Cargo (2018)

Brings nothing new to the apocalyptic table. Just follows the same basic outline they all do: something wipes out a big chunk of humanity, we follow some survivors, at least one of "our" survivors dies, they run into somebody/some group that turns out to be evil, they run into somebody/some group that turns out to be decent, and -- finally -- there's hope.

I think I'd have been OK with the basic trajectory, if only Freeman were at all compelling or likable. Or maybe it's that the disease was so confusing... the afflicted want to eat the survivors, but also hibernate against walls in the dark, and bury their heads in the sand (literally), and have something that looks like orange marmalade stopping up all of their head holes, AND they're on a strict "48 hours before I'll be no longer human" countdown after getting bit. Just way too complicated/dumb.
