WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A disease that turns people into cannibalistic monsters has swept the continent, but a cure has just been discovered. Those that were once infected still harbour traumatic memories of their violent acts, and are shunned and discriminated by society, including Senan (Keeley) who himself is returning to normal life with the help of his brother’s widow Abbie (Page)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Ellen Page stars in and produces this intriguing new take on the zombie movie, which carefully and intelligently explores what would happen if an outbreak did happen, and those infected were soon cured and brought back to their normal lives.
