Cargo (2013) is the short film that inspired the fantastic Cargo (2017) starring Martin Freeman and is a hugely condensed version essentially of the same plot.
It in 7 minutes tells the story of one mans desperate attempt at finding help for his baby daughter during the zombie apocalypse after he himself is bitten and has mere hours before he turns.
If you have watched the feature first then you will likely go in with expectations that couldn't possibly be met. However if you take it for what it is, a simple hyper quick short version of the story with a quaint modified version of the features finale then you may find enjoyment.
This was also written/directed by the same people who would go onto do the feature movie four years later and honestly it shows.
The Good:
Heart wrenching
The Bad:
Finale was stretched out a bit far
Oddly paced
Things I Learnt From This Short:
Moral of the story, don't have kids. Though honestly that's the moral of every story including the tale of life itself!
