The re-integration of zombies into human society is something that is usually played for jokes. Not so for The Cured, which is about as self-serious as a zombie movie can get. It is mostly upheld by some solid acting, but I still was only half interested in The Cured. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
