28 Days Later
Directed by Danny Boyle
- Terry Phan17 April 2026Not gonna light a pretty good movie, the plot and backstory to the "Rage Virus" was certainly interesting especially the fact that the virus was isolated in Great Britain and not to mention the characters and acting from stars like Cillian Murphy to how the crew managed to film in the quiet streets of London!
- inaneswine27 January 2025This terrific film has turned out to be the most misunderstood film of the 2000s. Referring to it as a "zombie horror" is incorrect in its entirety: the creatures in the film are not the undead, but are in fact humans that are infected with a devastating virus that locks them into a permanent state of murderous rage; and while one could be forgiven for calling the film a horror, it is in fact a focus on human drama, as the protagonists struggle to understand and deal with their predicament. Having said that, the film does deliver a few genuinely terrifying moments, and the geysers of gore are frequent enough to keep the horror fans happy. The early scenes are the most memorable, as we see the deserted city of London explored by a formerly comatose Cillian Murphy, ignorant to the devastation that the virus has caused. Stealing the show is actor Naomi Harris, with her brilliant portrayal of Selena, while John Murphy's music is a close second.
