Very good approach, you don't quite expect the way the movie goes, worth watching.
Not the typical zombie movie. The storyline is a group of kids are being held and studied as they carry the virus that has turned most of the population into zombies but are able to think and behave as normal. Fun to see the adults being afraid of the children, despite having all the weaponry. Well worth viewing if you enjoy a British production with a different perspective in a well covered genre.
The near future humanity has been all but destroyed by a mutated fungal disease that eradicates free will and turns its victims into flesh-eating “hungries”.
Only a small group of children seem immune to its effects. At an army base in rural England, this group of unique children are being studied, subjected to cruel experiments by biologist Dr. Caldwell. Despite having been infected with the zombie pathogen that has decimated the world, these children retain normal thoughts and emotions. And while still being subject to the craving for human flesh that marks the disease these second-generation “hungries” are able to think and feel making them a vital resource in the search for a cure.
The children attend school lessons daily, guarded by the ever watchful Sergeant Parks. But one little girl, Melanie, stands out from the rest. Melanie is special. She excels in the classroom, is inquisitive, imaginative and loves her favourite teacher Miss Justineau.
When the base falls, Melanie escapes along with Miss Justineau, Sergeant Parks and Dr. Caldwell. Against the backdrop of a blighted Britain, Melanie must discover what she is and ultimately decide both her own future and that of the human race.
Critic Reviews for The Girl With All The Gifts
“A wicked, gory and even occasionally funny take on George A. Romero.” – Barry Hertz Globe and Mail
""The Girl With All the Gifts" doesn't really venture into new territory, but it does a decent job of reminding us why zombies are so scary, and so interesting." A.O. Scott New York Times
“It's got some future-world smarts that sporadically elevate it above the junk that dominates this genre, and they help carry it through the routine spatter-and-gore moments and sci-fi clichés.” Robert Abele Los Angeles Times
