If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

"Cargo" is an Australian short film from 2 years ago and it is evidence that it is still possible to bring something and refreshing to the genre of zombie films, even with so many movies and television series out there, especially very recently "The Walking Dead" of course. We see a man who has a little baby daughter and who got bitten by another zombie apparently and is about to transform himself. In an act of kindness he does all he can to save his little kid from himself and the other zombies out there. It's a nicely atmospheric movie, has some emotion and heart that is otherwise rare for the genre. I would not call it great or truly memorable, but at a really short runtime of 7 minutes, it was a good watch and I hope that Yolanda Ramke, who wrote and directed this one, can have a good career in the future. Same goes for her co-director Ben Howling. Thumbs up and a must-see if you love zombie movies. And still a good watch if you don't. And you won't have to be able to speak English as there is no dialogue in here.

A father comes to in his car, strapped into the seat next to him his wife has become infected but in the back seat his baby daughter is fine. With a zone nearby known to be safe from infection, the father sets out to ensure safety for his baby girl no matter what the cost.As Theo has already said, the zombie horror genre is a pretty regular one in the genre of short films and, although I personally get scared quite easily by them, it is a genre that can easily feel tired and overused. It is to Cargo's credit then, that it creates something that works really well and doesn't rely on the usual jump scares or clichés of the genre. Here our setting is a zombie apocalypse but really the film is about love of a father for his child and this aspect is what keeps the interest and ultimately moves. The simple idea is delivered without any dialogue but yet the determination and the fact that the father never thinks of himself is really nicely shown.If I had a complaint it would be that the music is a bit too obviously tragic and the final shots of sitting on the hill with the baby is a little corny, but the concept delivers the feels even if the specifics such as these are not what I would have liked. The genre is used to deliver something more than the norm and it is moving and memorable for what it does.

This is short movie, was really good, it only 7 min long A guy wakes up in his Car, there is a baby crying in the back ground and seem to come around. the look of it, he as been I a car crash, as turn to look at his wife Then she that become some kind of zombie but lucky for him she still in her seat belt.As the rest of short, is about the father trying save is baby but he turn into zombie as also find out he as been bitten.which was really good and really effect, even it's just 7 mins it's well short, it was well acted and the plot really moving and Make up effect for zombie was really good. I going to give short 8 out of 10

Cargo is a 7 minute movie, so It's difficult to discuss much about the film without giving away too much of the story. What I can say is that this (short film) was crafted by very skilled hands by people who take film making seriously. The acting, concept, directing, script, special effects are all top notch. While shot on what I'm sure was a shoe string budget, It is more polished then a great deal of the movies coming out of Hollywood these days. The story is about a Father and his infant daughter who find themselves in a very dire situation and some quick thinking and a lot of luck are going to be required to see any kind of semblance of a happy ending. The film is free of Nudity, foul language, violence (on screen), or adult situations. Individuals 13 and older should have no real issues with watching this 7 minute film. I give it 10/10 because it truly is an example of great film making.
