If you get the DVD (or Blu-ray) be sure to watch the bonus extras...they are informative and feature the director Mike Flanagan and Steven King. Anyone that liked the Shining, either the Kubrick movie or King novel (two quite different things) will enjoy how Flanagan brought them together.

Let me say first that I am not a fan of zombie movies. Since George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead", most have been derivative. There have been some better than others (so I've been told) but none that really stand out from the pack. I think, though, that "The Girl with All the GIfts" is one that does stand out in this genre. I read about it and decided to take a chance on it...I figured if I didn't like it that I would just fast forward it and be done with it in about 15 minutes. So I took it out from my local library. Well, I got hooked from the beginning. I would recommend that if you want an interesting, unexpectedly well done movie then give this movie a chance
