The Cured (2018)

Blistering performances.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

So Ireland was devastated by zombies, but 4 years later a cure was found. The cured will not relapse but as they are re-integrated back into society they are largely hated by the never infected and treated very badly There is also a plan to euthanize the uncurable although there may be hope for a better cure. The cured are not unreasonably paranoid that the never infected want to wipe out the cured as well and so the cured plan to violently resist.So this is an Irish film and I can't help think this is a metaphor for the Catholic vs. Protestant troubles. The story reveals how various characters succumb to fear and hate while a few try to rise above it.I'm not really sure the film has anything insightful to say - just that fear and hate is poison that only makes things worse.

About 40 minutes passed and i was like "WTF, i gonna sleep here", the movie is slow, boring, isn't a good horror movie, and neither a good "zombie movie". Maybe it has some good acting, but... Oh, i almost forgot, the hand shaky camera sometimes is annoying too

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.
