Our take
From French king of cool Bertrand Bonello, this endlessly mysterious chiller subverts horror tropes in unexpected ways, fearlessly unleashing suppressed demons. Boasting a sharp political edge, lavish visuals, and an ace synth score by Bonello himself, Zombi Child is a sublime slice of sinuous pulp.
