They Came Back (French: Les Revenants), known in the UK as The Returned, is a 2004 French horror drama film directed by Robin Campillo in his directorial debut.[1] The film was screened at the Hamburg Fantasy Filmfest in Germany, the Venice Film Festival in Italy, and the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada.
Unlike the typical zombie film, in which the physically deformed undead compulsively feed on or otherwise harm the human population, the physically normal undead in They Came Back seek only to reintegrate themselves into the everyday life of the small French town where they formerly lived, or so it seems.[2]
