The Returned Ratings & Reviews
Daniel Gustavsson
October 12, 2024
Just seems like your run of the mill zombie flick. It isn't. It's a fantastic and serious movie so don't get fooled by the premise.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A zombie movie in which the normal people are to be feared. Modest in scope, but very effective.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
The Returned is a zombie movie without the zombies, generating scares through social commentary and human nature, which actually makes for a welcome change of pace.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Refreshingly intelligent, subversive and psychologically terrifying. It's much more than your average zombie film.
The Playlist
Kevin Jagernauth
Marred by obvious plot developments...and a disappointingly lazy reliance on the very clichs the movie mostly tries to avoid...The Returned is never quite clever or confident enough to become the subversive zombie film it wants to be.
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
Carballo offsets the lack of surprise with such efficient suspense builders as propulsive music, ambient noise, realistic lighting and judicious handheld camerawork while efficiently explaining the science and politics behind what is happening.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
The Returned is sort of about prejudice and paranoia, but for the most part, the social commentary is as absent as the action, with both taking a back seat to clever conceptualizing.
NPR
Tomas Hachard
Pivotal scenes dive too deep into melodrama, and there's something inevitably sterile about a script that includes only scenes that propel the plot or provide obvious foreshadowing.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Though an admirable shake-up of the typically overbearing, munch-intensive undead yarn, "The Returned" is still a far cry from the smarts-and-shocks zombie allegories George Romero mastered.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Doesn't overwhelm, but it manages a smart tone of dread mixed with panic, reviving stale elements by attacking the subject matter from an unusual point of view.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
One of the most original, entertaining, and creepy zombie movies of recent years.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
...worthwhile, but could have been so much better with another polish or two.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
The concept of vigilantism zombie-style raises sympathy for the would-be monsters who just want a normal life, turning the genre on its ear.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
This is a smart, intense, and frequently tragic horror story.
Village Voice
Rob Staeger
Carballo squeezes an impressive amount of exposition into news reports and medical briefings, but Holden-Ried's and Hampshire's performances are what ground the film ...
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Manuel Carballo's film proves that the zombie narrative is still capable of subversion, but does so with the laziest, Lifetime-grade intimations of social relevance.
