Review of The Girl with All the Gifts (2016) by Makaveli C — 27 Sep 2018

273. The Girl with All the Gifts. A cool zombie movie that doesn't do the same thing every other zombie movie does, ok except for, you know, a virus, apocalypse, military base being overrun, and a group of survivors being killed off one by one, and of course zombies, but in this they're called 'Hungries'.

This one however has Glenn Close, no more boiling bunnies for her, its time now to experiment on children!! So, in this ZombiVerse, its been quite some time since the virus appeared turned people into flesh eating monsters, and it focuses on a military base and scientific studies on children who were born to mothers after the infection, and in fact, they all ate their way out of the womb, creepy right?? Strange thing is, the second generation of Hungries are, well, normal, they think, they learn, and when given the chance they will eat your face off on instinct.

So as the base is overrun a few military personnel escape along with a couple scientists with their star zombie pupil Melanie, to find help and to survive. And out in the world, the virus is evolving, and it might just be Melanie's time to shine! I really liked it, kept true to the zombie genre, and introduced a slightly new twist, well, I hadn't seen before.

.. I mean there was the mall zombie baby in Dawn of the Dead...but... I dunno... Filmbufftim on FB.
