In a world ravaged by a plague turning mankind into cannibalistic automatons, a British army compound houses researchers looking for an answer... and they're seeking it through rare children like Melanie (Sennia Nanua) who-though infected-retain their capacities for thought and reason. When the base is overrun by "hungries," however, Melanie joins the few survivors on a flight to haven in London... which may end prematurely if she can't keep her impulses in check. Effective thinking man's zombie flick co-stars Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close, Paddy Considine; Mike Carey adapted his novel for the screen. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
