Martin Freeman gives one of his strongest performances to date as a father desperately trying to get his baby daughter to safety in the middle of a world-ravaging zombie apocalypse.

Considering how gummed-up the zombie genre is, this sedate, character-driven effort is quite the breath of fresh air indeed, keeping the action and brain-munching to a minimum yet offering up a unique spin on zombie mythology in its place.

Bolstered by its rural Australian setting and an uncommonly emotionally engaging narrative for the genre, Cargo is one of Netflix's strongest horror offerings released this year, and an absolute must-see if only for Freeman's searing, subtle performance.
