Rating: 2/5 -- Director Manuel Carballo seems to be trying for the psychological unease of Blindness, or perhaps of something by Cronenberg, but it's never more than artificial terror wrapped in bland social commentary. Full Review

Though an admirable shake-up of the typically overbearing, munch-intensive undead yarn, "The Returned" is still a far cry from the smarts-and-shocks zombie allegories George Romero mastered. Full Review

Rating: 8.0/10 -- Refreshingly intelligent, subversive and psychologically terrifying. It's much more than your average zombie film. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Carballo offsets the lack of surprise with such efficient suspense builders as propulsive music, ambient noise, realistic lighting and judicious handheld camerawork while efficiently explaining the science and politics behind what is happening. Full Review

Carballo also fails to capitalize on the climate of paranoia the script attempts to engender throughout. Full Review

A zombie movie in which the normal people are to be feared. Modest in scope, but very effective. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- This is a serious, austere film that feels as if it's barely restraining the B-movie within. In the end, it fights itself to a draw. Full Review
