Nonton The Girl with All the Gifts Sub Indo – This fiercely intelligent British chiller from Scottish director Colm McCarthy, whose small-screen credits include Doctor Who, Sherlock and Peaky Blinders, breathes new life into age-old horror tropes, taking familiar fears of zombies, the apocalypse and eerie children and spinning them in surprising ways. Although writer Mike “MR” Carey’s narrative about a fungal plague that turns victims into cannibalistic “hungries” occupies a post-28 Days Later landscape, the central obsessions explored here are closer to the identity crises of Never Let Me Go (both book and film), with a strong underlying strain of the very British weirdness of John Wyndham.
The budget may have been relatively constrained (£4.4m), but not so the ambition of the film-makers who conjure a gripping genre picture as fleet-footed as its nimbly marauding zombies, juggling thoughtfulness and gore, brains and brawn, with subversive wit and invention.

The Girl with All the Gifts Sub Indo – We open in disorienting fashion as a young girl in a prison cell settles herself into a manacled wheelchair, awaiting the arrival of armed guards. This is Melanie (arresting newcomer Sennia Nanua), one of several similarly shackled children whose confinement seems inexplicable – until one of them tries to bite the forearm of Paddy Considine’s military martinet Sergeant Eddie Parks. Infected by – yet partly resistant to – a zombiefying plague that has ravaged the world (the violent manner of their creation bizarrely recalls cult 1970s British horror To the Devil a Daughter), these strangely dangerous kids are now being held as the key to a possible cure.
But while Dr Caroline Caldwell (Glenn Close) sees them as specimens to be cultivated and cut up, psychologist/teacher Helen Justineau (Gemma Arterton) believes in their essential humanity (“they’re only children”) and delights them with tales of Greek myths. When their rural army base is besieged, this warring group embarks upon a road trip towards London, during which Melanie’s true nature will be doubted, fought over and gradually revealed.
