Review of The Returned (2013)

So I was in the mood to watch a zombie movie with my friend. So we popped up Netflix and this is what caught my attention. I have noticed it before, but never really made the time to sit down and watch it. I was quite impressed with this little gem. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting. That being said it still was quite an intriguing and fresh idea. The main women were attractive. All the characters were quite well rounded. I loved the main couple. There was something I felt should have been more explored with the Returned killers, but otherwise I was quite taken by this film. There isn't too much in way of zombie action, although I didn't find it too necessary for the style this movie was going for.

Pros:
-A fresh idea to an old mythology
-Zombies are my favorite
-Interesting characters and some decent acting
-The ending was fantastic

Cons:
-Too short
-Some plot devices could have been expanded

The ending left room for a sequel. One that I'm sure would be quite different to this, but it would still be quite entertaining. It also kind of reminded me of the movie The Mist because of the ending. I would definitely watch this again.
