In a dystopian near future, humanity has been ravaged by a mysterious fungal disease. The afflicted are robbed of all free will and turned into flesh-eating "hungries". Humankind's only hope is a small group of hybrid children who crave human flesh but retain the ability to think and feel. The children go to school at an army base in rural Britain where they're subjected to cruel experiments by Dr. Caroline Caldwell (Glenn Close). School teacher Helen Justineau (Gemma Arterton) grows particularly close to an exceptional girl named Melanie (Sennia Nanua), thus forming a special bond. But when the base is invaded, the trio escapes with the assistance of Sgt. Eddie Parks (Paddy Considine) and they embark on a perilous journey of survival, during which Melanie must come to terms with who she is.

Surprisingly good, fun Indie flick
Worth a watch, if you're into similar small-scale zombie flicks (think; The Night Eats The World, and Cargo).
Starts slowly but must say the scope improves vastly once the plot progresses and the characters' journey begins to expand.
The premise is based around the "Last of us"-style Cordyceps fungus, as the vector for the "zombie" invasion. The (surprisingly impressive) set design clearly pays homage to this, with a little bit of inspiration from Chernobyl thrown in for good measure.
I could honestly give or take the subplot, but overall there are some good set pieces and if you're a fan of Z's then this is a good weekend afternoon Netflix pick sort of film to kill some time.
