Just wanted to see Ellen Page in her newest movie, but this one was so boring to watch.
What can I say about this movie? Well... boring, unoriginal and waste of time. The acting was good, but unfortunately it couldn't save it.
The film itself is ok. It's a bit slow but picks up towards the end. Overall it's rather bland really.But what I wanted to point out is that this is not a fresh idea. It's been done as a BBC mini series a few years back called "In the Flesh" and a film quite similar as well called "The Returned". And this iteration or spin is the less of the three.
So Ireland was devastated by zombies, but 4 years later a cure was found. The cured will not relapse but as they are re-integrated back into society they are largely hated by the never infected and treated very badly There is also a plan to euthanize the uncurable although there may be hope for a better cure. The cured are not unreasonably paranoid that the never infected want to wipe out the cured as well and so the cured plan to violently resist.So this is an Irish film and I can't help think this is a metaphor for the Catholic vs. Protestant troubles. The story reveals how various characters succumb to fear and hate while a few try to rise above it.I'm not really sure the film has anything insightful to say - just that fear and hate is poison that only makes things worse.
