I felt dead after watching this so how do I return from the undead to the living? Dunno, except it seems that the virus turning humans into zombies will never be a dead (or is it undead?) genre in the money making film dead world. Lots of cheap film making "talking heads" camera time w/a very few fake blood on mouths scenes to remind us what is suppose to be going on.

As it was said, it's not original. I think it's more inspired by 28 DAYS LATER, where people where infected and not zombies. Zombies by definition are undead, and the Cured here were been cured from a virus. Said that, I believe there is a massive plot hole in the movie, and quite a terrible one. When there is a virus around, if u have the cure, you vaccinate people ok? So e.g. you were vaccinated against the chickenpox so you won't get sick. Now in the film they had found a cure for the virus and they don't think to vaccinate the whole population to prevent another outbreak? Why would you inject the antivirus only to the sick people? Tz tz, after that thought I simply skipped to the end.

An interesting story overall and some neat ideas woven into it. Unfortunately cliche does take over and poor decisions (to say the least) of the main characters make this annoying to borderline unwatchable at times. It's a shame because it does look like you have a good cast, but even they struggle to make their choices seem believable.Ellen Page has some gravitas to what she is doing, but even she falls victim to doing exactly what you predict any (wrong) thing the others are going to do too. By the way a man of the law showing up completely without any backup should really not be a thing anymore. This is beyond insulting to the viewer and ridiculous at best ...

It may have been done before, but frankly, what movie isn't a spin on something done before? The acting was fantastic, the plot was interesting, and engaging, and the location was unique and added to the film as a whole-cinematically. Give it a chance. Ellen Page always floors me with her range, and this movie was a wonderful portrait of her talent. I couldn't say who the 2 main actors are-as I'm not super familiar with Irish cinema, but they too were outstanding. Highly recommend.
