Cargo (2013)
6/10
Something new for the genre
16 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
"Cargo" is an Australian short film from 2 years ago and it is evidence that it is still possible to bring something and refreshing to the genre of zombie films, even with so many movies and television series out there, especially very recently "The Walking Dead" of course. We see a man who has a little baby daughter and who got bitten by another zombie apparently and is about to transform himself. In an act of kindness he does all he can to save his little kid from himself and the other zombies out there. It's a nicely atmospheric movie, has some emotion and heart that is otherwise rare for the genre. I would not call it great or truly memorable, but at a really short runtime of 7 minutes, it was a good watch and I hope that Yolanda Ramke, who wrote and directed this one, can have a good career in the future. Same goes for her co-director Ben Howling. Thumbs up and a must-see if you love zombie movies. And still a good watch if you don't. And you won't have to be able to speak English as there is no dialogue in here.
