"The Girl With All the Gifts" is a British zombie horror film that manages to bring something quite unique to a nearly-exhausted genre. Directed by Colm McCarthy ("Peaky Blinders") based on the book of the same name written by Mike Carey (who also pens the script), the film envisions a dystopian future in which humanity is almost extinct, wiped out by a fungal infection that turns people into flesh-eating zombies.
Humanity's hope lies in a group of hybrid children who crave flesh, but retain normal thoughts and emotions. One little girl in particular (Sennia Nanua) may be the only chance humanity has and must be protected at all costs.
The film was nominated for a BAFTA award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. The cast also includes Gemma Arterton, Paddy Considine, Glenn Close, Fisayo Akinade, Anamaria Marinca and Dominique Tipper.

Official 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."
