    28 Days Later Movie Description:
    A group of misguided animal rights activists free a caged chimp infected with the "Rage" virus from a medical research lab. When London bike courier Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma a month after, he finds his city all but deserted. On the run from the zombie-like victims of the Rage, Jim stumbles upon a group of survivors, including Selena (Naomie Harris) and cab driver Frank (Brendan Gleeson), and joins them on a perilous journey to what he hopes will be safety.
    28 Days Later is a 2002 British post-apocalyptic horror drama film directed by Danny Boyle, written by Alex Garland, and starring Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, Megan Burns and Brendan Gleeson. The plot depicts the breakdown of society following the accidental release of a highly contagious virus and focuses upon the struggle of four survivors (Murphy, Harris, Burns and Gleeson) to cope with the destruction of the life they once knew while evading those infected by the virus.
    The film received critical acclaim. Many praised Boyle's direction, the performances, Garland's screenplay, atmosphere and soundtrack. Despite Boyle not considering it a zombie film, 28 Days Later is credited with reinvigorating the zombie genre of horror film, with its fast-running infected and character-driven drama. It was also a financial success, grossing more than $82.7 million worldwide on its modest budget of $8 million and becoming one of the most profitable horror films of 2002.
    It was followed by a 2007 sequel, 28 Weeks Later, a graphic novel titled 28 Days Later: The Aftermath, which expands on the timeline of the outbreak, and a 2009 comic book series titled 28 Days Later. In 2017 a poll of 150 actors, directors, writers, producers and critics for Time Out magazine ranked it the 97th-best British film ever.

    This was one of the first movies done with completely digital cameras rather than film cameras. Hence, the graininess of the movie. The tech wasn't quite there yet. However, because digital cameras were lighter than film cameras and cheaper to use in the long run since you didn't have to buy rolls and rolls of film, it was way more cost effective and they were able to get shots you couldn't get if you had used a film camera. If the director, Danny Boyle had opted for film cameras, he could have never shot this. The London shots were done early in the morning before the city woke up for work. They didn't close down streets. They simply showed up with digital camera in hand and filmed as much as they could, as quickly as they could. And, personally, having wandered around London very early in the morning, (I got lost. Long story for another time.) let me say, an empty London is indeed very spooky town.

    Of the two big zombie pictures of the early 2000s that helped start the now-tiresome zombie craze, this was by far the best, with the “Dawn of the Dead” remake a respectable second place. “28 Days” turned the whole thing on its head in terms of narrative and characters, and it worked well (so well that “Walking Dead,” ahem, borrowed the coma thing when Rick similarly woke up from a coma in a hospital after getting shot amid the TV show’s zom-pocalypse about eight years later). The inferior sequel “28 Weeks Later” is worth seeing, as it begins really well----it peters out and doesn’t know where to go, so it got goofy, but it’s still worth seeing, particularly if you’re curious about what happened in England after the first wave of zombies died off. The other end of the spectrum is the bloated, CGI-heavy, over-the-top and stupid "World War Z," which represented everything that's wrong with Hollywood today. It's exactly what I would have expected after a bunch of studio execs in a room decide, "Hey, we need to make a big zombie movie to take advantage of this trend. We need a big name, maybe Brad Pitt, and get the computer guys on this. Make it BIG and LOUD, you know, like a Fast and Furious/XXX thing......"

      28 Days Later definitely redefined the Zombie genre of movies. It's nice that every few years or so there is a genuinely good Zombie movie or property that comes out. It's surprisingly consistent compared to a lot of other genres, although the amount of absolutely trash zombie properties give the good ones a bad name.
      #Alive came out last year and was pretty good IMO. Not perfect, but still good. And Train to Busan was just incredible.
      Another absolutely underrated Zombie flick that deserves a mention in the new era of Zombie movies is REC. Didn't change the genre or anything, but it's a great addition to the genre.

      Eh, as far as I'm concerned, they can be not zombies when they stop looking and acting like zombies. You don't necessarily have to die to become a zombie. It depends on the rules you pick since zombies aren't real. In the resident evil games and in world war Z they turn without dying and just sort of degrade into a zombie. In Japan, they just sort of hop around. In Arabic stories they're more like ghouls. In Haiti and Africa they're undead slaves. In the US, however, we just don't fucking KNOW what we want a zombie to be. Same goes for the UK. So Danny Boyle can say that all he wants to, he's just being pretentious by acting like his zombies being not dead is somehow original. Still a great movie, though.

    18:33 the fires in the city wasn’t exactly “their” tactic. I’ve read that during the early days of the outbreak the military and armed police forces were in constant retreat from their forward bases and blockades meant to be defensive lines to slow the infection between the cities like Manchester, and London. As the lines began to falter and forced to withdraw or in most cases, become overrun by the infected; entire motorways were left open for the infected to swarm into the cities. So with added loss of communication, Manchester was one of the few cities that fell in less than a day. Eventually a decision was made by the displaced government to fire bomb the city of Manchester. I’m sure the strategy behind it was to exterminate the infected inside the city but what they didn’t count on was that it would drive them out and force them to flee to the outlying villages and smaller cities that had no idea what was going on. In turn spreading the infection further. And I think the reports of infection reaching Paris and New York were fabricated during the exodus because the government didn’t want to risk a further spread of the virus to its neighboring allies.
    I don’t know if the director ever confirms this all as ‘canon’ to the story but it’s a good read on AlternateHistory. Google ‘28 days later outbreak timeline’

    This IS my favorite zombie film OAT. The fact that the regular humans are actually worse monsters than the zombies is a huge statement in this film. It’s the film that single-handedly revolutionized the zombie genre when it came out too, and even two decades later, it holds up. And more than holds its own. Cinematically, thematically, theatrically, and performance wise, it’s an extremely effective, and superbly well done film. LOVE it.

    This is a fantastic movie because it isn’t the typical “zombie” movie and is more realistic in what could happen with if a virus like “Rage” got out. I have 3 movies I would almost guarantee you’ve never heard of but I would highly suggest you put up on a poll or check them out to see if it is some thing you’d be interested in.
    1. Dark City - sci-fi murder mystery noire
    2. Ravenous - a western thriller with bite
    3. The Descent - a horror in a deep dark cave

      @@soberscrim299 There is an audio book that is apparently really good. The most frustrating thing about the World War Z IP is that it could have been a legitimate franchise. There are things mentioned in a single line in the book which could be films on their own like the idea of a the man reinforcing an ancient castle in Wales that becomes a haven for survivors, or the story of the students who fortified the university campus, and that's without getting in to the tales of people that became whole chapters.

      @@AnonEyeMouse to be fair even if the production ran smoothly and everything went according to plan the film didn't really reflect the unique character of the book or the undead. WWZ is fine as a zombie flick in its own right, and as a film ok to sit back and watch, but the major changes from slow to fast zeds and from changing the structure in the book of individual survivor accounts to how the film just followed Jerry Lane (of whatever his name is) was two stark differences that diverged too much from the book. A film that reflects the strengths of the book would be most welcome, and yes, even as 2 differing mediums I'm sure a film could be made in a much closer vein to the written source material. All the best 👍🏻

The music, the camera angles, all of it makes it a movie you feel and watch.

It works really well for the subject matter, and gives the movie that personal or real feeling that a typical glossy blockbuster just can't. It also made it cheap enough to for them to produce that they were able to fund the movie in the first place.
