Can there actually be a fresh take on the zombie genre? PLEASE say there is. The trailer for a new film has just been released that gives us hope. The Cured, starring Ellen Page (Juno) has arrived and it looks like a lot of fun. The Cured seems to explore the idea of reintegration and trust when “cannibals” are cured and rehabilitated.
Official Synopsis: What happens when the undead return to life? In a world ravaged for years by a virus that turns the infected into zombie-like cannibals, a cure is at last found and the wrenching process of reintegrating the survivors back into society begins. Among the formerly afflicted is Senan (Sam Keeley), a young man haunted by the horrific acts he committed while infected. Welcomed back into the family of his widowed sister-in-law (Ellen Page), Senan attempts to restart his life—but is society ready to forgive him and those like him? Or will fear and prejudice once again tear the world apart? Pulsing with provocative parallels to our troubled times, The Cured is a smart, scary, and hauntingly human tale of guilt and redemption.
