        Fresh take on the zombie genre with a new step in their evolution showing up. The premise is interesting and make for a wonderfully unpleasant and atmospheric beginning. The images of nature claiming back the cities are also great, players of "The Last of Us" will certainly appreciate those. Unfortunately there are some character developments in the last act that do not seem to fit to the earlier film. That doesn't ruin the ending but leaves you much less satisfied than the really good first half of the film.

        If you want an example of Idiot Plot, there you are, a derivative zombie movie in which basically all characters must act like complete imbeciles otherwise there would be no movie; besides, it is full of the worst kind of exposition and ends like an almost glorification of "idiocracy."

        Before The Waking Dead came along, people thought the zombie subgenre was dead in the water. The zombie films for the most part just weren't able to capture the right tone and essence. So even though there's been a million of them and most of them are much of the same thing, I always appreciate the ones that bring something new and fresh to the genre. The Girl With All the Gifts does just that. The British post-apocalyptic film takes place after most of the world has been decimated to due to an unknown fungal disease, with only a few military bases left. The twist here is that on this military base is a group of second generation children who are infected with the disease but are under control of their senses for the most part. That is, when they aren't smelling human flesh. After several life threatening sequences, a few soldiers, a teacher, and one of those second generation children (named Melanie) embark on a trek to get to the next safe zone, with their base being overrun by zombies (or hungries as they call them). Melanie, a seemingly more intelligent and aware child, forms a special bond with the teacher, named Helen Justineau and played by Gemma Arterton. This is the one human connection that I think is worth caring about. Since you don't get much backstory on the soldiers, including one played well by Paddy Considine, you are almost forced into caring for the two. And that's the one thing I was constantly hoping we would get more of, character depth and backstory. It just becomes difficult to figure out who you're going to root for when you don't have much in way of their backstory to think about. With that said, I appreciated that this film involved a different approach to the zombie genre. Yes, there is the subplot involving someone looking for a cure (which is always something that comes up) but the more calculated approach to the pacing, and reserved display of gore, The Girl With All the Gifts feels like a fresh entry into the genre. Heck, have we ever had our lead character be an second generation infected child? Just by those standards this was something original. 7.1/10

        An exceptional cast which you don't normally see in a low budget zombie movie. Close and Arterton are brilliant as the supporting antagonists and protagonist but as a zombie movie it really doesn't work for me.
