Zombie Thriller The Returned is Now in Pre-production from Filmax International!

The Returned is a film from director Manuel Carballo (El Ultimo Justo). This is a zombie themed thriller from the European based Filmax International. Recently at the European Film Market, The Returned questions who is undead and who are the zombies. A temporary remedy helps some, but does not cure: "vaccine...which if injected within a few hours of infection, can stop the spread of the virus" (Filmax) promises to grey the area between living and dead.

So far, a film poster is available left and a short synopsis is below. This title is marked as being in pre-production. The one-sheet left states: "where only half way back." Available crew information are below.

The synopsis for The Returned is here:
