The Girl with All the Gifts
15

Wed 26 Mar · 18:00

The near future; humanity has been all but destroyed by a mutated fungal disease that eradicates free will and turns its victims into flesh-eating “hungries”. Only a small group of children seem immune to its effects.

Horror • Dystopian • Dark

Part of Philosophy & Film

At an army base in rural England, a group of unique children are being studied, subjected to cruel experiments by biologist Dr. Caldwell. Despite having been infected with the zombie pathogen that has decimated the world, these children retain normal thoughts and emotions. And while still being subject to the craving for human flesh that marks the disease these second-generation “hungries” are able to think and feel making them a vital resource in the search for a cure.

The Girl with All the Gifts returns to HPPH as part of our Philosophy & Film strand and will be followed by a short talk exploring philosophical themes raised.
