The Girl with all the Gifts (5 Stars)


This is a zombie film for people who don't like zombie films. A deadly virus has turned 99% of the world's population into mindless flesh-eating creatures. The infection spreads fast. One bite and the victim becomes a zombie within minutes. There's no known cure.

At least, there's no known cure yet. Dr. Caroline Caldwell is researching into a cure in a military facility in central England. The key is a group of children that the army has captured. They were all babies in the bellies of pregnant women shortly before giving birth at the time when their mothers were infected. The children are different to other zombies. They're flesh-eaters, but they're intelligent and can talk.

Helen Justineau, played by Gemma Arterton, is a teacher who educates the children. She's particularly attached to Melanie, the girl who shows more intelligence than any of the other children.

The army base is overrun by zombies, and only six people escape: three soldiers, Dr. Caldwell, Helen Justineau and Melanie. Together they have to fight to survive against overwhelming odds.

The film has action and suspense, but it's also full of heartbreak and emotion. This is what all zombie films should be like.
