Mercutio was ahead of his time as he lay dying in the arms of Romeo, a plague has indeed been visited upon all our houses, but not the direct one you may be thinking of, but instead the beast of burden which has seen audiences and theatres changing completely their style of interaction with each other, the after effects of a life changing situation meaning that to engage with the public and give them hope in what has been a period of uncertainty.

The Girl With All The Gifts, the latest in a long line of Zombie apocalypse films that scream for attention and makes use of the fear that has invaded our thoughts in the last century; yet this contribution to the horror genre is not one that has the usual suspects running the show, this is the calm and fire all in one body, one who can save us but also tear us apart. It is a film that allows the cinema goer room to breathe but one that asks it not to, to take a large deep breath and keep in until the guts are about to burst.
