The Girl with All the Gifts (2016)

Personally, I don't feel that the world needed any more shot-on-digital post-apocalyptic fuggin zombie movies, but I concede that a case could be made for TGwAtG. Penned side by side with its novel version (2014), author and screenwriter M.R. Carey's drama puts a disturbing biological spin on the condition. It's a shame that visually the film brings nothing new to the table.
Swarming zombie hordes (herein called hungries) are a dull and overused device. But the thinking characters, despite a baffling colour-swap, are well-cast and perform admirably, particularly young Sennia Nanua as bitey Melanie, surely the most challenging role of all. Melanie exists in-between; while she appears human on the outside, she's something less (or more?) on the inside.
As adaptations go it's very faithful, which is a positive thought to end on.
