20 years ago humanity was infected by a variant of the fungus
Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. The infected, referred to as "hungries", quickly lose their mental powers and feed on the flesh of healthy humans. The disease spreads through blood and saliva, but can also spread through spores created by the fungus. In England, the few surviving uninfected humans either live in heavily-guarded areas such as the Beacon.
Second generation hungeries that retain their mentsl facilities are discovered and kept in a secure facility were they are experimented on to find a cure. 1 child displays a high IQ and is next to be vivisectioned but before the procedure the base is overrun forcing only 3 base personnel and the girl to escape
A great story and performances by all. I like Paddy Considine as an actor and this is probably his best. Cracking film and one for the Bluray collection
