It's cool that even with all the zombie material we've gotten in the past decade-ish, we still are getting some original spins every now and then. There are things in Patient Zero that were new to me, and new or not, Stanley Tucci was great. But some nuggets of originality in a genre that often lacks it is not the same as a movie being good. And Patient Zero does have some really dumb things. I had an okay time with it, but I don't think I'd ever revisit it.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
