Directed by Danny Boyle. Starring Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson, and Megan Burns. UK, Color, 113 minutes. 28 Days after a virus hit the world, three survivors try to survive in the empty streets of London, England. After one of their lot is killed, they decide to throw away that idea and, after meeting two more non-infected pals, proceed to a makeshift military base, where the women are used as sex objects and Jim (Cillian Murphy) barely escaped execution. Oh, and there are a bunch of zombies running around and killing people.
As a drama and a horror flick, 28 Days Later . . . succeeds where other films haven't. I'm sure everyone's heard why and how and have seen the movie 8 times, so I'm gonna keep this one short and to the point.
It's scary. It's visionary. It's damn good. It makes American horror look worse than it already does.
If your thick head can wrap itself around a slow-paced film that has more of a plot than Dude, Where's My Car?, then you'll love this contemporary take on the classic zombie movie.
