In a world where a deadly zombie virus has infected mankind, a single cure has been found. The cure, a treatment called the "Return Protein" which stays the effects of the virus in its host. With injections every 36 hours, the "Returned" are able to live as though they were never bit, despite the virus still coursing through their veins. When it is discovered that the protein stock is running low, chaos hits the streets. Returned who run out of the protein turn to zombies and wreak havoc, protesters turn to murderers as they try to rid the streets of the returned, and right in the middle of it all are Alex and Kate. Kate a leading doctor in the field of zombie virus' and Alex a musician with a dark secret, he is a Returned. As death and fear run rampant, Alex's secret becomes known and his dosage runs low, he and Kate must fight for a chance to live before he becomes a zombie.
Leave your thoughts about The Returned.
| NPRTomas HachardZombies are a versatile source for metaphor, whether they represent a deadened consumerist society, a victimized minority or a worldwide medical disaster. In The Returned, they serve best as an unseen peril, one that's growing inside Alex and threatening to undo his and Kate's enviable existence. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThe concept of vigilantism zombie-style raises sympathy for the would-be monsters who just want a normal life, turning the genre on its ear. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanOne of the most original, entertaining, and creepy zombie movies of recent years. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferRefreshingly intelligent, subversive and psychologically terrifying. It's much more than your average zombie film. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...worthwhile, but could have been so much better with another polish or two. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthThere is something potentially special in the elements of The Returned, with its allusions to class and social structures, and stigmas held around people with certain afflictions. But it merely nods toward them with no commentary or depth. |
| RogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaIt is less of a horror flick and more of a suspense thriller with sci-fi elements that possesses both brains–some sacrificed in messy fashion, of course–and a heart, as it makes a statement about an imaginary social issue that reflects those conflicts facing our country today. |
| Toronto StarBruce DeMaraCarballo also fails to capitalize on the climate of paranoia the script attempts to engender throughout. |
| Globe and MailAdam NaymanThe Returned can’t transcend its packaging as a genre piece: It swaps out an entire set of horror-movie manoeuvres for trite, TV-style thriller tricks. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergThis is a smart, intense, and frequently tragic horror story. |
