Plots(1)
Senan (Keeley) has been through hell. When the plague swept across Ireland he was among the thousands afflicted and rendered into rabid ghouls. Senan did horrible things he cannot forget - and neither can the public, nor the authorities charged with policing those released from captivity. Senan's sister-in-law Abbie (Page), however, is willing to give him a second chance. She lets him live with her and her young son, believing that Senan's actions while infected were beyond his control. But as an angry anti-cured movement burgeons in tandem with an increasingly radicalized pro-cured movement, Abbie is forced to question just how far her trust should be pushed.

The Cured is an interesting zombie flick about the “cured” and the impossibility of their return to society, which leads to
them sympathizing with the imprisoned and yet uncured unfortunates… The British setting is reminiscent of Danny Boyle’s 28
Days Later and the Irish revolutionary spirit together with the entire psychological level of the film suggests a great
representative of this particular genre. The ending, however, doesn’t rise to expectations – after all the talking, fans of
the genre won’t be satisfied with so little zombie action. [Sitges FF]

I thought that the Irish-French production The Cured was just a boring movie that simply plodded along. It could have been engaging. However, it leaves the viewer cold, which is quite a shame because the synopsis of this movie seemed like a step in the right direction. In the end, however, the whole premise fell off a cliff and died a horrible death.
