Leave your thoughts about The Cured.
| The PlaylistElazar FineThere's a sneakiness to this film's first two acts, as if writer-director David Freyne is desperately trying to convince you that "The Cured" isn't headed for the zombie-movie third act that it obviously, inevitably is. |
| Backseat MafiaRob AldamDavid Freyne has created a social drama crafted within a genre film. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoAlthough the film always plays bigger than it is, Freyne continually keeps the conflict on an intimate level by keeping his focus on Senan, Abigail and Connor's whose differences with each other are articulated so intelligently and distinctly. |
| RTÉ (Ireland)Harry GuerinAs much about forgiveness as fear, [David] Freyne doesn't neglect the kitchen sink drama dynamic in the lost souls triangle of his three central characters. His film is all the better for that |
| Daily Express (UK)Andy LeaTense, creepy and layered with historical parallels, this could be the horror film of the year. |
| NerdlyMatthew TurnerThe brainchild of Irish writer-director David Freyne, this powerful and provocative post-zombie flick offers a fresh take on the genre, making it a must-see for genre fans. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyOver-ambitious perhaps, but Freyne’s intensely executed ‘infected’ fable packs tension, resonance, and clout. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Katy HayesThere's enough originality to give the film punch, and it's gratifying to see the Irish setting so well integrated. |
| Bloody DisgustingJoe LipsettSimilar to like-minded BBC series In The Flesh(...), The Cured is most interested in exploring how social cohesion is threatened when disparate people and divergent beliefs are put in a pressure cooker. |
| StarburstNick SpacekIn the end, The Cured is a film which will make the viewer think, jump at frights, and possibly cry twice during the last ten minutes. |
