*"...right from the beginning you knew this was different. Because it was happening in small villages, market towns. And then it wasn't on the tv anymore. It was in the street outside. It was coming in through your windows."* One of my favorite quotes from this movie.
Woo!! 28 Days Later is easily one of my favourite films in the world. Despite how many times I have watched it, I always feel like I notice something new, I just think it's been masterfully made.
Not really a bonus thing, so much as a quickly glossed over thing that I feel deserved it's own point: 28 Days later was so low budget it couldn't be filmed on 35mm and had to be shot digitally. And though most movies are shot digitally now days, remember this was 2002, so were not talking 4K RED cameras here, were talking _standard definition _*_360P_*_ digital tape camcorders_ baby! Probably about the same resolution as 2006 era RUclips. Literally the camera on your camera on your smartphone is probably 10 times the image quality. In other words, this movie was *filmed on a potato*. Fortunately the potato look worked stylistically with the apocalyptic tone of the movie. The only scene shot on high quality 35mm was the ending where FOX gave them more money. This was done to give the ending a cleaner, more optimistic look.
Danny Boyle was was heavily inspired by the album, F♯ A♯ ∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, in the making of 28 Days Later. He said in an interview, "I always try to have a soundtrack in my mind [when creating a film]. Like when we did Trainspotting, it was Underworld. For me, the soundtrack to 28 Days Later was Godspeed. The whole film was cut to Godspeed in my head." The song East Hastings is playing in the film when Cillian Murphy is wandering the empty streets of London.
Bonus fact: To save money and maintain order, the production would only close the streets of London for 45 minutes at a time to get the shots that they needed. Bonus bonus fact: Because they only had 45 minutes to prepare each shot, the film was mostly shot on a Canon XL1 camcorder as opposed to a more complicated film camera.
Sometimes I hear the name Danny Boyle for the first time ever and realize he gave me one of my favorite Zombie films of all time... but I'll forget his name again like 4 days.
This is definitely my favorite "zombie" movie. I don't mind there is only one big explosion. I also liked the no corpses route. Sure it's kinda odd given the circumstances and if you read the comic books but it realllly drove home this eerie creeo factor that's really well present to me at least. Like it's just creepy how a city filled with millions is suddenly a ghost town and that was a well made decision
The opening scene is wonderful, his standing on the bridge in an empty city screaming "HELLO!!". And the one thing that movie did that truly freaked people is the speed of the zombies, no lumbering corpses here!
I would love a second episode on 28 Days Later cause I already knew all of these. I watch the movie almost every year for Halloween in a double feature with The Thing (1982 version); the best horror movies ever put to celluloid.
Two things stand out, for me, in this incredible movie. Firstly, I thought that the scenes around London, minus the bodies, gave it more emotional impact. It really drove home what it would feel like to NOT be one of the undead. Secondly, the image of Manchester in ruinous flame above the deserted highway underpinned the hopelessness of their situation. I have seen both versions of the movies ending ( the "What if..." sequence) and I know which one would have been more likely. One of the truly great directors. Oh Danny Boy!!
For the past several years I’ve watched 28 Days Later for my Halloween tradition. Even with parties and trick or treating when I was younger I always made it happen. It’s really awesome seeing my favorite horror movie get listed
Case there might have been if the plot of the 2nd was a little better, the whole part where everyone crams into one large room with no lights and one zombie gets in through a back unlocked and unguarded door seemed unrealistic and rushed and ruined it for a lot of ppl myself included :/
As a straight up horror; a "serious" zombie in a sense, 28 days later is in it's own league. I don't even see Shan of the Dead as being in the same genre really.
I always liked that there were laundry baskets on the roof because it kinda showed the desperation of "Goddamn we need water and we'll use whatever we can to get it."
About the movies intro, I've always felt it was an homage to Day Of The Triffids since the similarities are abundant. Saw it in the theater and immediately got that vibe and knew I was in for a treat.
@@Zerofightervi He spoke clear finnish. Last thing he says is "Lähetätkö helikopterin? " and it means "could you send a helicopter?". The plane had a RAF logo on it so it was british but why on earth would there be finnish people doing recoinnacance in UK
@@jrh7178 the story is supposedly that Britain is the only infected location so the Nordic countries operate a blockade to and from the island. There was apparently a graphic novel made as a sequel which explains this
Fact 8- Danny Boyle cut the scenes of deserted London at the beginning to Godspeed You Black Emperor’s song East Hastings without knowing if they would let him use it. When he reached out they agreed but as long as they weren’t credited or included on the soundtrack.
I hope the gritty camera returns. That signature style camera of both the films. The infected in this movie are literally the only form of infected/zombie that has be uneasy to look or think about.
Dave Cross Nah, what he said was "*in* hospital." North Americans don't generally use the word "in" right before the location like that (for example, it'd be "at the hospital" or "in *the* hospital"), whereas British people sometimes do (like "in hospital") Edit: btw, I realized I was too broad in my description; North Americans (like myself) actually do say "in [location]" for some places/contexts, this example just isn't one of them
I was going to write this comment because I genuinely can't think of what Americans would call a hospital other than a hospital because.. well... thats what it is lol.
Dave Cross Americans will say "I was in the hospital/the school" and Brits "I was in hospital/in school" They also say things like "she was sat at the desk" instead of "she was sitting at the desk".
One of the best channels on the whole Internet!! Great episode people, and if you gave any time up your sleeves, please do a second episode on '28 Days Later' 😎
This was the Secret Surprise film at the Stockholm Film Festival. No title announcement, no clues, nothing! I had read about this film so when the title came up I knew what it was - but if you've seen it you know that the title also doubles as the explanatory text indicating how long it's been between the chimp lab and Jim waking up in the hospital. So anyone in that theatre that didn't know there was a film coming out called "28 Days Later", probably saw the whole thing and left the theatre still not knowing the name of it! 😀
They should make a “28 Seconds Later” or a “28 minutes”, “28 hours later”, to show the initial outbreak as a prequel to 28 days later. To show just how fast and real the rage virus spread through the UK.
Omg that would be so cool! If they ever do 28 months later they should totally do this at the start of the film, starting with 28 second later and showing a 10 second clip then 28 minutes later then 28 hours later just showing small clips like people running and getting killed then skip to 28 months later.
Max S. In anderen Sprachen werden Dinge halt anderst ausgesprochen. Wenn du über Brasilien redest sprichst du's wohl kaum als "bɾaˈziw" aus wie die einheimischen. So sprechen halt Amerikaner aufgrund von ihrer phonetischen Prägung :)
the weird thing wasn't just empahsis on the u, but it was more the stoot-gart. If he would have pronounced it the way any american pronounces it like the u in put or but, and not like stoop or poop
I love this movie. Easily one of my favorite films. I'm glad you guys made this since you didn't include or mention 28 Days Later in the Top 5 Horror Movies list
Here's a little thing not many people would know.... There's a deleted scene only available on the film's Soundtrack (as an enhanced extra on the disc) where the cast sing along to 'Hotel Yorba' by The White Stripes while they are driving to the North. Weather it wasn't used because of run time, licensing for the track or because it's pretty obvious that the cars outside aren't static we'll probably never know...... Unless someone asks Danny about it if they so happen to bump into him.
It's really a great movie, even nowadays. I first saw it at age 7 with my older brothers that had around 20 and 21 and IT.WAS.SCARY. And even nowadays when i try to watch it i always end up with a weird throw-up feeling, but in a good way. Overall it was well produced movie.
I've seen it at least 3X; it's my favorite zombie movie. Forgot about it being 15 years old, but that makes sense since I've been sober 14 years. I was absolutely fried when I saw it first at the theater.
I prefer the grim ending of Jim dying and the women walking off with the guns into an uncertain future. You know there is hope because we all saw the plane
I have defended the laundry baskets in that scene several times. To me, it was a sign of just how desperate they were for water, that even the probably-not-even-a-quarter-inch deep bottom of a laundry basket would be worth using.
What charmed me about the film was its cast of voices (it is that I live in Mexico and also saw the original) the camera approaches in the action scenes, and I really loved it was its strange characters and its Soundtrack... that one of them were Godspeed You! Black Emperor
*"...right from the beginning you knew this was different. Because it was happening in small villages, market towns. And then it wasn't on the tv anymore. It was in the street outside. It was coming in through your windows."*
One of my favorite quotes from this movie.
And also yes I hope this gets a part 2. Please!
"INFECTED with WHAT?!
**........rage.**
And of course the romantic line at the film's climax:
**...That was longer than a heartbeat.**
Coronavirus 2020 😯
That's Day of the Dead, though
That church scene when some of the rage victims turn to look up at him when he calls out still makes my skin crawl.
Me too. That scene has coloured my nightmares maaaaany times
Such an amazing beautifully shot scene. Really captures the heart of a viral apocalypse. People would flee to churches and man is it creepy. HELLO !!
I take if these are some of the first infected considering it takes them a whole to react. Other than just staring. Because I don't understand if.
The thing that made 28 days later such a great movie is how realistic it was made to be
Did they made it in 28 days?
Joseph Lowry na 28 hours mate
@@josephlowry4320 no they did it in 28 minutes mate
Except like.. the part where Jim lives after getting shot even though he should have totally died. (I feel like that would have been a better ending)
@@Safe_revenue nah think again 28 seconds
Bonus thing. The Explosion that lasts less than 30 seconds in the film took up about 5-10% of the budget. Boom.
Imagine how much money goes to micheal bays movies explosions...
BadMouseProductions That must have been one hell of an explosion.
Oh that was it?
hey comrade! didnt expect to see you here!
I don't even doubt that... lol
Still waiting for 28 months later.... :(
*DÖNER* you are not alone!
Might be 28 years later....
...Maybe they didn't make it. ; ^ ;
28 Weeks Later was too weak and hackneyed to call for another sequel.
*DÖNER* this movie REALLY does not need a sequel. It’s a perfect lone movie.
Woo!! 28 Days Later is easily one of my favourite films in the world. Despite how many times I have watched it, I always feel like I notice something new, I just think it's been masterfully made.
Agreed.
Unbound Chris this is unrelated but thats how I feel about saving private ryan every time I watch it I notice something new
Me 2. My all time fav. It's like a beautiful/tragic symphony. Haunts me. ❤
Unbound Chris same here. SELENNNA
It was awesome.

You've basically just told us in a nut shell what the guy narrating the video said. You crack me up man haha
MiniDV is a beatiful medium, 480p* though
Only having film at the end with the clarity really ended up working so well

That explains the quality in some scenes.
That's the same cam we had in video production class at my high school
sometimes i forget what a varied set of films Danny Boyle has directed
Sometimes I hear the name Danny Boyle for the first time ever and realize he gave me one of my favorite Zombie films of all time... but I'll forget his name again like 4 days.
Its like you literally never know what kind of movie danny boyle will direct next
He’ll never top trainspotting though, even the sequel was average at best
TheChowie hmmm yeah it's a tie between This Is England and trainspotting
And the Olympics opening and closing ceremonies. The man is a great story teller.
Best zombie movie ever made... don't argue
Victor Von Deathstroke Dawn of the dead ?
Return of the Living Dead...
Victor Von Deathstroke not really a zombie movie
And theres tons better anyway
They're not dead. Therefore not zombies. Had to say it. Sorry.
Day of the Dead
*"Ok Jim. I've got some bad news"*
"Have you ever seen casualty?"
Wade Barrett, is that you?
“Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself”

man I love this movie glad you finally covered it or accidentally covered it twice which ever I don't feel like checking any more than you do
As an Englishman who lives in England and interacts daily with other "Brits" Neither I or anyone I have ever met has said "tallyho"
Tally-ho pip-pip and Bernard's yer uncle
It's Bob's your uncle! You amateur
I really thought there was gonna be a third one the way the second one ends.
Case there might have been if the plot of the 2nd was a little better, the whole part where everyone crams into one large room with no lights and one zombie gets in through a back unlocked and unguarded door seemed unrealistic and rushed and ruined it for a lot of ppl myself included :/
Please do a part 2 for 28 Days Later
-Also please do a "things you (probably) didn't know about" for 28 Weeks Later
Danny Boyle directed the only Zombie movie I like.
Bradford Jones Shaun of the Dead?
Okay I guess there are two.
TheBooce OfBungles That was directed by Edgar Wright
As a straight up horror; a "serious" zombie in a sense, 28 days later is in it's own league. I don't even see Shan of the Dead as being in the same genre really.
John Howard Fair do's it's hard to classify
I always liked that there were laundry baskets on the roof because it kinda showed the desperation of "Goddamn we need water and we'll use whatever we can to get it."
I love the grainy feel and look of the film. Makes you feel hopeless
*Yes!* This is my favorite infected/zombie film ever!
i love the secret / alternative ending where they transfuse frank's blood with jim's
Low budget, and still the best "zombie" franchise ever, except the name, the perfect name would have been "Monkey madness"
Please do a part 2 of this please and do and episode on citizen Kane and fear and loathing in Las Vegas please
About the movies intro, I've always felt it was an homage to Day Of The Triffids since the similarities are abundant. Saw it in the theater and immediately got that vibe and knew I was in for a treat.
Otaku Hanzo day of the triffids is why I refused to look at the last solar eclipse lol
I like the "happy" ending they went with even though the other ending was more realistic
No mention of the Finnish jet pilot piloting a Russian aircraft in UK :)
Russian aircraft? I believe that's a Hawker Hunter, a British aircraft.
I'm assuming the pilot is British too.

My favourite horror movie of all time. No doubt. And the scene where Hannah changing the wheel... Oh my god.
I remember going to the theater to see this when it first premiered. It never disappointed me! One of my favorite horror films.

I miss when horror movies were good

28 Weeks Later in 28 Days Later I would love to see them make another sequel enjoy one of my favorites
Speaking of buckets
Il never forget what my grandad said right before he kicked the bucket
he said:" son.......Ima kick this bucket"
We've never said Tally Ho! 😂😂
They need to make a 28 years later
Once again an american underestimates just how precious a cuppa is to a brit.
Shots fired and Lohan and Bay! I never noticed the laundry baskets on the roof in that scene hahaha
Another classic choice, keep it up cinefix!
an absolute class, and again hats off for the insight :-) rock on
One thing I do know is I'm never sick of seeing it. Oh and that church scene was the most scary of them all to me.
Side note from a German:
Stuttgart is pronounced with emphasis on the double T, not on the U.
Max S.
In anderen Sprachen werden Dinge halt anderst ausgesprochen. Wenn du über Brasilien redest sprichst du's wohl kaum als "bɾaˈziw" aus wie die einheimischen. So sprechen halt Amerikaner aufgrund von ihrer phonetischen Prägung :)
I'm finding it hard putting emphasis on a consonant
How does one put vocal emphasis on a consonant? In English - at least Australian English - it just naturally falls to the vowel.
the weird thing wasn't just empahsis on the u, but it was more the stoot-gart. If he would have pronounced it the way any american pronounces it like the u in put or but, and not like stoop or poop
28 days later was a movie that really had an emotional impact on me. I walked around in a daze for about 12 hours afterwards
