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.

“Thought-provoking and sometimes wrenching twist on the zombie genre.” – Roger Moore, Movie Nation

“This rehabilitation of walking-dead tropes comes with unusual resonances.” – Anton Bitel, Sight and Sound

“The Cured may owe much to viral shockers like 28 Days Later, but its political and personal insight elevates it alongside the best of contemporary European realism.” – Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle

“It’s a clever concept that’s fairly well executed … with tension that slowly boils to the surface as the zombies inevitably come back for a bite.” – Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter
