The Returned (Season 1)

The Returned (2015) is a supernatural drama you can watch online on iFILM. In a quiet mountain town the dead start coming back — people who died years ago simply walk home, unaged and unaware that they were ever buried.

For their families it's a miracle and a nightmare at once. Young Camille returns to a mother who had learned to live with the loss; former lovers, widowed spouses and grieving parents all have to make room again for the ones they let go. As the town adjusts to its returned, unsettling signs keep piling up, and one plain truth surfaces: coming back is less a gift than a question with no answer. The cast includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Mark Pellegrino, Jeremy Sisto and Michelle Forbes.

This is the American take on the cult French series Les Revenants, holding onto the same cold, melancholy mood instead of cheap scares. One ten-episode season, with Vincenzo Natali among its directors. Best for fans of slow, atmospheric horror closer to Lost than to a zombie shoot-'em-up. Stream The Returned online on iFILM.
