A unique and surprisingly entertaining take on the zombie genre. This is a somewhat dark and realistic idea of what would happen if zombies were cured and were forced to reassimilate back into society. Things go about as bad as you'd expect and the main antagonist who also happens to be one of said cured infected is surprisingly menacing and convincing in his role. I absolutely love the idea of the infected being able to remember every morbid crime they committed while under the influence of the virus, it opens up the possibility to really dwell into the mental anguish and regret of the characters who have been cured of the affliction. A lot of people seem to really dislike the open ended and unresolved ending of the film but i think it's meant to represent the unsure future of all of humanity and their relationship with the formerly infected individuals, I think it's a nice change of pace from the usual happy ending... not everything is sunshine and daisies people!

Let’s face it: the Zombie genre died with Romero. Everything else is pretty much crap with very few exceptions. This films try hard to bring something new to the genre but it simply fails

The constant background noise makes it hard to truly connect with the characters I was truly disappointed because the concept was brilliant but not executed. In my opinion if only they had focused more on what happened and then the solution to what happened this movie had the potential to be absolutely great. I hope it's re done, as I said the concept was brilliant and original.

Slow movie but at the end it got better with action and suspense.

The plot of the movie made it seem like it was a decent movie, however the one thing that really ticks me off is when they hire the wrong sound mixers for the movie. I could barely hear the actors speak. The background noise and music drowned out the conversations between the actors. I turned the movies off about 16 minutes into the film. I myself am an amateur video editor. Weddings, short films etc. I personally can see how important it is to get the right level of sound in. To watch an important film made with a decent budget, it's amazing to me how they can get something so simple like this so wrong.

Overall the story was set up great up until the end. The Cured was a much different take on a zombie apocalypse, however it lacked a crucial component of zombie flicks: violence. Sure, there were people being shot, shown dead and whatnot, but it was quite sad that anytime a zombie would attack someone who wasn't infected it would cut right before to a new scene. The movie contained so many cuts that you'd think it was some YouTube video instead of a legitimate film. Yes, there's zombies feasting on dead bodies, but that is not nearly enough to satisfy my need. The ending was another big problem. It failed to wrap up the main villain's story, leaving it a major loose end, and also abruptly ended the climax before it was even finished and left the movie with an ambiguous ending. If you're looking for a great zombie film, Danny Broyle's 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead (2004), or even seasons 1-6 of The Walking Dead will better satisfy your needs.

Somehow original in lieu of generic zombie movies.

Very nice movie with a very deep storyline showing how ex zombies would be treated by society, the film is super entertaining and not boring at any point. The acting is good and the action scenes although few are well done.

Boring and dragged on and on. It was also very predicable.

While not perfect, it has a unique theme and a very effective atmosphere that keeps it engaging, even if I would have preferred less action and more low key drama in the final act.

Very different perspective of story-telling. Pace a bit slow to my liking. Really not sure that is a cure if the side-effect as such. Good memory maybe the side-effect, emotional zombie. Zombie or terrorist movie? Zombie rights?

I am reading many negative reviews from fans, but I really liked this movie. It is much deeper than people realize.

Excellent expansion to the typical zombie narrative but the finale was fairly open-ended and overly familiar. Bonus points for casting Elliot Page alongside somber star Sam Keeley.

Years after a virus ravaged Europe, society battles with what to do with 'The Cured'. The Cured are people who were once zombies but have now regained control and are looking human again. The only issue is that many of the cured still retain the memories of what they did while infected with the virus. Some want to see them integrated back into society while others would seek to have them destroyed as if they were still blood thirsty creatures. Tired of the abuse they're receiving and unable to get decent jobs anymore, some of the cured are looking to rise up and take back what is rightfully theirs by any means necessary. The zombie genre is very obviously over populated with cliched films but this is the first to come along for quite some time that has some brains (pun definitely intentional) behind the writing, especially regarding character development. There are still jumps and scares scattered throughout but at it's heart is a look at character psychology and how we treat those who are different, even if they were previously loved ones. It's a thought provoking piece rather than just another throwaway zombie movie that even has a gut punch of an ending that will leave you questioning what would you do.

"The Cured" ha il merito di ritagliarsi una nicchia poco esplorata in uno degli ambiti che ha prodotto più film negli ultimi anni. Nella prima parte però, la trama stenta a svilupparsi, limitandosi a raccontare i pensieri e le condizioni dei principali personaggi; si tiene quasi tutta l'azione per il finale, dove, seppur con qualche dubbio di trama, si riesce a creare un finale interessante.

I went into this movie not knowing what to expect, which is saying something, since the zombie genre has been done to death and is almost always predictable. This movie had an incredibly oppressive and suffocating feel to it, it reminds me of the 2015 film "Maggie" staring (if you can believe it) Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both of these films shine a light on the wider consequences of such a plague, rather than the disease itself. In this film, it focuses mainly on the sociopolitical environment of a post-zombie plague outbreak, which I find incredibly interesting. I also thought the actors (even the little boy) did an amazing job. I would absolutely recommend this film.

This film should have been called "The Bored". I fell asleep watching it the first time, and when I did finish it, I was highly disappointed in the ending. The ending gave no closure and is very anti-climactic. Ellen Page is the only person in the film with any acting ability at all. The rest of the people's acting is quite bad.

Interesting premise and I love Ellen Page. But it's so slow moving and somber and with such quiet dialogue that my attention keeps drifting away from it and I have to keep rewinding cuz I didn't hear what somebody said.

The ending was "meh", although kind of sad. The movie easily kept me glued to it the entire time, though. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the movie.
