The Returned (2013)
6/10
Smart Zombie Fear with a Twist
16 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This wasn't your typical zombie movie. There are barely any zombies in the movie, but that's all right. It was a good story with a few great twists to make it a very watchable film. The idea of a society with a zombie population kept in check with drugs - drugs that are running low - is thoroughly scary and intriguing. The story was solid and human because it showed what people will do when they are desperate and scared. The acting was really well done, too. My only problem here was with the subtitles: why was the nurse described as the "black nurse"? That wasn't necessary at all. And the final twist was a heart-breaker. *SPOILER ALERT* It reminded me of Stephen King's "The Mist." Overall, this was a really enjoyable, smart movie.
