20 Hidden Horror Gems On Netflix
9. Cargo
Martin Freeman is Martin Freeman in every movie he appears in, but at least in this one he's Martin Freeman with some genuine emotional intensity behind him, playing a father desperately searching Australia for someone to look after his daughter.
An epidemic has swept the country and left the duo surviving amidst the usual swathes of zombies, but it doesn't take long for Freeman to suffer a bite. What do you do when you've sworn to protect your baby, but will be rendered a monster in 48 hours?
Cargo is an interesting deviation into character-driven horror, where one man's plight to do the right thing is constantly faced off against impossibly unfortunate circumstances. It's better than The Hobbit, at the very least.
