User Review

  • For years now, zombie-related stories have been the rage on screens big and small. Whether telling the on-going story of a group of survivors (AMC’s "The Walking Dead") or a one-shot of a father protecting his daughter ("Train to Busan"), these stories always focus on how their central characters seek to survive the zombie horde rather than using the pack as a means of looking inward to our own faults or abused responsibilities – an approach often preferred by horror master George A. Romero. Netflix’s latest original feature "Cargo", written by Yolanda Ramke and co-directed by Ben Howling, falls in the path of the latter, opting for a story that largely shuns zombies and places humankind’s humanity in the crosshairs.
