The Girl With All The Gifts (2017) - Good To Go If So!

★★★☆☆

There’re basically two sorts of zombie films. One is all serious to make you think. The other is just ridiculous to make you puke or laugh. ‘The Girl With All The Gifts’ is the former, like ‘World War Z’, and ‘Train To Busan’, made to upset us by forcing us to think about how much humanity’s worth, how far we would go to just survive and stay hopeful, and who we really think we are while facing devastating crisis or madness.

‘The Girl With All The Gifts’ is a decent zombie drama to check out though it may lack enough thrills that a zombie horror is supposed to deliver to some. It’s done a pretty good job in light of set design that looks so real, and score that’s absolutely spooky! Scares however, are rare. The opening is sure intriguing but the ending may not be so pleasing if you don’t feel like bringing it to an end is another brand new start!

The film raises a big question in the end, ‘why should it be us (zombies) who die for you (humans)?’ Well, I guess it’s okay that we humans are to be wiped out if we’re already on the course of dying out because that’s what we deserve, just like the dinosaurs and anything before that. Things always get what they deserve, nothing more or less. There’s nothing to complain as a matter of fact. The Earth may be a far better place without us. Who knows? We’re nothing but parasites temporary here living with many others side by side. We’re never above anything, and nothing’s ever ours.
