The Girl With All The Gifts - This pulled me in just from the imagery of the muzzle alone. I immediately thought of Fido and hoped for another good film with a unique approach to the undead. I got what I was hoping for, and then some. This is not a zombie flick filled with action or even that much gore, but the character development, the post-apocalyptic world, and characters are all worth checking out.

... View MoreThis movie is best going into with as little fore knowledge as possible, because when someone tells you the genre of this movie, your preconceptions will almost certainly skew your expectations and experience.This is not a typical movie in its genre. It's a lot smarter and more thought provoking. While there are thrills, and lots of suspense, it's done in a much better way that is of service to the characters and the story, creating a slow build of dread rather than cheap jump scares.A very good movie with excellent acting and casting. Sennia Nanua, who plays Melanie also did a phenomenal job, Gemma Arterton was solid as the protective and caring teacher Helen Justineau. Glenn Close was also good as the Doctor prepared to do almost anything to find a cure for the disease.The whole cast did a very good job and the music complimented rather than overpowered the movie.Worth seeing and I have watched it more than once.
... View MoreA truly amazing performance given by everyone in this movie, Moving background music that seems to fit perfectly, A new and interesting take on the Zombie apocalypse genre. Based on the book of the same title by M. R. Carey.My only nit pick is the moldy zombies (hungrys) costume/ make up was not Spectacular but they still did an amazing job considering it is not CGI and there would have been sooo many actors/actresses who would have to have the intense bubbly makeup put on. i imagine this would have taken quite some time. However the outstanding performances and general feel given from the movie far out weighs the negatives. I highly recommend watching this film.I am not sure if the reference to Ancient Greek Myths is used in the book but it is brilliantly used in the movie.This one goes in my personal 'best movies of all time' list.
