      Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail A novel if earnest cross-genre thriller. Rated: 3/4 May 26, 2017 Full Review Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter An ambitious next-generation spin on the found-footage genre, Population Zero starts out like an indie version of a true-crime TV news magazine and turns into a horror-tinged drama with a topical slant. Mar 23, 2017 Full Review Anton Bitel Sight & Sound if the story that Pinder pursues seems incredible, nonetheless he uses his experimental form to expose a different kind of truth that is actually very close to his interests as a documentarian. Feb 18, 2017 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Overall, "Population Zero" is a film with an interesting subject but an execution that loses steam until that one scene near the end. Rated: 2/5 Apr 19, 2020 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots This low budget film is a shrewd, rebellious work of art that takes a complex idea and executes it exceptionally well. There's much to admire in its ambitious spirit. Rated: 3/5 Dec 20, 2018 Full Review John Townsend Starburst Population Zero edges towards disappointing its audience, but is interesting enough in its early stages to make it a worthwhile watch, and certainly one of the better mock-documentaries you will come across. Rated: 6/10 Sep 13, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

      Joshua J I rented this thinking it was a documentary. I hated the "documentarian right away and was furious when I realized it is fake. I am embarrassed that I got so far in. Jokes on me, but this is pure garbage. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review John K Stupid! If you're a fan of documentaries you're a fan of facts. There are none in this movie. Not a true story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/19/22 Full Review Audience Member The documentarian is the typical douche bag narcissist who has to make the film about him. The last 30 minutes are almost unwatchable as this self indulgent dbag gives us all his personal b.s. and waaaaay too many shots of his ugly face with his monstrous nose. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review dave s There is a good chance that most viewers will respond with "huh" at the end of Population Zero. Not a "huh" with a question mark and not a "huh" with an exclamation mark – just sort of a resigned "huh" to signify a bit of confusion. There's no doubt that the story itself is interesting, but it's hard to figure out why it was done as a mockumentary, which usually works best in satires or horror flicks. It becomes evident fairly early that these are actors and from that point on it becomes a bit of a distraction wondering why it wasn't done as a straight-up thriller. Regardless, there's enough here to keep things interesting, but the ending, while probably morally correct, leaves you thinking "really? This is what this thing is all about?" Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent! With a twist that no one expects....not even at the end. It's one way to get the truth out. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A very fun, creative and intriguing film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/20 Full Review Read all reviews
