Animal activists invade a laboratory with the intention of releasing chimpanzees that are undergoing experimentation, infected by a virus -a virus that causes rage. The naive activists ignore the pleas of a scientist to keep the cages locked, with disastrous results. Twenty-eight days later, our protagonist, Jim, wakes up from a coma, alone, in an abandoned hospital. He begins to seek out anyone else to find London is deserted, apparently without a living soul. After finding a church, which had become inhabited by zombie like humans intent on his demise, he runs for his life. Selena and Mark rescue him from the horde and bring him up to date on the mass carnage and horror as all of London tore itself apart. This is a tale of survival and ultimately, heroics, with nice subtext about mankind's savage nature.
Leave your thoughts about 28 Days Later.
| Strange HorizonsWalter ChawWhen 28 Days Later decides to frighten, which it does often, it manages to do so with a kind of ugly vigor. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeDanny Boyle's new shocker is intense, disturbing, thought-provoking and clearly the horror movie of the year. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisBoyle is to be commended for taking what easily could have been a typical zombie movie and producing a film that not only scares the audience, it makes them think. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayYet another example of how a small and talented cast, a great script, a relatively modest budget, and some inventive film making can render a far superior horror film. |
| 3BlackChicks ReviewKamal 'The Diva' LarsuelThis movie will still be on my mind 28 days later. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsGlenn LovellThis is the stuff of which night tremors are made. |
| Arizona RepublicBill MullerHas enough chills and thrills -- as well as plenty of nearly dead creatures -- to rank among the scariest and most ingenious horror movies in recent memory. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comScott Von DoviakA grim slog through mud, rain and poorly lit corridors. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceFew movies have managed to tap into our fears of bioterrorism, the unknown and sociopathic rage as effectively as this one does. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Funnier and smarter than the average movie in which flesh-eating ghouls chow on each other. |
