Would you bring a former infected person into your home after a zombie-like outbreak? That's the question at the center of The Cured, a new film starring Ellen Page. After premiering on EW, we now have a look at the official trailer for The Cured that raises moral questions and unleashes a cannibalistic outbreak.
Written and directed by David Freyne, The Cured stars Ellen Page, Sam Keeley, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, and Paula Malcomson. IFC Films will release The Cured in theaters and VOD platforms beginning February 23rd.
Synopsis: "What happens when the undead return to life? In a world ravaged for years by a virus that turns the infected into zombie-like cannibals, a cure is at last found and the wrenching process of reintegrating the survivors back into society begins. Among the formerly afflicted is Senan (Sam Keeley), a young man haunted by the horrific acts he committed while infected. Welcomed back into the family of his widowed sister-in-law (Ellen Page), Senan attempts to restart his life—but is society ready to forgive him and those like him? Or will fear and prejudice once again tear the world apart? Pulsing with provocative parallels to our troubled times, The Cured is a smart, scary, and hauntingly human tale of guilt and redemption."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
