Title (Year): The Returned - Les Revenants (2012, 2015) Age: 12 yearsGRS Rating: 3 of 5
Infractions: Violence and blood Comments: Mysteriously, dead individuals of a small Rhône-Alpes town begin returning. These, sometimes, long-dead individuals don't recall dying. Understandably, the living town people have trouble coping. Meanwhile the water level behind the dam is dropping and the sewer system is behaving poorly. Is there a correlation? The idea of the French TV program is clever. I did tire of the execution, despite the Skins influences. It seemed aimed at English-speaking audiences because of the violence & armed police and replicas of an American diner and an English pub (really, an American bar). It's too bad because this idea could have been really good. |
