The Girl with All the Gifts Exclusive Blu-ray Date and Packaging Reveal

Acclaimed zombie thriller The Girl With All the Gifts is coming to DVD and Blu-ray in April

Director Colm McCarthy and writer Mike Carey’s The Girl with All the Gifts (based on Carey’s book) is built upon themes first explored in the works of George A. Romero (Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead), but takes them even further. In The Girl, the thoughtful zombie is not a character on the peripheral of the narrative, rather it’s the hero and our entry point into the movie. And while the story orbiting our putrescent protagonist is generally familiar ghoul movie fare, the “girl” at its core is anything but familiar. And because we watch the horror unfold through her troubled eyes, The Girl with All the Gifts itself evolves the genre and breaks (and bites) much new allegorical and narrative ground.
