The zombie genre is certainly alive and well these days. So how do you make another movie about the undead that has something new to offer?

The same applies to the zombies in Cargo, but it has two elements that do make it stand out: firstly it is a human story rather than a gore fest; and secondly it is set in the Australian outback.
