28 Days Later Trailers

Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs -- and it's absolutely impossible to contain.

Although the zombies don't eat brains, and are more accurately infected, this is a good presentation of the apocalypse in Britain. The key point being the lack of guns, making this a more visceral survival film, and when the guns are available, it involves Squaddies. The soldiers are believably shown, and overall the characters are good. The depiction of the apocalypse in Britain is well depicted. A good addition to the genre.

It starts with some really good atmospheric shoots with him vandering an empty London. But then when he meets the two survivers they say that the infection has started throughout the whole earth. I immediately question this because when you get infected you turn almost directly. So how are then the infection accidently taken to other partsof the world. The characters later in the movie also question this and it turns out that its only England that is affected.When the Black Girl kills her companion when she suspects he is affected by the look in his eyes, I think that is kind of stupid. She could have just waited a few seconds and she would have known.But the thing that made me dislike the movie was when they meet the military men. All that happens when they are there is boring and stupid. Firstly the men dont act like military men. They dont seem to have any training when they shoot at the zombies and dont act any professional at all. Then they seem to have lost all hope and are whiling to kill each other because of a girl. It has gone like a month since the outbreak. I have a hard time even when it seems to them that society had collapsed that they would act this desperate and strange. One last thing I remembered. When they escape from the city through the tunnel, the zombies follow them. Then they just stop when they are abit far away from them, like they are thinking "we cannot run to them and catch them, they are driving to fast, lets stop runing". Smart zombies. :)

Four people desperate to survive a virus that turns people into maniacal, rabid killers make a desperate escape out of London. With a taxicab full of food and plenty of hope, they gamble their lives on a place that offers food, weapons, and protection. But what lies in wait for them may be a bigger nightmare than the hundreds of thousands of the infected.My most memorable, movie moment of "28 Days Later" is the scene when Cillian Murphy (playing the lead role) is chased by the infected who were lying in a dormant state in a dark church. To me, this was the scariest part of the movie, and it shows early on the skills director Danny Boyle has in creating a horrifying and suspenseful atmosphere.As far as I know, "28 Days Later" is the first movie that has fast moving, non-zombie/infected/seriously angry people who can infect others within seconds, so it gets a special mention for that. Although technically not a zombie flick, I put this movie in the same category as zombie movies, and it is one of the top 10, best zombie movies ever made. Yes, it has some shenanigans such as: the taxicab able to ride over a heap of abandoned cars in a tunnel; and the bad guys unnecessarily moving someone miles away from their base to kill them, which leads to an escape (reminds me of those old, corny James Bond movies where Bond escapes because the bad guy wants to be too fancy with the way he wants to kill Bond). But everything else works very well, and it was all done on a low budget, which makes this movie more deserving of praise.Mannysmemorablemoviemoments

I like zombie movies, I just don't watch them as much. My current favourite is Shaun of the Dead, which isn't exactly that serious. 28 Days Later is probably the first more serious zombie movie I really like. Of course the problem is most of these movies have a similar structure to them. It's always about survival, having to kill someone you care, all that. Comedies of course take different kind of turns.Plot structure to 28 Days Later seems pretty similar to the other movies I've seen or heard about. There are still some twists I really enjoy, and very many scenes I like. But the main reason this movie stands out is because of the characters. I usually am not extremely fond of characters in horror, because you never know what's going to happen. But then I realised how attached I was to the characters of this movie. That realisation happened during some of the most serene and so very nice scenes, like the one at the grocery store. Those little scenes are so nice and heart-warming it makes everything else even more painful. You just want them to have nice, good lives, but horror movies are what they are.The cinematography is interesting. It's annoying at first, because it's grainy and really poor, but it keeps getting better. Also I really like the music in this film. It's simple, it amplifies the feeling in each scene, and it isn't just scary music used to make the scenes seem more threatening. It's a perfect soundtrack when you don't want to take any risks.All in all 28 Days Later is a great genre movie. Danny Boyle sure knows how to direct all kind of stuff, huh?
