I will never understand people blaming Don for leaving his wife. She ran from him to save a random child, his choices were die with them or stay alive for his children that would be orphaned without him.
I think mostly women thinks like that, overwhelmed by emotions blinding their judgment and survival instinct. Most of women probably think that a man should and will die for them in a scenario like this, even when he clearly had no chances of doing something against multiples infected and unarmed. He saw it clearly, she was too stupid
I don't blame him, I just wouldn't do the same. I love my lady to much to leave her to die or watch her die. I'm either gonna save her or die trying to. The sheer guilt would be a living death for me, and in a world like they were in I wouldn't wanna live without her anyway. We'd either walk away or die together.
Everyones like why military kills non infected …they re not zombie …idris ordered it cause it can come back in different ways now …you can show no symptoms yet be infected like their mother in order to contain it they had to do it…it kinda unfortunately makes sense but most people criticize this movie for that
@@ilqar887 I mean it's more for the reason they can't tell which is infected or not that's what the snipers where saying, in real life they would do that straight away anyway
Just chiming in on the whole Don abandoning his wife situation, and I have to say it was probably the most realistic thing I've ever seen in a horror movie. Movies normally present idealized versions of people and it's easy to call him out for being a coward and believing that you'd have stepped up to the plate yourself, but I guarantee that at least 90% of the people reading this would cut and run if ever thrust into such a crazy situation. It's just being human.
Fight or flight. The majority have the flight response, probably because those people are more likely to survive and pass on genes while fight people will be killed by whatever is attacking them. It's fun to see when the fight response kicks into someone though, they are startled and instead of jumping back they instantly take a combat stance. I've only seen it a few times.
I think the reason why the Dad seemed to act differently is because he was infected by the mother who had some kind immunity. Some of her antibodies or something transferred to him. Anyone infected from her would be like that and maybe anyone infected by him would too. That would actually be more dangerous, all the rage, but with enough control to plan and reason. I think he went after her eyes because for weeks he had thought of her watching him, judging him, as he ran for his life.
Good point. Never thought about the eyes. They are not really zombies as they can think and remember stuff. It's just that they are overtaken by rage. And I thought in this case his rage and hate came from the fact that her way of looking at him made him feel guilty. That's what made him go berserk.
Running was the only option that didn't end in certain death, and even then he barely made it out. Letting that kid in, giving any indication that they were in that house, marked everyone hiding inside for death. I'd have run in his shoes. I'd probably feel guilty about it for the rest of my life, but I'd still do it all the same. Such a fantastically made opening sequence. Also an American military officer would put that woman under such heavy guard that you'd have to kill most of the soldiers in the base to even touch that door without permission.
@@fredfredburger5150dont forget she’s literally the reason the infection end up spreading worldwide because she was blinded by getting revenge on Don! 💀💀
Don't forget the beautiful Australian Rose Byrne also portraying an American. This was the first movie I watched with her in it and did not know for years that she was not American.
His fight/flight response was skyrocketing into flight, but in that situation what could he have realistically even done? There were infected in between them, more pouring in, he had no weapon. If he hadn't closed that door he'd be dead, next to zero chance of no infection going against one hand to hand much less multiple. Shit situation, but he did the only thing he really could and live :/
@@spinynorman887 I mean, it's a better option that trying to make a child explain that he abandoned their mother (even though he had no choice). What is the child going to gain from the truth?
Also...I never considered that maybe the Dad was more "evolved" as an infected because of WHO infected him. Maybe her immunity allowed him to maintain more of a human sense of awareness?? Idk, but love that it was brought up 😁
I would say he maintained more of his cognitive ability's. Like his brain wasn't damaged as much. Which allowed him to, sadly be a more effective hunter. So that even if he was drowning in rage, he could still do the "smart" thing and not just charge forward without any regard for his own safety. Well, that's my 2 cents anyway.
@@xensonar9652 Probably, her immune system kept on fighting it, so it kept evolving/mutating inside her to stay alive. Forgot to mention that theory in my original comment so making this one xD
i have thought of this as well. however, hiding around a corner when the fireball is going down the street is a scene they should have just edited out lol.
its called survival instinct. Self preservation. In that situation - if we are honest here - he had no chance to fight off the 10+ zombies. watch the part again, they had a chance to run but SHE ruined it.
Exactly. She had no obligation to the boy when he's not even theirs, and they just met him. I understand there's a responsibility or duty of care that some may feel to protecting a child, but when that child has been screaming his head off for help after leading a horde of running ravenous infected to your now destroyed safe haven, you can't always be expected to play the hero in a situation. There's one of you vs. over a dozen of them, and one bite or one drop of their blood in your system can change you into one of them in a heartbeat. The best thing you can do is run and come back with more help.
@@michaelhuie5878 I don't agree with the second part - her own children are well out of danger so they don't factor in. Saving the boy is about only him. However, the husband COULDN'T have saved them even if he tried. He'd just be guilt-free and dead.
@@theaikidoka You miss the point of tht statement. Yes they aren't physically there but they do factor in. You stay alive FOR YOUR KIDS. Yes as a parent you don't ever want to see a child in harms way. This kid got himself and everyone there killed. As I said a horrible situation but she chose to stay with a random boy then go with her husband and make it back home to their children. Thats my point, either way it's a situation noone wants to be in.
This movie scared the absolute crap out of me growing up! I love that when you get the rage virus you are immediately trained in Olympic-level long distance sprinting
@@mathewdebol923 I think people get confused about this specific thing with zombies a lot, they can run faster and bite harder not because they suddenly gain strength but because they lose all pain inhibitors, the things that tell you don't bite that hard you'll break your teeth or tear your jaw muscles no longer exist... the things that tell your muscles they burn from running no longer send that message... on the upside if zombies actually worked like this they would degrade much faster and most would be gone within months from self-destruction, and unlike in movies, bones don't stay connected once connective tissue is destroyed, so they'd work themselves into a frenzy and break down into a pile of bones pretty quickly.
@@EarnestEgregore I think this explanation is very good, and also similar to why Police Officers don't like dealing with people on, say, Methamphetamine or PCP. The things that happen to them e.g. being pepper sprayed DO affect them the same way as a normal person, they just don't care. It's pretty scary to put an arm lock on someone that would break their elbow if they keep resisting, and have them just carry on fighting when a normal person would yell in pain and stop out of self-preservation.
@@mathewdebol923this is exactly the case and with all that adrenaline pumping, plus the absence of pain reception they wouldn't stop unless the stimulation(in this case a target) was gone. Remember in the first movie how the ones in the church seemed to be napping until they heard noise and went after Jim
Yup and she’s literally the reason the rage virus spread worldwide because all because she wanted to get “revenge” on Don and not even thinking about how that would affect her children! 💀💀
Don gets too much heat for leaving his wife. She refused to help herself, and it would have only resulted in him dying, too. He’d already fought off zombies long enough, and he had their kids to think about rather than some random child that was near catatonic. I’d have left, too. 🤷🏻 The only issue I have is him breaking quarantine and getting himself infected by kissing her.
Modified wedding vows. Until death, do we part. Or until you pull the horror story trope of "Quick! Do the dumbest thing possible." Then consider it a divorce.
Yeah it never sat well with me how he’s portrayed as a coward for his decision. He had a guaranteed exit behind him and a slim chance of survival and being reunited with his kids. In front of him… imminent death was seconds away. He chose himself and his kids over his wife. And he paid for that choice every second of his life afterwards with crushing grief and guilt. I cannot imagine a hell worse than that. Especially with the revelation that his wife was never in any actual mortal peril. So if he stayed to try and help, he’d have died in vain as a heroic martyr. In my eyes the true villain is the mother. She knew she was infected and purposefully allowed him to be infected as a final “fuck you” for abandoning her. But the virus seems to have mutated within her and become more like a calculated malice and hatred than just pure blind rage. And instead of ignoring her like the other infected had, he tears her apart with glee. Oopsie!
Exactly. Both die or only her? He's not superman. Was always on Dons side. Why wouldn't he lie about it either, even filmed people are split on it even though that's crazy.
Everyone in this movie. Basically puts a gun to their head pulls the trigger and then looks at him like "WHY AREN'T YOU HELPING ME". Bruh you killed yourself. He can't save you from that.
I was surprised about how quickly Kat was emotionally invested in the characters. You’ve seen a lot of horror movies now Kat, you must’ve learned that never works out well.
Blimey Kat looked genuinely unnerved watching this movie. Brilliant reactions, the third film is currently in production with Cillian Murphy & Director Danny Boyle returning.
I've waited so long for them to finally green light a 3rd movie. To have Cillian back is huge now that he's become who he is in Hollywood. And Boyle returning tell me this will be incredible.
I still don’t consider the people in these movies “zombies”, but like the lab worker said in the first part of the original movie, is that they’re infected with “rage”, and they also never do anything “zombie”-related. I do still really enjoy them, though.
The opening (and ending) to this film is chaotic and amazing. Another good zombie recommendation is 'Rec'. Good vampire recommendation, 'Let the Right One In'.
Rec is another movie I don't see reaction channels cover and that's sad to see. Is Let the Right One In the American version with Chloe Grace Moretz or the original?
@@WoodlandT wait really? Not sure how I feel about that. Boyle's creative vision is a big part of why this franchise works so well. Splitting into 2 parts with 2 directors is an odd choice
Kat, I hate to break the news to you like this but I don’t think you hate horror movies anymore. I think you’ve become a fan. Maybe not a huge fan but you are a fan nonetheless and now you clearly understand why people love these movies. I know many of the horror movies you’ve watched were bad, yet you still always gave them positive reviews even when they didn’t deserve it. However, like I wrote, somewhere along the line you have definitely become a fan. I love it and I’ve always loved your reactions & reviews. Even when you’ve been a little too nice in your reviews of certain movies. I appreciate your enthusiasm and even in the bad films you can find some goodness or good parts in them to appreciate. That is the definition of a true horror fan.
Kat... I PRAY that you don't change your normal, amazing demeanor in order to talk over every other line of dialogue, talk for the sake of talking, hide your eyes in a dramatic way, losing the sense that anything could happen on screen at any time, go on ridiculous tangents like so many other reactors whom I've since stopped following (or really want to). Basically, just... don't stop being you. You're the best movie reactor I've ever seen. Keep doing what you're doing! I love it! You're amazing. Your formula is perfect... and your formula is just... YOU. 🤘🤘🤘
Don taking heat for lying about the attack. He already has survivors guilt, and the daughter leads the talk with "Was there nothing you couldve done?" No, there wasnt. He wants to believe that, and needs them to also. Makes me curious what their pre-outbreak family was like. As if the Mom had already conditioned them to blame their father for anything.😂
19:35 and here's where I turned the movie off 17 years ago and said "Nope. Not for me." Thanks to Kat I am now finishing the movie with her humor and antics helping to carry me through.
I think there was a comment made by the director or in deleted scenes that ....there was the notion that the shouting kid ..was used by the horde to use as bait ..that they were slightly evolving a bit ...to find those that were hidden
Know the husband leaving his wife and the kid was bad, but come on, he had lost his weapon, so he didn't have any way to fight back. What was he supposed to do? Fighting them with no weapon is a surefire way to die too. Didn't realize it first watch, but the skinny guy who joins the party and dies hanging from the landing gear is Sam, the boyfriend of the blonde girl who was waiting for him to return(he abandoned the group at the house before the infected attack). I suggest you watch the Original b&w version of "The Haunting", "Behind the Mask: Rise of Leslie Vernon"and "The Tunnel"(really good found footage movie.)
Imogen Poots has got some STUNNING eyes in this movie. And Rose Byrne who is stunning in her own right loses her American accent very strongly when she’s yelling STOP in the subway lol
While we're on the Danny Boyle train, Kat should check out SUNSHINE, a science fiction thriller. It's extremely atmospheric and chilling, with a stellar cast containing the usual Boyle stable of talent and a few surprising entries. It was written by Alex Garland, of EX MACHINA and ANNIHILATION fame. Two more movies to check out, by the way.
The main theme, 'Adagio For Sunshine', is such an absolutely epic piece of music that it's been appropriated for lots of other films too. Even if you don't watch the movie, look that music up and enjoy.
Ex Machina and Annihilation were 2 unique movies that don't get talked about nearly enough. I'm a huge fan of Alex Garland for that. But Men was just...weird and wrong in so many ways. And I saw it with a woman so that ending was awkward to say the least lol
This was an unpopular opinion at the time but I think the dad did the right thing by saving himself instead of dying trying to save his wife and random child since one parent had to survive for their children.
Logically I agree, but I think in that moment the man was in complete self preservation mode. Fight or flight and he chose flight. It just happened that his “flight” was in the best interest of the kids
Don wasn't a coward or a bad person, he was the one to open the door for the kid, he tried to fight them off and buy everyone time, he tried to heIp the guy on the boat instead of using that time to speed off. His wife did something dumb in a matter of life and death, and expect him to die trying to save her, and die he wouId have, there were 3 at Ieast upstairs aIready with more coming, and he couId bareIy fight two downstairs with a weapon, unarmed he wouId have died right away.
------------ 33:55 ------ YOU: "You see - last time I checked, they don't drive cars" - I know it's a horror movie, but your comments, like this one, had me laughing so much!
Great Reaction Kat! And Thank You for reacting to 28 Weeks Later! Don’t find many reactions to this amazing movie! I’ve been a big fan of Imogen Poots who’s a very versatile actress! I discovered her in a movie A Country Called Home! I thought she was really a Texan! I actually forgot Jeremy Renner was in this! Thanks Again! 🫰🏼🤘🙏🏻
I think the dad is more cunning because he was infected with DNA that has some of the resistant antibodies from the mother, allowing him to not be in such a blind rage as to just sprint even if it means death. And the ones he infects have a diliuted amount of said DNA so didn’t get the same cognizance
Zombies getting blood over the windows and scratching up what looked to be a fully functioning automobile. That is the real, true horror of this movie.😱
So youtube puts a pretty face watching horror movies on my feed... Curiosity I shall give her a watch and turns out I'm staying for the energy you have. Funny, very expressive and genuine feeling. Thanks for the entertainment and I look forward to diving into the rabbit hole of other videos.
Fab reaction! If you like the amazing, chilling theme tune to these two films, it's on RUclips (of course) and it is called; *In the house, in a heartbeat*. You'll maybe be happy to know that the very long-awaited sequel to this is coming out in 2025, '28 Years Later'. You will be able to skip the 17 year wait the rest of us had. :P 19:15 I think the reason Don kills her when he is infected (when she survived being attacked by other infected) is because he still remembers the overwhelming guilt and shame he felt from abandoning her earlier.
Hey Kat, I'm a content creator (also Canadian) and been watching your videos from the very beginning. Finally subscribed. As a few have mentioned already, I highly recommend you check out Sunshine From 2007. Same writer as this film. It's directed by Danny Boyle who directed 28 days later (Alex Garland also wrote) and it starts Cillian Murphy (from 28 days) and Rose Byrne (from this film). Great Scifi-horror that is rooted in intellectualism and philosophy. Give it a chance!
The idea of firebombing London to get rid of the zombies, the city that withstood the Blitz in world war II, and has, like, thousands of miles of tunnels, is one of the worst plans in the entire film.
3 minutes in LIKED. Your reaction is like delicious nostalgic tears! Fun fact... Carlisle's on screen wife is also the Melly Gibson's wife in "Braveheart"!
39:32 - Kat's face is amazing. You can see the vast amounts of stress and trauma running through her face at the sheer amount cruelty as well as savagery she just witnessed. 😂
Fun Fact: There was a comic continuation to 28 Days Later that reveals that Selena had arrived in London at the time of the 2nd Outbreak here. But she managed to escape to Paris. But before the Infection reached Paris, Selena was on a flight heading to New York.
My only complaint is that Danny Boyle didn't return 😅 Other than that, I think it's fantastic. Robert Carlyle gives an amazing performance throughout, while Rose Byrne and Jeremy Renner carry the bulk of the film on their shoulders. Lot of iconic shots too. The helicopter rotor kill is an homage to another zombie flick (can't remember which right now) and Hawkeye turning into the Human Torch is chilling 😅
Kat, I’m a new subscriber and I absolutely love watching you watching a horror movie. You are absolutely beautiful too :). I get so excited when you release new videos. Thanks for always cheering me up. God bless.
idk...I feel like after the first two a bigger jump was needed to create a new atmosphere....months later would have felt like a DLC for the second one...but the new one could be a total flop being so long for a sequel...
@@Mortigantoj Oh, well the reason I asked was kind of twofold. One was to find out what it actually was, and the second was to try to get people to start speaking full sentences so everyone can understand what they're actually saying. You see, when I type "DLC" into Google, the first things that pop up are "Duquesne Light Company", DLC Management, DLC Financial Consulting, etc. You can't just assume everyone knows what you're talking about when you're speaking in slang. I know I probably sound like an old man, I'm 45 years old and you'd probably call me a "boomer" even though I'm actually part of Generation X. Don't feel too bad though, someday your kids will speak their own language too and when you try to look up the definitions on Google, you too will probably find links for financial consulting companies rather than the actual information you need to understand what people are saying. THAT'S the REAL horror of this reality...
Unpopular opinion here, Don wasn't completely in the wrong, in the beginning. A lot of the stuff he did later on was very stupid, but at the start, it was his wife who was being the irresponsible one! SHE was the one that decided to let in a stranger, even if he is a kid, putting the lives of everyone in that house at risk, for the sake of one! Then when it all went tits up, she ran off AGAIN, into a deliberately putting herself in danger, look for the kid, without thinking about her own children, out there waiting for her! When she got herself trapped, Don had no weapon or way of getting to them past the very large infected! He couldn't know Alice was immune, all him trying to reach them would've done is get himself killed as well, making his children orphans. He made the right call, for that situation. One parent is better than none, all I'm saying.
If you thought Robert Carlyle was terrifying in this film then check him out in TRAINSPOTTING, another breed of horror film. PS: 28 YEARS later is now in production, Kat. :D
Renner's character tried so hard to make non-lethal shots when they were told "targets free". Because if they fell, they would be human and if they kept running, they'd be infected and he could take another shot. A valiant effort, but there were 3 other snipers shooting the same area, so any time any of them got back up, they just got shot again.
Rose Byrne was my absolute biggest cinematic crush ever back around this time. I first noticed her in the trailer for Sunshine, a film I was aching to see, but Fox kept pushing back, eventually giving it a ridiculously small release. In the nine months it took them to finally dump it into theaters, I watched every RB movie I could, starting with Wicker Park and Marie Antoinette. I even tracked down her Aussie work, like The Rage in Placid Lake. That same year, I saw 28 Weeks Later in the theater and to this day feel it’s far better than the first. Eventually got to see Sunshine, but had to drive an hour to see it theatrically. To say it was worth it and then some would be an understatement. You should definitely check it out. A masterpiece. Fun fact: it’s the film that convinced me to go Blu-ray. Probably the most beautiful visuals I've seen in a movie. Also, the dad in this is played by Robert Carlyle, who is fantastic in the underrated 1999 gem, Ravenous. Another one to watch. Fun fact number 2: it’s the first DVD I ever got after getting my first player for Christmas.
Ready Or Not The Changeling (1980) Wishmaster Dead & Buried Phantasm From Beyond Final Destination (Entire Series) Tourist Trap Prince Of Darkness Without Warning
I'll never forget seeing this in theaters. My friends mom took us and initially sat a few rows back. After that opening attack scene, she moved up to sit with my friend and I. I'm so glad you covered this one as well as the original 28 Days Later. It's my all time favorite horror movie. Absolutely traumatized me as a child.
These films hit differently since COVID, especially because we now know most people would absolutely hide a zombie bite and will happily throw aside any concern for public health at the slightest inconvenience.
Of course, the facts, now generally known, that the inoculation did little to help... ie, that with the exception of those with compromised immune systems, you were just as likely to catch C19 after the shot as before it... make your analogy to this film entirely invalid, don't they? Then again, almost nothing said by Herr Fauci... from that, to the fact that he'd personally signed off in the development of the pathogen, with US taxpayer funding no less, at the Wuhan viral warfare lab... and until very recently, people believed him about his denial of that... ought to make clear how untrustworthy he truly was. The release of this fictional virus, as a lab accident, closely parallels what happened in Wuhan. Except that, in reality, it wasn't eco-terrorists who released the man-made virus into the world.
I love rewatching horror movies that I've seen and having the 'excuse' of watching it again to share it with a friend. Some days this is as close as I get, and it is awesome to see your reaction. That is the best part of sharing a new thing with a friend.
I wouId have Ieft her to, she did it to herseIf, there were 3 infected aIready upstairs with more coming, he bareIy was abIe to fight off two with a weapon downstairs, if he tried to heIp he wouId have been kiIIed.......
A very good sequel to the first one, these might be my favorite zombie movies ever. We are extremely lucky to have 28 Years Later coming up next year, directed by Danny Boyle who directed the first one with Cillian Murphy making a comeback as a lead character. Man i've waited too long for this story to conclude, i can barely wait
Not as bad as his atrocious Southern accent in that turkey extraordinaire, "Prometheus". Boggles my mind that they decided to have two British actors do bad accents. Plus Noomi Rapace's horrible British (?) accent.
Just wanted to give a quick second to the ending, since I didn't hear you comment on it. In case you weren't able to fully process what you were seeing, 28 days after the kids were flown across the channel to France, we now see that the Rage virus has been introduced here as well - a previously infection-free country. (Remember that England was originally quarantined.) Andy was a carrier like his mom, but the kids didn't know about any of that. So the likelihood is that he inadvertently shared food or drink with Tammy or maybe even the pilot which started the chain of infection. I've heard other theories, but it boils down to the certainty that France became infected because of Andy.
@@rorybryant3282 I've heard that theory too, so that's possible! I just assumed that would've been well secured on both sides, if not at least on the French side. But I didn't write the script, so I guess we'll have to wait for the next installment for clarification lol
Kat! Please consider watching the original "Fright Night" from 1985 (and maybe the sequel.) Then you can watch the rebooted version from 2011 with Colin Farrell and compare.
OK, Kat blurring The Bird is the true horror of this movie! I laughed so hard at that that I had to replay it to watch your hand positions go from fist to claw to Bird. You might be part Italian, Kat lol
I love your channel, Kat. How is it that you haven't fallen out of your chair with every jump scare? Anyway, I would like to recommend the "Feast" trilogy for you. A combination of fast-paced, gory, comedy horror.
For some obscure reason, some people here think that the mom "kissed the dad" with the intent to kill him. Seriously, WTH? She was strapped to a table. He forced himself upon her while she was likely sedated and completely traumatized, psychotic and almost non-verbal. She didn't "do" anything, at all. But Don...Don should have known better. Blaming the mom for doing literally nothing is absolutely WILD. You can even see the surprise and sheer terror on her face when Don starts to turn. And you guys think that's what she wanted?
Rewatch the first scene and you’ll understand why they think like that, Don never put a random child above the lives of his children or above the lives of people that saved him
"American Gothic" (1988). Starring Yvonne de Carlo, from Vancouver, BC (Lily Munster). And "Teeth" (2007). Awesome revenge horror. *Or maybe even "Quarantine" (2008), which is a shot-for-shot US remake of the Spanish film, "REC" (2007)*
The real horror of this movie is that Kat didn't say what the real horror was... Cillian Murphy has signed on and 28 years later is already filming. It's supposed to be released June of 2025. What an amazing Zombie movie.
I'm in this film! I play one of the panicking people in the underground car park scene as well as one of the zombies later on!
❤❤❤❤
That's awesome 😮
Well, if thats true, you're part of one of the best zombie movies ever made my friend!
Cool!
Are you in the credits? Not important, just wondering
I will never understand people blaming Don for leaving his wife. She ran from him to save a random child, his choices were die with them or stay alive for his children that would be orphaned without him.
It's because everyone feels like they are "Big Bad Hero's" or something..
I think mostly women thinks like that, overwhelmed by emotions blinding their judgment and survival instinct. Most of women probably think that a man should and will die for them in a scenario like this, even when he clearly had no chances of doing something against multiples infected and unarmed. He saw it clearly, she was too stupid
@@Cthulwho69People think they are a hero until they are in Don's shoes.
I don't blame him, I just wouldn't do the same. I love my lady to much to leave her to die or watch her die. I'm either gonna save her or die trying to. The sheer guilt would be a living death for me, and in a world like they were in I wouldn't wanna live without her anyway. We'd either walk away or die together.
@@howardandrews9593 Maybe but you also have to add in the context that they have children too.
The intro to this movie is a masterpiece! I still get chills every single time even though I've watched it so many times. Underated movie, tbh
Picking absolute masterclass actor Robert Carlyle helps with it a lot haha.
Everyones like why military kills non infected …they re not zombie …idris ordered it cause it can come back in different ways now …you can show no symptoms yet be infected like their mother in order to contain it they had to do it…it kinda unfortunately makes sense but most people criticize this movie for that
@@ilqar887 I mean it's more for the reason they can't tell which is infected or not that's what the snipers where saying, in real life they would do that straight away anyway
The two kids escaping into the city must take after their mother when it comes to making bad decisions lol.
Just chiming in on the whole Don abandoning his wife situation, and I have to say it was probably the most realistic thing I've ever seen in a horror movie. Movies normally present idealized versions of people and it's easy to call him out for being a coward and believing that you'd have stepped up to the plate yourself, but I guarantee that at least 90% of the people reading this would cut and run if ever thrust into such a crazy situation. It's just being human.
Fight or flight. The majority have the flight response, probably because those people are more likely to survive and pass on genes while fight people will be killed by whatever is attacking them. It's fun to see when the fight response kicks into someone though, they are startled and instead of jumping back they instantly take a combat stance. I've only seen it a few times.
@@Bhaalgorn2302 You're forgetting the third one, Freeze. It's Fight, Flight, or Freeze, and a lot of people freeze.
I guarantee I’d have frozen like an idiot and got chomped 😂
Nah...I'd rather go out. Flight has never kicked in for me. Always fight. Maybe because I'm slow lol
Would have been a very short movie if he hadn’t abandoned her 😂
The beginning of this film is all about survival. That guy had to leave his wife behind in order to survive and get back to his two children.
I think the reason why the Dad seemed to act differently is because he was infected by the mother who had some kind immunity. Some of her antibodies or something transferred to him. Anyone infected from her would be like that and maybe anyone infected by him would too. That would actually be more dangerous, all the rage, but with enough control to plan and reason.
I think he went after her eyes because for weeks he had thought of her watching him, judging him, as he ran for his life.
Good point. Never thought about the eyes. They are not really zombies as they can think and remember stuff. It's just that they are overtaken by rage. And I thought in this case his rage and hate came from the fact that her way of looking at him made him feel guilty. That's what made him go berserk.
The son had immunity because it was passed on to him from the mother. The father didn't have the genes for it. Very simple.
@@jollygoodfellow3957 yea we know that lol
Never thought of this theory rly cool
@@jollygoodfellow3957then you explain why he acts so differently
Ah Kat, hears a Scottish accent and immediately puts on an Irish accent 😂 that's the real horror.
The irony is not lost on you, it seems, since a lot of Canadians are descended from Scots / Irish stock. Apart from Quebecciennes. 🤭

@@zeller3228I’m not great at recognizing the ishes, Irish, British, Scottish. I am decent at Canadiish.
throw in Australian and British accents and no one outside of those countries can tell the difference.
Running was the only option that didn't end in certain death, and even then he barely made it out. Letting that kid in, giving any indication that they were in that house, marked everyone hiding inside for death. I'd have run in his shoes. I'd probably feel guilty about it for the rest of my life, but I'd still do it all the same. Such a fantastically made opening sequence.
Also an American military officer would put that woman under such heavy guard that you'd have to kill most of the soldiers in the base to even touch that door without permission.
It's funny how his wife doomed everyone in the house to death but we see the guy as the bad one 🤔

That's the true horror of this movie.
What would Iron Man say about that dude playing dude disguised as a dude?
@@genghisgalahad8465 😆

Don't forget the beautiful Australian Rose Byrne also portraying an American. This was the first movie I watched with her in it and did not know for years that she was not American.
Bro everyone gave heat to Don for running - but Don definitely did what like 90% of us would do lol
Pretty sure most of us wouldn't have lied to our kids about her getting bitten or seeing her die. THAT is (I think) why everyone gives Don heat.
His fight/flight response was skyrocketing into flight, but in that situation what could he have realistically even done?
There were infected in between them, more pouring in, he had no weapon. If he hadn't closed that door he'd be dead, next to zero chance of no infection going against one hand to hand much less multiple. Shit situation, but he did the only thing he really could and live :/
@@spinynorman887 I mean, it's a better option that trying to make a child explain that he abandoned their mother (even though he had no choice). What is the child going to gain from the truth?
99%
@@jonkelley9021100% of the women would do that in a heartbeat if reversed lol
Also...I never considered that maybe the Dad was more "evolved" as an infected because of WHO infected him. Maybe her immunity allowed him to maintain more of a human sense of awareness?? Idk, but love that it was brought up 😁
I would say he maintained more of his cognitive ability's. Like his brain wasn't damaged as much. Which allowed him to, sadly be a more effective hunter. So that even if he was drowning in rage, he could still do the "smart" thing and not just charge forward without any regard for his own safety.
Well, that's my 2 cents anyway.
The virus could have mutated inside her.
@@xensonar9652 Probably, her immune system kept on fighting it, so it kept evolving/mutating inside her to stay alive.
Forgot to mention that theory in my original comment so making this one xD
i have thought of this as well. however, hiding around a corner when the fireball is going down the street is a scene they should have just edited out lol.
Or just his his strong survival urge creeping through the rage
its called survival instinct. Self preservation. In that situation - if we are honest here - he had no chance to fight off the 10+ zombies. watch the part again, they had a chance to run but SHE ruined it.
Exactly. She had no obligation to the boy when he's not even theirs, and they just met him. I understand there's a responsibility or duty of care that some may feel to protecting a child, but when that child has been screaming his head off for help after leading a horde of running ravenous infected to your now destroyed safe haven, you can't always be expected to play the hero in a situation. There's one of you vs. over a dozen of them, and one bite or one drop of their blood in your system can change you into one of them in a heartbeat. The best thing you can do is run and come back with more help.
She literally caused everyone including the boy she "saved" to die. It's a horrible amd fucked situation but she chose a random boy over her own kids.
@@michaelhuie5878 I don't agree with the second part - her own children are well out of danger so they don't factor in. Saving the boy is about only him. However, the husband COULDN'T have saved them even if he tried. He'd just be guilt-free and dead.
@@theaikidoka You miss the point of tht statement. Yes they aren't physically there but they do factor in. You stay alive FOR YOUR KIDS. Yes as a parent you don't ever want to see a child in harms way. This kid got himself and everyone there killed. As I said a horrible situation but she chose to stay with a random boy then go with her husband and make it back home to their children. Thats my point, either way it's a situation noone wants to be in.
@@michaelhuie5878 Ah, OK, I get you.
That chase scene at the start of the movie was intense as hell. When a whole mob of infected comes over the hill. Terrifying.
Its ur typical Black Friday in America
This movie scared the absolute crap out of me growing up! I love that when you get the rage virus you are immediately trained in Olympic-level long distance sprinting
I’m guessing the rage virus amps your adrenaline to the point you’re basically a super soldier.
@@mathewdebol923 I think people get confused about this specific thing with zombies a lot, they can run faster and bite harder not because they suddenly gain strength but because they lose all pain inhibitors, the things that tell you don't bite that hard you'll break your teeth or tear your jaw muscles no longer exist... the things that tell your muscles they burn from running no longer send that message... on the upside if zombies actually worked like this they would degrade much faster and most would be gone within months from self-destruction, and unlike in movies, bones don't stay connected once connective tissue is destroyed, so they'd work themselves into a frenzy and break down into a pile of bones pretty quickly.
@@EarnestEgregore I was going to say the same thing.
@@EarnestEgregore I think this explanation is very good, and also similar to why Police Officers don't like dealing with people on, say, Methamphetamine or PCP. The things that happen to them e.g. being pepper sprayed DO affect them the same way as a normal person, they just don't care. It's pretty scary to put an arm lock on someone that would break their elbow if they keep resisting, and have them just carry on fighting when a normal person would yell in pain and stop out of self-preservation.
@@mathewdebol923this is exactly the case and with all that adrenaline pumping, plus the absence of pain reception they wouldn't stop unless the stimulation(in this case a target) was gone. Remember in the first movie how the ones in the church seemed to be napping until they heard noise and went after Jim
4:40 I don't Blame Don for leaving, survival of the fittest man, she made a big mistake going for the boy over family
Yup and she’s literally the reason the rage virus spread worldwide because all because she wanted to get “revenge” on Don and not even thinking about how that would affect her children! 💀💀
Don gets too much heat for leaving his wife. She refused to help herself, and it would have only resulted in him dying, too. He’d already fought off zombies long enough, and he had their kids to think about rather than some random child that was near catatonic. I’d have left, too. 🤷🏻 The only issue I have is him breaking quarantine and getting himself infected by kissing her.
Modified wedding vows.
Until death, do we part. Or until you pull the horror story trope of "Quick! Do the dumbest thing possible." Then consider it a divorce.
Yeah it never sat well with me how he’s portrayed as a coward for his decision. He had a guaranteed exit behind him and a slim chance of survival and being reunited with his kids. In front of him… imminent death was seconds away. He chose himself and his kids over his wife. And he paid for that choice every second of his life afterwards with crushing grief and guilt. I cannot imagine a hell worse than that.
Especially with the revelation that his wife was never in any actual mortal peril. So if he stayed to try and help, he’d have died in vain as a heroic martyr.
In my eyes the true villain is the mother. She knew she was infected and purposefully allowed him to be infected as a final “fuck you” for abandoning her. But the virus seems to have mutated within her and become more like a calculated malice and hatred than just pure blind rage. And instead of ignoring her like the other infected had, he tears her apart with glee. Oopsie!
Why in the heck does a janitors key card let him into secure labs anyway???
@@Haplo699g And why was there not a single guard posted around??? Not even cameras so someone could notice 😩
Exactly. Both die or only her? He's not superman. Was always on Dons side. Why wouldn't he lie about it either, even filmed people are split on it even though that's crazy.
Everyone in this movie. Basically puts a gun to their head pulls the trigger and then looks at him like "WHY AREN'T YOU HELPING ME". Bruh you killed yourself. He can't save you from that.
I love that he left his wife. We can argue whether it was right or wrong, but at least it's original in a movie for the main character.
So true… that whole opening scene was incredible.
I was surprised about how quickly Kat was emotionally invested in the characters. You’ve seen a lot of horror movies now Kat, you must’ve learned that never works out well.
Blimey Kat looked genuinely unnerved watching this movie.
Brilliant reactions, the third film is currently in production with Cillian Murphy & Director Danny Boyle returning.
I've waited so long for them to finally green light a 3rd movie. To have Cillian back is huge now that he's become who he is in Hollywood. And Boyle returning tell me this will be incredible.
And now has a trailer!
I still don’t consider the people in these movies “zombies”, but like the lab worker said in the first part of the original movie, is that they’re infected with “rage”, and they also never do anything “zombie”-related. I do still really enjoy them, though.
The opening (and ending) to this film is chaotic and amazing. Another good zombie recommendation is 'Rec'. Good vampire recommendation, 'Let the Right One In'.
Rec is another movie I don't see reaction channels cover and that's sad to see. Is Let the Right One In the American version with Chloe Grace Moretz or the original?
@@Mikeonthemic80 The original. Though the American version is good, too.
@@polyglot12 I'll have to check the original out then and see which 1 I like more

It’s going to be in 2 parts with different directors. First one out sometime next year
As far as I recall, it was supposed to be 28 Months later, not years. Maybe they changed it
@@WoodlandT wait really? Not sure how I feel about that. Boyle's creative vision is a big part of why this franchise works so well. Splitting into 2 parts with 2 directors is an odd choice
Kat, I hate to break the news to you like this but I don’t think you hate horror movies anymore. I think you’ve become a fan. Maybe not a huge fan but you are a fan nonetheless and now you clearly understand why people love these movies. I know many of the horror movies you’ve watched were bad, yet you still always gave them positive reviews even when they didn’t deserve it. However, like I wrote, somewhere along the line you have definitely become a fan. I love it and I’ve always loved your reactions & reviews. Even when you’ve been a little too nice in your reviews of certain movies. I appreciate your enthusiasm and even in the bad films you can find some goodness or good parts in them to appreciate. That is the definition of a true horror fan.
Kat... I PRAY that you don't change your normal, amazing demeanor in order to talk over every other line of dialogue, talk for the sake of talking, hide your eyes in a dramatic way, losing the sense that anything could happen on screen at any time, go on ridiculous tangents like so many other reactors whom I've since stopped following (or really want to).
Basically, just... don't stop being you. You're the best movie reactor I've ever seen. Keep doing what you're doing! I love it! You're amazing. Your formula is perfect... and your formula is just... YOU. 🤘🤘🤘
Don taking heat for lying about the attack. He already has survivors guilt, and the daughter leads the talk with "Was there nothing you couldve done?" No, there wasnt. He wants to believe that, and needs them to also. Makes me curious what their pre-outbreak family was like. As if the Mom had already conditioned them to blame their father for anything.😂
19:35 and here's where I turned the movie off 17 years ago and said "Nope. Not for me." Thanks to Kat I am now finishing the movie with her humor and antics helping to carry me through.
I think there was a comment made by the director or in deleted scenes that ....there was the notion that the shouting kid ..was used by the horde to use as bait ..that they were slightly evolving a bit ...to find those that were hidden
I haven't watched this one in a while and forgot what a stacked cast this is. Another great reaction, Kat!
Know the husband leaving his wife and the kid was bad, but come on, he had lost his weapon, so he didn't have any way to fight back. What was he supposed to do? Fighting them with no weapon is a surefire way to die too.
Didn't realize it first watch, but the skinny guy who joins the party and dies hanging from the landing gear is Sam, the boyfriend of the blonde girl who was waiting for him to return(he abandoned the group at the house before the infected attack).
I suggest you watch the Original b&w version of "The Haunting", "Behind the Mask: Rise of Leslie Vernon"and "The Tunnel"(really good found footage movie.)
I never realized😂
Good catch
yah that lady is fucking stupid to leave her husband and run to save an unknown kid and then expecting him to save both of them
How do you know that him ?
@@The509sfinest It was revealed to me in a dream
Imogen Poots has got some STUNNING eyes in this movie. And Rose Byrne who is stunning in her own right loses her American accent very strongly when she’s yelling STOP in the subway lol
Rumor has it that she still has those same eyes. =)
Imogen Gay Poots has to be the most unfortunate name I've ever heard.
Movie: shows cute picture of a girl in first communion dress
Kat: creepy possesed child bride
While we're on the Danny Boyle train, Kat should check out SUNSHINE, a science fiction thriller. It's extremely atmospheric and chilling, with a stellar cast containing the usual Boyle stable of talent and a few surprising entries. It was written by Alex Garland, of EX MACHINA and ANNIHILATION fame.
Two more movies to check out, by the way.
Sunshine is absolutely amazing indeed.
Sunshine is an all timer for me. Fantastic film. Top marks on the recommendation!
The main theme, 'Adagio For Sunshine', is such an absolutely epic piece of music that it's been appropriated for lots of other films too. Even if you don't watch the movie, look that music up and enjoy.
@@theaikidoka Also, the sound effect for the signal from ICARUS I was re-used in THE THING prequel fir the computer column in the alien saucer.
Ex Machina and Annihilation were 2 unique movies that don't get talked about nearly enough. I'm a huge fan of Alex Garland for that. But Men was just...weird and wrong in so many ways. And I saw it with a woman so that ending was awkward to say the least lol
This was an unpopular opinion at the time but I think the dad did the right thing by saving himself instead of dying trying to save his wife and random child since one parent had to survive for their children.
Logically I agree, but I think in that moment the man was in complete self preservation mode. Fight or flight and he chose flight.
It just happened that his “flight” was in the best interest of the kids
To be fair; she put herself in a dire situation. Then expected him to bail her out, likely at the cost of his life. Bit much of her.
Don wasn't a coward or a bad person, he was the one to open the door for the kid, he tried to fight them off and buy everyone time, he tried to heIp the guy on the boat instead of using that time to speed off. His wife did something dumb in a matter of life and death, and expect him to die trying to save her, and die he wouId have, there were 3 at Ieast upstairs aIready with more coming, and he couId bareIy fight two downstairs with a weapon, unarmed he wouId have died right away.
Random child, stay with your mom!
Agreed. Perhaps unromantic and not very noble, but definitely the most practical choice.
Hands down the most white knuckled, panic-inducing opening sequence in cinema history.
------------ 33:55 ------ YOU: "You see - last time I checked, they don't drive cars" - I know it's a horror movie, but your comments, like this one, had me laughing so much!
Great Reaction Kat! And Thank You for reacting to
28 Weeks Later! Don’t find many reactions to this amazing movie! I’ve been a big fan of Imogen Poots who’s a very versatile actress! I discovered her in a movie A Country Called Home! I thought she was really a Texan! I actually forgot Jeremy Renner was in this! Thanks Again! 🫰🏼🤘🙏🏻
The way Kat said " Cmon suck it up. Slurp it up; take a deeeep breath. Of that gas... 🤘" 😅
If you love zombie movies and you haven't yet seen the 2004 version of "Dawn of the Dead," I highly recommend it. It's my favorite of the genre.
Not sure why but I don't see 2004's DotD get near enough recognition and all the channels I follow, no one is covering it!
Zack snyder is an awful director no thanks.
Kat: Posts 28 Weeks Later reaction.
Me: Starts watching 28 minutes later...
AHHHH RAGE ZOMBIES!!
One of your best ever reactions Kat!
Thoroughly enjoyed that.
As usual great video!! LOVE YA KAT!!!
Don was literally in a run or die situation, he wasn't going to fight off a hoard of zombies, he wouldve died along with the wife and kid.
I think the dad is more cunning because he was infected with DNA that has some of the resistant antibodies from the mother, allowing him to not be in such a blind rage as to just sprint even if it means death. And the ones he infects have a diliuted amount of said DNA so didn’t get the same cognizance
Zombies getting blood over the windows and scratching up what looked to be a fully functioning automobile. That is the real, true horror of this movie.😱
So youtube puts a pretty face watching horror movies on my feed... Curiosity I shall give her a watch and turns out I'm staying for the energy you have. Funny, very expressive and genuine feeling. Thanks for the entertainment and I look forward to diving into the rabbit hole of other videos.
Kat! You rock. Thanks for the fun time watching
Fab reaction! If you like the amazing, chilling theme tune to these two films, it's on RUclips (of course) and it is called; *In the house, in a heartbeat*.
You'll maybe be happy to know that the very long-awaited sequel to this is coming out in 2025, '28 Years Later'. You will be able to skip the 17 year wait the rest of us had. :P
19:15 I think the reason Don kills her when he is infected (when she survived being attacked by other infected) is because he still remembers the overwhelming guilt and shame he felt from abandoning her earlier.
I was raging when Jeremy Renner got killed off in the film
I thought it was one of the best heroic sacrifices I'd seen in a fictional movie for a long while...
@@AndrewGivensyou could say he went out in a blaze of glory.
The infection can now be passed through TV screens
Hey Kat, I'm a content creator (also Canadian) and been watching your videos from the very beginning. Finally subscribed. As a few have mentioned already, I highly recommend you check out Sunshine From 2007. Same writer as this film. It's directed by Danny Boyle who directed 28 days later (Alex Garland also wrote) and it starts Cillian Murphy (from 28 days) and Rose Byrne (from this film). Great Scifi-horror that is rooted in intellectualism and philosophy. Give it a chance!
The idea of firebombing London to get rid of the zombies, the city that withstood the Blitz in world war II, and has, like, thousands of miles of tunnels, is one of the worst plans in the entire film.
Your joy when Rose came to save the children is what got a follow from me.😊😂
The way your pointing things when something bad is gonna happen….hilarious
3 minutes in LIKED. Your reaction is like delicious nostalgic tears! Fun fact... Carlisle's on screen wife is also the Melly Gibson's wife in "Braveheart"!
I had to subscribe. I enjoy your humor. Lol
Alice, Robert Carlyle's wife, is played by Catherine McCormack who played Murron (William Wallace' wife) in Braveheart.
Shhh. We don't speak of that history travesty and its narcissist actor
39:32 - Kat's face is amazing. You can see the vast amounts of stress and trauma running through her face at the sheer amount cruelty as well as savagery she just witnessed. 😂
You asked "what kind of intro was that?!"
We answer "the best ever."
The air karate was strong with this one...
The Kat-Fu is strong is in this video
Fun Fact: There was a comic continuation to 28 Days Later that reveals that Selena had arrived in London at the time of the 2nd Outbreak here. But she managed to escape to Paris. But before the Infection reached Paris, Selena was on a flight heading to New York.
My only complaint is that Danny Boyle didn't return 😅 Other than that, I think it's fantastic.
Robert Carlyle gives an amazing performance throughout, while Rose Byrne and Jeremy Renner carry the bulk of the film on their shoulders.
Lot of iconic shots too. The helicopter rotor kill is an homage to another zombie flick (can't remember which right now) and Hawkeye turning into the Human Torch is chilling 😅
Kat, I’m a new subscriber and I absolutely love watching you watching a horror movie. You are absolutely beautiful too :). I get so excited when you release new videos. Thanks for always cheering me up. God bless.
Yes he left them but he couldnt do anything except die with them. So if its between that or running away...just RUN
well id do it too .. just be realistic of course
The amount of Kat content I've been given this week is making me ridiculously happy.
Hella annoyed that they are skipping "28 Months Later" and jumping straight into "28 Years Later" for the next sequel.
same
idk...I feel like after the first two a bigger jump was needed to create a new atmosphere....months later would have felt like a DLC for the second one...but the new one could be a total flop being so long for a sequel...
@@profoundclarity8497 What is a DLC?
@@euphoriatoast Downloadable Content (in video games) Usually extra missions or a short story mode that adds to the main game, but isn't a full sequel
@@Mortigantoj Oh, well the reason I asked was kind of twofold. One was to find out what it actually was, and the second was to try to get people to start speaking full sentences so everyone can understand what they're actually saying.
You see, when I type "DLC" into Google, the first things that pop up are "Duquesne Light Company", DLC Management, DLC Financial Consulting, etc. You can't just assume everyone knows what you're talking about when you're speaking in slang. I know I probably sound like an old man, I'm 45 years old and you'd probably call me a "boomer" even though I'm actually part of Generation X.
Don't feel too bad though, someday your kids will speak their own language too and when you try to look up the definitions on Google, you too will probably find links for financial consulting companies rather than the actual information you need to understand what people are saying.
THAT'S the REAL horror of this reality...
Unpopular opinion here, Don wasn't completely in the wrong, in the beginning. A lot of the stuff he did later on was very stupid, but at the start, it was his wife who was being the irresponsible one! SHE was the one that decided to let in a stranger, even if he is a kid, putting the lives of everyone in that house at risk, for the sake of one! Then when it all went tits up, she ran off AGAIN, into a deliberately putting herself in danger, look for the kid, without thinking about her own children, out there waiting for her! When she got herself trapped, Don had no weapon or way of getting to them past the very large infected! He couldn't know Alice was immune, all him trying to reach them would've done is get himself killed as well, making his children orphans. He made the right call, for that situation. One parent is better than none, all I'm saying.
If you thought Robert Carlyle was terrifying in this film then check him out in TRAINSPOTTING, another breed of horror film. PS: 28 YEARS later is now in production, Kat. :D
Renner's character tried so hard to make non-lethal shots when they were told "targets free". Because if they fell, they would be human and if they kept running, they'd be infected and he could take another shot.
A valiant effort, but there were 3 other snipers shooting the same area, so any time any of them got back up, they just got shot again.
28 weeks later is still a classic even today. Gravity was a great film that totally surprised me with its story.
Rose Byrne was my absolute biggest cinematic crush ever back around this time. I first noticed her in the trailer for Sunshine, a film I was aching to see, but Fox kept pushing back, eventually giving it a ridiculously small release. In the nine months it took them to finally dump it into theaters, I watched every RB movie I could, starting with Wicker Park and Marie Antoinette. I even tracked down her Aussie work, like The Rage in Placid Lake.
That same year, I saw 28 Weeks Later in the theater and to this day feel it’s far better than the first. Eventually got to see Sunshine, but had to drive an hour to see it theatrically. To say it was worth it and then some would be an understatement. You should definitely check it out. A masterpiece. Fun fact: it’s the film that convinced me to go Blu-ray. Probably the most beautiful visuals I've seen in a movie.
Also, the dad in this is played by Robert Carlyle, who is fantastic in the underrated 1999 gem, Ravenous. Another one to watch. Fun fact number 2: it’s the first DVD I ever got after getting my first player for Christmas.
The real Horror of this movie is Idiot Children. Sorry kid you're on your own....Byeeee! *Runs away*

I'll never forget seeing this in theaters. My friends mom took us and initially sat a few rows back. After that opening attack scene, she moved up to sit with my friend and I. I'm so glad you covered this one as well as the original 28 Days Later. It's my all time favorite horror movie. Absolutely traumatized me as a child.
These films hit differently since COVID, especially because we now know most people would absolutely hide a zombie bite and will happily throw aside any concern for public health at the slightest inconvenience.
Of course, the facts, now generally known, that the inoculation did little to help... ie, that with the exception of those with compromised immune systems, you were just as likely to catch C19 after the shot as before it... make your analogy to this film entirely invalid, don't they?
Then again, almost nothing said by Herr Fauci... from that, to the fact that he'd personally signed off in the development of the pathogen, with US taxpayer funding no less, at the Wuhan viral warfare lab... and until very recently, people believed him about his denial of that... ought to make clear how untrustworthy he truly was.
The release of this fictional virus, as a lab accident, closely parallels what happened in Wuhan. Except that, in reality, it wasn't eco-terrorists who released the man-made virus into the world.
I love rewatching horror movies that I've seen and having the 'excuse' of watching it again to share it with a friend. Some days this is as close as I get, and it is awesome to see your reaction. That is the best part of sharing a new thing with a friend.

Give him another award for this - 19:20
Wife endangered and killed the whole group, and continued to make horrible decisions, I don’t blame him one bit.
A very good sequel to the first one, these might be my favorite zombie movies ever.
We are extremely lucky to have 28 Years Later coming up next year, directed by Danny Boyle who directed the first one with Cillian Murphy making a comeback as a lead character.
Man i've waited too long for this story to conclude, i can barely wait
Idris albas American accent is the real horror of this movie
Not as bad as his atrocious Southern accent in that turkey extraordinaire, "Prometheus". Boggles my mind that they decided to have two British actors do bad accents. Plus Noomi Rapace's horrible British (?) accent.
@@tophers3756 nothing will beat Sean beans accent in silent hill🤣🤣🤣🤣 every time he says 'rose' I'm in bits
I have a completely different memory of this film. Definitely deserves a rewatch.
Just wanted to give a quick second to the ending, since I didn't hear you comment on it. In case you weren't able to fully process what you were seeing, 28 days after the kids were flown across the channel to France, we now see that the Rage virus has been introduced here as well - a previously infection-free country. (Remember that England was originally quarantined.) Andy was a carrier like his mom, but the kids didn't know about any of that. So the likelihood is that he inadvertently shared food or drink with Tammy or maybe even the pilot which started the chain of infection. I've heard other theories, but it boils down to the certainty that France became infected because of Andy.
Huh, I always thought it was because the infected made it across the reopened Channel Tunnel linking England and France.
@@rorybryant3282 I've heard that theory too, so that's possible! I just assumed that would've been well secured on both sides, if not at least on the French side. But I didn't write the script, so I guess we'll have to wait for the next installment for clarification lol
Very unlikely. We literally saw infected run into the tunnel between England and France. Simple as that.
What's funny is that 28 Days Later came out two years after 28 Days, so people thought it was a sequel to that movie.
Kat, Have you watched World War Z yet? Good watch.
28 days later and 28 weeks later were both horrific and sad. They both moved you and made you appreciate life more.
Kat! Please consider watching the original "Fright Night" from 1985 (and maybe the sequel.) Then you can watch the rebooted version from 2011 with Colin Farrell and compare.
The original Fright Night is a lot of 80s fun.
OK, Kat blurring The Bird is the true horror of this movie! I laughed so hard at that that I had to replay it to watch your hand positions go from fist to claw to Bird. You might be part Italian, Kat lol
Sunshine 2007 worth watching. Cheers!
i think my favorite part of your videos is when you give the score and at the end, pause, then do the plural s's and then smile.
Awesome reaction of my favorite Horror movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
I love your channel, Kat. How is it that you haven't fallen out of your chair with every jump scare?
Anyway, I would like to recommend the "Feast" trilogy for you. A combination of fast-paced, gory, comedy horror.
The dad would have 100% died if he'd tried to save the wife. The kids would have been orphaned, as far as he knew.
this is correct. the moral wrongdoing is really not that he ran, but that he lied to the kids.
lmao i had to watch your reaction at 10:18 over and over. omg I'm dying i laughed so much i was crying.
😂same here!
Please watch terrifier 2😭
your commentary was goldd! iwas dying laughing at your reactions the whole time
;D great video :)
For some obscure reason, some people here think that the mom "kissed the dad" with the intent to kill him. Seriously, WTH?
She was strapped to a table. He forced himself upon her while she was likely sedated and completely traumatized, psychotic and almost non-verbal. She didn't "do" anything, at all. But Don...Don should have known better. Blaming the mom for doing literally nothing is absolutely WILD. You can even see the surprise and sheer terror on her face when Don starts to turn.
And you guys think that's what she wanted?
Rewatch the first scene and you’ll understand why they think like that, Don never put a random child above the lives of his children or above the lives of people that saved him
And the only “surprise and sheer terror” she had was when he was about to kill her Not when he became infected
Yessss so glad Kat watched this one!! Love this movie ❤️❤️. The reaction to that opening scene was exactly what I thought it would be 😂
"American Gothic" (1988). Starring Yvonne de Carlo, from Vancouver, BC (Lily Munster). And "Teeth" (2007). Awesome revenge horror.
*Or maybe even "Quarantine" (2008), which is a shot-for-shot US remake of the Spanish film, "REC" (2007)*
Yaaaay my day just got so much better. New video. 🎉
The real horror of this movie is that Kat didn't say what the real horror was...
Cillian Murphy has signed on and 28 years later is already filming. It's supposed to be released June of 2025. What an amazing Zombie movie.
Not technically Zombies though as they don't die and come back....
@JohnDAmico-ci2hz ok. Thanks for arguing about symantics. Always has to be one in the crowd
they skipped 28 MONTHS later. yikes.
@zeller3228 the producers thought it woukd be to redundant to do months vs years.
