Reviews:
“Between the poor script, poorly staged ghostly attacks and a cast that seems to have had their dialogue dubbed in The Zeme isn’t scary. And the comic relief scenes […] aren’t even remotely funny. It’s all one giant mess that feels like it was made by someone with no clue how to make a film.” Voices from the Balcony

MOVIES & MANIA says:
The cinematography and locations for The Zeme are fine even if the editing is unsubtle, to say the least. Unfortunately, the script, acting and post-synched ADR are all horrendous and none of the characters has any endearing qualities which make watching this movie a real challenge. The Zeme is entirely ill-conceived, very poor and definitely not recommended.
Our rating is half a star but Google doesn’t recognise less than one star.
