Zombie season just never seems to go away, how many times can we be subjected to the same old story? However, with the trailer for Cargo starring Britain’s own Martin Freeman, it looks like we are about to witness a more cerebral story.

As seen in the trailer, the father, played by Martin Freeman, has to venture into rural Australia as he looks for any human life along the way.
