressed with the effects in the movie. I've seen worse low budget zombie effects, of course, but the effects in "Silent Zone" were nothing to write home about.
Some of the music in the movie borrowed a bit too heavily from the iconic "28 Days Later" theme.
"Silent Zone", despite of having a title that made zero sense to the contents of the movie, was a watchable zombie movie, but nothing out of the ordinary. There are far better zombie movies out there.
My rating of director Peter Deak's 2025 zombie movie "Silent Zone" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Wait for it to come out on prime
I can't even believe that I paid $5 for this movie. The fights are terrible, the "bleeding" is even worse, and the acting is really bad!! The make-up is really bad too...one part in the beginning was a woman who got bit on the face and it looked like she dipped her face in dirt or rocks. The availability of vehicles for the all too hurried escape time after time was really really bad. I get it that everyone wants to make the perfect zombie movie but it's ridiculous that the "hero" is some guy who blames and blames everyone else because something didn't go to plan as he would of liked. I love zombie movies but this one isn't good at all.
