20 Best Sci-Fi Horror Movies Of The 21st Century

Unless you count Warm Bodies (and why would you?), we don't often get to see events from a zombie's perspective.

And whilst they're not traditional zombies in The Girl With All the Gifts, it's still nice to see things from an undead point of view.

TGWAtG suffered initially with cries of ripping off The Last of Us video game series for using a similar infection plot, that of a cordyceps fungal infection over say, a bioweapon.

But that's where the similarities end, as the undead in this don't become gross fungal monstrosities. They just become infectious zombies, is all.

Except children, who are still compus mentis enough to know what's going on... when they're not eating people.

Whilst the film may not have reinvented the zombie genre in any significant way, the nature of the film (and book) itself becomes one of survival through searching for the cure, believing our lead zombie Melanie to be that bridge.

It wouldn't be fair to give away the ending but it is a bold finale, and audiences will be more invested in this outcome than if the characters just decided to nuke everything, Raccoon City style.
