WiHM 2018 - The Girl With All the Gifts
Feb. 17th, 2018 10:10 pmHappy Black Panther Weekend!
I went last night and it was a million times better than I even expected it to be, and my expectations were HIGH. All my fellow film geeks have been talking about Black Panther for what feels like eons. This is a historic moment in cinema. Along with last year's Get Out and the still upcoming A Wrinkle In Time, black protagonists are finally getting a significant spotlight in mainstream cinema. It's a drop in a very large, very overdue bucket, but it's a step in the right direction.
One of the horror and sci-fi films with black protagonists from last year that you may have missed, along with The Transfiguration, Sleight, and It Comes At Night, is one of the finest zombie movies out there, and a stunningly faithful adaptation to boot: The Girl With All the Gifts.
I am going to spoil a few things here, so tread carefully if you haven't seen it yet.
