The injection has to be given every 36 hours to the infected if they don't want to "turn". Soon enough it is discovered that the supplies of the virus are running low and chaos engulfs the streets. Those who aren't receiving the medicine start turning into zombies and start wreaking havoc. In the middle of this chaos are Alex and Kate. Kate is a leading doctor in the field of zombie viruses and Alex is one of the Returned. Alex's secret becomes known and the dosage of his medicine runs low. He and Kate have to fight for a chance to live before Alex becomes a zombie. This has to be one of the best zombie movies out there. This is not a horror movie, but a thriller, and a damn good one! It is a very intense movie, and it keeps the viewer engaged from the start till the end. There are some horror elements and there is some gore in The Returned, but that is not the main point of the movie. Everyone who is a fan of zombie flicks should see this one, it reinvents the genre in an interesting way and makes it even better than it already is. Definitely see this movie, it can not disappoint!
