Prediction: The Returned (movie)
Shiri’s Prediction: Much like the ever developing arsenal of anti-vitals can manage HIV into a chronic disease, a drug called “the Return” can coral zombism into same (and I’ve always been convinced the the current popularity of bloodborne/blood related supernatural phenomenon like zombisim and vampirism stem, at least in part, from a fear of incurable blood borne illnesses like HIV and Hep C). Cool concept. Could do a lot with it. I predict this movie won’t. Another excuse to throw a female main character in front of a camera and pretend she’s a protagonist. No fault to the actress. That’s the way this whole thing seems to work. I predict annoyance at medical inaccuracy, boredom, and ultimately, a total waste of money and a couple hours I wouldn’t ever get back.
Luke’s Prediction: Interesting concept. A bunch of actors I know from somewhere, but can’t place. And Canada. I smell a small budget horror flick. Now, there are some great, great films in that category, but I get the feeling from this preview that the concept of zombism being a controlled disease is going to get lost in the terrorist activity and running around.
But, I have hope. I am hoping they play with the idea and have a few more tricks up their sleeves.
Don’t know if I will catch it in the theater, but on video or on-demand, sure.
