My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Returned (2013)

A wonderful twist on the zombie story, here a cure has been found and those who are infected can live a normal life as long as they keep taking their medication, a drug that is becoming difficult to make because it’s made using infected blood. Emily Hampshire plays the doctor involved with caring for patients and making a synthetic version of the drug. Her husband played by Kris Holden-Ried is one of the infected. To save him they decide to go on the run, taking a stash of the drug that should last them for a good while. This is more of a thriller than horror film but it’s a good one, even if made by a small budget. Just when you thought everything could be conceived in the zombie genre this Canadian production directed by Manuel Carballo gives us a fresh spin. If you like zombie films certainly check this one out. Grade: B+
