Gemma Arterton, known for her roles in \u201cClash of the Titans\u201d and \u201cPrince of Persia\u201d stars as the optimistic teacher in a post-apocalyptic time in \u201cShe Who Brings Gifts\u201d shares that the humanity of the story is what got her involved in the film, \u201cI didn’t know it was a zombie film. I think I was just sent the script and a brief outline of what creative work had been done [so far], and that was it. So I just started reading it, and then the word ‘hungry’ came up, and I thought this is like a monster type thing. I guess they’re not like regular zombies. I could feel that it was a genre movie obviously, but it felt much more routed in reality. The scenes\u00a0 were very, very well written – there were heavy dialogue scenes, and not just loads of exposition and action. It felt like a proper, human story, and that’s what got me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s director, Mike Carey enthuses on the merits of his latest film despite the previous zombie films in the past, \u201cI think because of Melanie. I think the crucial difference is that this is a monster movie where the protagonist is the monster and we\u2019re seeing things very much from the monster\u2019s point of view.\u00a0 But she\u2019s both a monster and an innocent, a little bit like in Mary Shelley\u2019s Frankenstein, where the creature only becomes monstrous because he\u2019s treated so badly by his creator. So it\u2019s a film that tries to put you in the uncomfortable position of sympathising with the monster, the thing that is threatening humanity.\u00a0\u00a0 There\u2019s a sense that by the end of the movie there\u2019s another candidate for that role, for the role of monster, apart from Melanie.\u201d<\/p>\n
