First Official Trailer for ‘The Girl With All The Gifts’

Well, just when you think the zombie genre is becoming over-saturated, along comes Colm McCarthy’s The Girl With All The Gifts, to remind us that the sub-genre still has some life in it yet. The film is based upon M.R. Carey‘s novel of the same name, so if you’ve read it let us know what you think. Anyway, the trailer looks awesome, and some have compared it to the video game The Last of Us, I’m yet to play it so I’ll have to let you tell me if it resembles that or not?

The film stars Sennia Nanua, Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close, and Paddy Considine.

Synopsis: The near future; humanity has been all but destroyed by a mutated fungal disease that eradicates free will and turns its victims into flesh-eating “hungries”. Only a small group of children seem immune to its effects.

At an army base in rural England, this group of unique children are being studied, subjected to cruel experiments by biologist Dr. Caldwell. Despite having been infected with the zombie pathogen that has decimated the world, these children retain normal thoughts and emotions. And while still being subject to the craving for human flesh that marks the disease these second-generation “hungries” are able to think and feel making them a vital resource in the search for a cure.

The children attend school lessons daily, guarded by the ever watchful Sergeant Parks. But one little girl, Melanie, stands out from the rest. Melanie is special. She excels in the classroom, is inquisitive, imaginative and loves her favourite teacher Miss Justineau.

When the base falls, Melanie escapes along with Miss Justineau, Sergeant Parks and Dr. Caldwell. Against the backdrop of a blighted Britain, Melanie must discover what she is and ultimately decide both her own future and that of the human race.

At this time we have no word on a release date in the US, but for you guys in the UK, you can check this one out this September 23, 2016.
