Reviews:

Highly recommended, and vastly superior to most of the genre.
Excellent performances and interesting source material (MR Carey adapting his own novel), plus imaginative direction (Scottish director Colm McCarthy), create a chilling sci-fi tale of hungries (zombies) versus humanity.

The opening sequence sets the tone. Melanie, a young, polite, and courteous girl manacles herself into a wheel chair. She seems entirely innocent and harmless, yet her captors fear otherwise. She and other children, each similarly restrained, are given an armed escort to a classroom. It’s an arresting start and it grabs our attention. Sennia Nanua plays Melanie and the story revolves around her. We watch society collapsing through her eyes, see her threatened by the human beings around her, and fear for her. We watch her do terrible things, and yet we root for her. Everything is uncertain. Nothing is as it seems. It’s a brilliant performance from a new talent, and it serves the film perfectly.

Melanie is surrounded by contrasting emotions from those nearest to her. Gemma Arterton is excellent as protective and caring psychologist/teacher Helen Justineau, fiercely defending Melanie against the machinations of Dr Caroline Caldwell (Glenn Close) who sees Melanie as a specimen to be dissected. Paddy Considine convinces as Sergeant Eddie Parks, a tough, no- nonsense soldier fighting a losing battle.

Colm McCarthy brings this all together superbly, belying the film’s modest budget. Striking visuals and frenetic action are never allowed to overwhelm the characters, who take centre stage. And at it’s heart is Melanie. Confusing, ambivalent, terrifying, lovable Melanie. It’s a wonderful turn from Sennia Nanua.

Highly recommended, and vastly superior to most of the genre.

A Surprisingly Fresh Addition to the Zombie Genre
The film opens with Melanie, a very polite young girl, strapping herself into a wheelchair at gunpoint. She and many other children are wheeled off to a makeshift classroom where they’re taught the periodic table and Greek mythology, before they’re each returned to their individual cells. Melanie also gets little logic problems from one of the doctors. She’s treated with fear, curiosity, and love from various different military personel. It’s not long before her curiosity gets the better of her and she finds herself topside in a military base surrounded by hungry hordes, strapped to an examination table. Who she is, why she’s important, and why she’s treated the way she is is left mysterious for quite some time.

The zombies themselves take a leaf out of The Last of Us. They’re caused by a fungal infection that completely takes over the brain and replaces it with the insatiable need to eat. Their primary sense is smell, allowing the soldiers to mask themselves with a blocking gel and enabling them to carefully navigate through the hordes without being detected. Being a fungal infection though, there’s more than just one stage, and the next stage holds the potential for the end of humanity. As zombie concepts go, this one is certainly one of the creepiest, and actually has a precedent in nature as well.

I was hugely surprised by the visual sufficiency of The Girl with All the Gifts. I figured it would just be another low-budget English production. Okay, that’s exactly what it is, but it doesn’t mean they scrimped out on the film’s visual quality. The CGI present is subtle and sparingly used, preferring to use and merge in-camera footage instead. The apocalyptic landscape on display is one of the most convincing apocalyptic landscapes I’ve seen, created by putting the overgrown scenery of Chernobyl across London’s skyline. It’s obviously been a number of years since the initial outbreak, so the city is overrun with trees and shrubbery. The cinematography is great as well though, with some inspiring imagery created with interesting uses of composition and lighting. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it looks particularly artistic, but it certainly has a good go at it. For such a bleak story in such a bleak setting, the movie looks really good (in such a bleak kind of way).

The music as well goes a long way to setting the scene, driven by haunting theremins as they swell and slide, backed by a simplistic orchestral arrangement. It’s unlike any soundtrack I’ve heard before, but fits the movie so well. I was actually disappointed that I couldn’t find it to listen to while I wrote this review. It knows when it be unsettling and when to be emotional, and at times even uses what you wouldn’t expect to give a different angle to the scene in question.

The Girl with All the Gifts is a solid movie in it’s own right, but it stands amongst the very best zombie movies. It certainly gives 28 Days Later… a run for its money, both in it’s use of it’s low- budget and it’s re-invention of the zombie trope. It’s another fresh new take on a genre perpetually at risk of going stale, but finding itself constantly injected with more creativity and imagination. I give The Girl with All the Gifts a solid 8/10, and would absolutely recommend it.
