Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

dbdumonteil It was the first time a director had tackled the "living dead" subject in a realistic way,without falling into the routine of the fantasy and horror treatment.One has never got the feeling of watching another "night of the living dead" rip off.The problem of this ambitious movie is that it is too ambitious.Instead of focusing on ONE character ,it tries to tell us the story of several characters who rose from the dead and the treatment is too superficial and too diffuse to involve us.Who ,after all ,has never dreamed he meets again one of his faithful departed alive as you or me?I had never asked myself this question when I saw all those story like movies involving people risen from the dead.The writers often boils down such an extraordinary thing to problems of employment or of temperature (about 32°C,if we believe them).Absorbing subject but the movie is not up to scratch.Too bad.Worth a look ,if only for its originality.

ThrownMuse This is a sci-fi/drama where the recently deceased all over the world return from the grave. The film focuses on a French town and how the authorities work to integrate the "returners," most of whom are elderly, back into society. While the "returners" seem to be sedated versions of their former selves, they also seem to be healthier than they were before they died. Central to the story is Rachel, whose is in denial of her husband's return. The acting and camera-work are both very stellar in this artsy film. At times, an eerie atmosphere is successfully created. There is something inherently creepy about a bunch of older people walking slowly together as if on a mission. The bird's eye "body temp" shots are also very unsettling. Unfortunately, that's really all there is to this excruciatingly boring movie. It took me two days to get through it because I kept falling asleep. Nobody in the film asks any of the most intriguing questions. What about people who were cremated or whose bodies were missing? Did they return? The returners' bodies apparently just appeared in-tact one day above their graves and then they were claimed by relatives or sent to special housing units. When the movie ended I had no idea what happened throughout any of the movie, so thumbs down on this one. It had so much potential but didn't do anything with it.

jasonalexanderpark I rented this movie expecting an "avant-zombie" film, and ended up with a healthy dose of philosophical inquiry. The premise is the return of thousands of newly dead residents to a small French town, and the logistical problems involved with having to make room for them. Some return to their previous jobs, relationships, and families, while the strays are housed and studied in a barracks type hospital. Everything about the "zombies" seem to suggest that they are capable of living relatively normal lives, except for their strange activity at night, surplus of energy, and lower body temperatures. Everything except their complete lack of emotion and spontaneous thought. Instead they rely heavily on past memories and mimicked speech in order to function. As the film approaches its end, those living members who have welcomed their dead relatives back are left empty and confused. Eventually, the undead simply escape to tunnels, are shot down, or simply vanish, leaving the viewer, as well as the characters in the movie wanting for more. My feeling about this film is that it is trying to make the statement that "bodies" themselves are not us. Though "they came back" they really did not come back. That is- the soul or the essence that makes someone who they are is not simply the body, but something far more, and that never came back.

leplatypus When I give "1" to a movie, it means it's an execrable one and I have no intention to waste any more time with it! Just know that the dead are coming back. The action is originally located in a small French town. Thus, leaving the "horror" side, it concentrates on the psychological & social effects on the alive! Problem: when the alive lack even more emotions than the dead, you simply got nothing: no dialogues, no interaction, no story.... Geraldine Pailhas confesses it on the making-of: " If I live this situation for real, I would laugh, cry, speak, stay silent, be happy & be terrified, but HERE, the director wanted no feelings".So, as I said in another review, sometimes the dead should never come back !!!!
