Critics Consensus

The Girl with All the Gifts grapples with thought-provoking questions without skimping on the scares -- and finds a few fresh wrinkles in the well-worn zombie horror genre along the way.

2.5/5

Shows like The Walking Dead reign over The Girl With All The Gifts because the breakdown of society, how people fully function within it is the core of the story.

Might be the most inadvertently appropriate analog to life in 2017's increasingly unstable world.

It's really the big picture of the film that sets it apart.

The power of the film, though, and its relevance, isn’t just in its message of acceptance, but in its vision of the terror that potential acceptance provokes.

(Overall Rating: 3.25/5) (Good) --- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 4/5) Great makeup, great sound design and solid camerwork/shots all supplement each other well. --- (Storyline/Plot: 2.75/5) The whole film just felt rushed and this is a rare occasion where the film could have been longer to explain things. Also so much left out from the book. Inconsistent infected triggers. --- (Acting: 3.5/5) Sennia Nanua was great, everyone else was good enough. Not much else to report. --- (Character Quality: 3/5) This was definitely lacking from the novel and with it being so rushed you really don't get any depth to the characters. --- (Entertainment Value: 4/5) As a Zombie movie, this is entertaining with good suspense. It does this without being over the top. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 2.25/5) I watched the movie once when it came out, enjoyed it. Read the book shortly before watching again about a decade later. Do one or the other but if you do both the movie will be dissapointing.

Für einen Survival Thriller sehr viele überraschend neue Momente. Cool, gefiel mir sehr gut. Glaubwürdig, die Spannung hält bis zum Schluss. Eine Fortsetzung wäre wünschenswert

Very memorable storytelling years later. All tied neatly in a sickening bow at the end.

I'm giving this one a solid 8/10. The acting was really good, especially by the girl who played Melanie. I also liked the concept and world building-- similar to the Last of Us, as far as the zombies go, but with a unique twist. I think Melanie's character arc was really interesting too.
