Critics Consensus

The zombie apocalypse genre is crowded with clichés, but The Cured sets itself slightly apart with some extra BRAAAAAAAAAAINS and thematic depth.

3/5

My tolerance for zombie acting and zombie drama in the style of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later is never all that high, and the tropes are a bit familiar here.

It breathes fresh life into the decaying, cliché-crowded zombie genre with its eye-opening realism whilst using the "cured" zombies as a metaphor to explore themes of guilt and forgiveness.

If you want to read the review I wrote for this, go to letterboxd.com/HankIsDead514. I can no longer post long reviews on here and I'm not writing two separate reviews for the same movie.

I'm a zombie movie and series fanatic. I found this movie never really captured my interest. There were varying story lines that didn't receive enough attention or explanation

I loved this. A LOT. It feels like a sequel to 28 Weeks Later. A must watch!

A v slow burn, and with little reward. Should have been a short on Ch4. Not worth a full hour and a half

REALLY WELL DONE AND WELL ACTED FILM THAT HAS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THE ZOMBIE FLICK. Original.
