About this product

Product Information

The recently dead return to life in French film THE RETURNED. The 'zombies' seem content merely to go back to their former lives, but their return causes a myriad of complications. Studies soon reveal that the dead suffer from a form of aphasia. They cannot create new memories, and they cannot be trusted to perform any but the most menial tasks. Perhaps sensing the discomfort they cause the living, the dead gather together at night, and seem to be formulating some kind of secret plan.

Additional InformationThe recently dead return to life in THE RETURNED, but they are surprisingly uninterested in feasting on the living. Many of them are, naturally enough, elderly, and they seem content merely to go back to their former lives, but their return causes a myriad of complications. The directorial debut of Robin Campillo, his 'zombie' movie quietly examines the individual and societal impact the dead have on the small French city -- just one of many similarly afflicted throughout the world -- to which they return. Isham (Djemel Barek) and Veronique (Marie Matheron) have their trepidations, but they're generally happy, at first, to see their little boy Sylvain (Saady Delas), and the town's elderly mayor (Victor Garrivier) welcomes home his wife, Martha (Catherine Samie). But Rachel (Geraldine Pailhas), a government health official, cannot bring herself to visit her newly returned husband, Mathieu (Jonathan Zaccai), at the ad-hoc shelter where the government houses the 'zombies' like refugees. Eventually, she relents, and Mathieu returns home, but the living find that their loved ones are not exactly as they remember them. Studies soon reveal that the dead suffer from a form of aphasia. They cannot create new memories, and they cannot be trusted to perform any but the most menial tasks. Perhaps sensing the discomfort they cause the living, the dead gather together at night, and seem to be formulating some kind of secret plan.
Reviewsthoughtsonfilm.co.uk - This is drama tinged with an eerie sense of dread than it is a horror fest of Romero flesh-eating proportions.
