Product Description
In a world ravaged by a plague turning mankind into cannibalistic automatons, a British army compound houses researchers looking for an answer... and they're seeking it through rare children like Melanie (Sennia Nanua) who-though infected-retain their capacities for thought and reason. When the base is overrun by "hungries," however, Melanie joins the few survivors on a flight to haven in London... which may end prematurely if she can't keep her impulses in check. Effective thinking man's zombie flick co-stars Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close, Paddy Considine; Mike Carey adapted his novel for the screen. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.

The human survivors have set up a military base and they are examining young children that are infected but not yet as aggressive as the adults, but they are still dangerous. They are actually the second generation of the Hungries species.
The military camp is over run and only a few humans escape with one of the test subjects, the most brilliant one. The test subjects were newborns that have the disease but can think. Can they be the solution to find a cure to save humanity……
This is a good zombie movie and I enjoyed it. The acting was good and the storyline was interesting. I rated it at 4 stars. You might ask why only 4 stars. I am tired of the cliché parts of movies where the main characters do the same things in every scary movie. Things like leave their weapons behind, always shut off a working motor vehicle and it will not start again and not shut a door behind them. It always leaves me wondering how stupid can directors and writers be.
This is still an excellent zombie movie with a new twist to the story, I liked it and I recommend it to you. You will be surprised at the ending and enjoy the story at the same time. This is a good film with a unique story! I actually loved how the film caught me off guard as I was expecting a much different ending to the film. It all comes together at the end. The film starts slowly but the ending is worth the wait. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
I am hoping that there will be a second book and a second movie release that is a sequel worth reading and paying for the movie. What is special about this film is the uniqueness of the story line which I found to be creative and interesting to consider. The concept of a second generation of Hungries that are infected but can clearly think and in fact are intelligent is an interesting concept when compared to the traditional zombie movie. More zombie movies should be written like this to really provide a storyline with twists and turns that keep you guessing and entertained by the plot.
This film was a refreshing change in the typical zombie chase and kill humans. It brought in a new concept in the zombie storyline. To many zombie films are just rehashes of older films with little creatively added. CGI doesn't make the film. A good plot with the right director and acting does! This movie was unique enough that it deserves a place in my horror films video library.
I liked this film so much I wonder if they will make a second film about the Hungries and their attacks in another part of the world. My family really enjoyed this film and the unique features of the story still have us talking about how much we liked the movie. While this film may not be as action filled as some zombie movies it does have good suspense and the unique story line makes it special.
For me, the good story line is what makes a film interesting and it provides the cast the means to express a good story and properly act out their roles. What made this film better than the average zombie movie is an intelligent story concept with less of the zombie eats brains chaos. I also felt that the young girl that stared in the film did an excellent job of acting.
This movie still makes me think about the differences between this zombie film and all of the others I have watched. Just get the film and watch it as I believe that you will enjoy it, it is worth watching.
It is not the dynamic action filled film that many zombie movies are, it is just a great story! That art of storytelling and good acting is what made this film entertaining and worth watching! The ending of the film is the most surprising part of the story. I found he film entertaining and I enjoyed it along with my family who also enjoyed it!
The serious plot that comes out with a concept that the living humans needed to understand makes this film. Why should we die for you to live?
If you’re looking for a good movie with a solid story line then this is an entertaining choice. I am looking forward to a follow up story and film. It was good to see a new twist on the zombie apocalypse scenario. This is an entertaining film to watch and it is in the Amazon Prime program. How can you argue with a free film that has an good and unique storyline.
It is worth getting and watching as it is free and a good film.
It is a good story and I enjoyed the film and I recommend it to you.
Director Colm McCarthy (Peaky Blinders) doesn’t have a long filmography, but he has balls and wit—the balls to take risks and the wit to make it work. It may not be so uncommon to find new dystopian future and/or zombie movies nowadays, but the good ones are far and few between. I’d say McCarthy’s risks paid off to our benefit here…
Introduced to a bleak world in the early stages of zombiegeddon, we find daily activities beleaguered by draconian military procedure aimed at the securing, incarceration and control of… children? But why, one must wonder. Warm-souled preteens are strapped down and wheeled to their seemingly routine classroom lessons at gunpoint, tended with more caution than if Hannibal Lecter himself was transported. We know something, some otherwise normative axiom, has been quite violated in this future—and the violation clearly resides under the veil of innocence.
A school teacher to these young threats, Helen (Gemma Arterton; Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, The Voices, Byzantium) serves as our voice of compassion. She feels for the humanity that clearly resides in them—or so she would contest. But opposite Helen, Dr. Caldwell (Glenn Close; Fatal Instinct, Mars Attacks!) would posit these kids’ sympathetic behavior as putatively adaptive. We are left to wonder who is right. Or, possibly, could both correct? I’m sure Physicist Erwin Schrödinger would be most elated by the cinematic analogy of his packaged feline paradox.
Mediating both counterpoints is Sgt Parks (Paddy Considine; Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) and his men, who adopt a “typical” military approach to the threat. And to give that threat a name, we focus on the kind-hearted Melanie (Sennia Nanua).
The most successful modern zombie movies need more than rotting animated corpses. The zombie genre thrives on sociology, its degeneration and humanity alike. Inevitably viewers will compare this to World War Z (2013) or The Walking Dead (2010-present) due to scenes of scrambling zombie hordes (or herds). But that aggregating behavior predates such work and goes back to the root of all: Romero’s trilogy. Instead, I’d compare this to the trials of TWD’s characters struggling with morality, or the empathy of the “turn” championed in The Returned (2013).
Reflecting on sympathy for the infected, consider Roger (Dawn of the Dead), afforded every minute by his fellow mall-marooned survivors to live out his humanity before his turn; or Bub (Day of the Dead), given so much compassion for the echoes of humanity hidden beneath his flesh-eating surface; or any other character altruistically ending themselves (to keep others safe) or conversely fearfully begging for every last minute after being doomed by a zombie’s bite even to the point of hiding it (a dangerous denial putting all others at risk). Dealing with that—the infection (not the zombie)—is this film’s focus and strength.
This film digs deep and manages to garner something zombie movie fans (or film fans) haven’t quite seen before, or at least does something you may find familiar in a novel manner. While I thought many aspects of the third act were executed suboptimally (in my opinion anyway), I was largely pleased with the overall product. It took some interesting turns that go against our troped up expectations for the genre, and it does so with a less predictable moral grounding. Very pleased with this one!
Top reviews from other countries
Despite its overriding dark themes, the film was, in balance, exceptionally well-acted and executed, there was no effort required to suspend disbelief, and some deep moral questions were explored in an original and surprising way. The appeal to the intelligent viewer was also refreshing, with references to Schrodinger’s Cat, to literature, and to science as it’s truly practiced. If there is a better “zombie movie” out there, I haven’t seen it.
SPOILERS FROM HERE:
The film wraps up on a curiously optimistic but conflicted note, in which a cluster of partially resistant infected human children exhibit the ability to accommodate the disease, to learn, and to develop a culture. To be blunt, I was not persuaded by the film's conclusion, though the moral lesson --- that killing the film's protagonist was necessary for humanity to triumph, struck me as morally valid. The implication is that all of humanity must therefore very likely succumb to the disease. The happy note at the end did not convince me that the resistant, but still "hungry," children were on the way to a better future. Rather, humanity simply lost the battle, but lost because saving a life that was of value was a sound moral choice. The film is literary science fiction versus hard science fiction, meaning that some obvious scientific questions were not thought out, even in a cursory manner (e.g., what kind of ecosystem, if any, would permit a modified zombie culture to survive, let alone thrive?). At that level, the film was no longer informative, though, in fairness, it was not trying to be.
I did enjoy the film. Not too much gore especially for a zombie movie.
Now this could just be me, who's watched about a gazillion horror movies but I was never once scared or horrified for the entire film.
It's a fresh take in a lot of ways. Characters are NOT 1 dimensional and do seem human and well rounded. You do care when one of them dies.
The villain is subtle and again, not one dimensional. You can see their point of view even argue for it. The hero, if this film has one, is the same, subtle not over the top.
It's a very muted zombie film, a thinking film not just here's the zombie try and survive.
It questions survival and what humanity even is.
Yeah deep eh?
A bit slow but still well worth watching.
Con una escena final que se encarga de arruinar lo cosechado durante los primeros 100 minutos. Vale la pena detenerla y quedarse con el que parece ser el desenlace 4 minutos antes.
In einer Hinsicht gibt es allerdings bei "The Girl ..." einen wesentlichen Unterschied: Es gibt Kinder, die im Mutterleib infiziert wurden, sie haben noch Verstand und Persönlichkeit und können den Trieb in gewissen Maßen kontrollieren.
Solch ein Kind ist Melanie (Sennia Nanua), die mit Artgenossen in einer Sicherheitszone lebt, sie werden von der Lehrerin Helen Justineau (Gemma Arterton) unterrichtet, beide entwickeln eine Art Freundschaft.
Das Camp enthält aber auch oder hauptsächlich eine Forschungseinrichtung, in der die Ärztin Dr.Caldwell (Glen Close) an einem Impfstpoff arbeitet, dafür muss sie allerdins Sektionen durchführen, um Gehirn und Rückenmark zu untersuchen.
Nachdem ein erster Angriff der Hungries, wie sie genannt werden, blutig abgewehrt worden ist, gelingt es ihnen später, das Camp zu überrennen, als Melanie schon auf dem Sektionstisch fixiert ist. Sie kann sich befreien und mit der Ärztin, die sich eine Schnittwunde an der Hand zugezogen hat, sowie drei Soldaten unter Sgt. Eddie Parks (Paddy Considine) in einem gepanzerten Fahrzeug mit MG auf dem Dach den Weg nach draußen freischießen.
Nach einer Panne des Fahrzeugs schlägt sich die Gruppe nach London durch, es wirkt wie eine Geisterstadt, in der die Natur schon dabei ist, das Menschenwerk zu überwuchern. Normale Menschen sehen wir hier nicht, aber überall größere Ansammlungen von Hungries mit duch Beulen entstellten Gesichtern. Im Gegensatz zu den Artgenosen in freier Wildbahn streifen sie jedoch nicht herum, sondern stehen apathisch wie in Trance regungslos herum, auf Blut- oder Fleischgeruch wartend.
Mit Melanies Hilfe können sie sich langsam und ohne Augenkontakt durch die Ansammlungen der Hungries bewegen und zunächst in Sicherheit bringen.
Dr.Caldwell hat ihr Vorhaben noch nicht aufgegeben, ist aber von einer schweren Wundinfektion zusehends geschwächt. Nur Melanie kann sich sicher durch die Hungries bewegen und trifft schließlich auf eine Gruppe ihresgleichen, Kinder, die noch Verstand und Persönlichkeit besitzen. Melanie erweist sich hier als Alpha-Wesen, und sie ist nicht bereit, die Hungries auszurotten.
Durch ein Feuer setzt sie große Mengen an Pilzsporen frei.
Wie anfangs schon gesagt unterscheidet der Film sich von anderen Zombie-Filmen durch infizierte Kinder vom Typ Melanie, eine Spezies, die noch menschliche Züge hat, ihren Fleischhunger in gewissem Ausmaße kontrollieren kann.
"In einer in Chaos und Zerstörung versunkenen Welt mus sie bad nicht nur über ihre eigene Zukunft, sondern auch das Schicksal der gesamten Menschheit entscheiden." heißt es auf der Rückseite des Blu-Ray-Case. Wie dieses Schicksal aussehen wird, müssen wir Zuschauer spekulieren, denn können die Menschen und die typischen Hungries koexistieren, mit Hilfe solcher noch menschlichen Hungries wie Melanie?
Stringente Logik oder wissenschaftliche Plausibilität darf man von solchen Filmen nicht erwarten, aber sie sollten in sich stimmig sein. Leider ist das bei "The Girl ... " für mich nicht durchgehend der Fall. So ist nicht erklärlich, warum die Hungries in "freier Wildbahn" auf Fleischsuche herumstreifen und das Camp überrennen, während die in der Stadt wie paralysiert herumstehen und auf Beutegeruch warten. Auch der unbeschadet überstandene Weg durch diese Hungries in London ist merkwürdig, da Dr.Caldwell eine offene Wunde hat, bei der ich nicht gesehen habe, dass sie geruchsdicht verbunden gewesen wäre.
Was den Film vielleicht trotzdem sehenwert macht ist die Tatsache, dass es nicht nur Schwarz und Weiß gibt, sondern auch eine Zwischenstufe wie die bezaubernde Melanie und ihresgleichen. Außerdem werden auch ethische und moralische Fragen aufgeworfen.
Darf man Melanie opfern, um einen Impfstoff entwickeln zu können, wobei ich zusätzlich die Frage aufwerfen muss, warum man nicht einen bei der Verteidigung getöteten typischen Hungrie seziert und an seinem Gehirn und Rückenmark forscht.
Trotz dieser Unstimmigkeiten finde ich den Film sehenswert, weil er mal etwas andere zeigt als das typische Gemetzel zwischen Mensch und Zombie. Außerdem liefert Glen Close eine starke Vorstellung, und erst recht Sennia Nanua, die man als Melanie regelrecht in sein Herz schließen kann.
