The Returned (2013)

A Spanish-Canadian (what?) zombie thriller.  What I liked about this is that it's really not a zombie film, it's more about what happens after the zombie outbreak is contained.  A vaccine is developed that doesn't cure the virus but holds it off...and it has to be taken every day or anyone infected still becomes a zombie.  Supplies run short and what happens next?  Surprisingly little gore, but plenty of intrigue.

8/10 book tours.

JEDIT: Forgot to mention this bit of weirdness.  There is a nurse who happens to be black.  In the credits she's listed as "nurse."  But I watched this on Netflix, and the subtitles keep calling her "black nurse."  Uh, okay.
