    The Girl With All The Gifts

    I highly recommend The Girl with all the Gifts...yes, yet another zombie flick, but with a totally different take...well acted, which includes Glenn Close...a really well made British production. It really went under the radar, which is a shame...dystopian flicks like these are overshowed by fluff wannabe dystopian crap like Hunger Games and Divergent...both garbage compared to The Girl with all the Gifts...highly recommended...



    It's not a big budget Hollywood production, but it's extremely well made...and these things make the Walking Dead Walkers look tame in comparison, lol.

    Rotten Tomatoes critics give a fresh take of 84%. Interestingly (and shockingly) enough, audiences only 66%. I highly agree with the critics. I don't know what kinda audience they polled, probably Hunger Games and Divergent fans, lol.

    Watch it, give it a shot...you'll be pleasantly surprised...I promise...

    I enjoyed the book but haven't seen the film yet. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

      Excellent, I have put off watching it a couple of times thinking it might be slow. Will give it a viewing this weekend. Thanks Hector.

            I read the book. Kinda reminded me of Matheson's I Am Legend. Does that vibe carry through to the film?

              I gave it a shot,you broke your promise....lol
              I can't say I enjoyed it or liked it any more than I can say I didn't enjoy it or didn't like it?
              It started out great had lots of potential and then just slid somewhere into boring and predictable.
              It was well acted for sure I wanted to really like it but it just fell flat for me.
              Overall it was just okay.

                  Not to worry Hector your old recommendation of "Trick or Treat" is still viewed here in this household and still highly recommended!!!
                  Don't get me wrong thanks for the heads up on this one it was okay,my son however did think it was pretty good.
                  He said it reminded him of a video game called The last of us.
                  All in all your shooting pretty good....lol

                    Felt pretty much exactly the same way.

                          I really liked it. You can watch it for free if you have Amazon Prime.
