Before The Waking Dead came along, people thought the zombie subgenre was dead in the h2o. The zombie films for the nigh part simply weren't able to capture the right tone and essence. So even though in that location's been a million of them and nigh of them are much of the same thing, I e'er appreciate the ones that bring something new and fresh to the genre. The Daughter With All the Gifts does just that.
The British mail service-apocalyptic film takes place after most of the world has been decimated to due to an unknown fungal illness, with only a few armed services bases left. The twist here is that on this military base of operations is a group of second generation children who are infected with the disease simply are under control of their senses for the most office. 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 expedition to get to the side by side safe zone, with their base being overrun by zombies (or hungries every bit they telephone call them). Melanie, a seemingly more intelligent and aware kid, forms a special bond with the teacher, named Helen Justineau and played by Gemma Arterton. This is the i man connection that I think is worth caring about. Since you don't become much backstory on the soldiers, including i played well past Paddy Considine, you are almost forced into caring for the two. And that's the 1 thing I was constantly hoping we would get more than of, character depth and backstory. It just becomes hard to effigy out who you're going to root for when you don't accept much in fashion 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 upwardly) but the more than 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 2d generation infected child? Just by those standards this was something original.
