<em>'28 Days Later'</em> is ace! As someone who adores <em>'The Walking Dead'</em>, this was always going to be something to enjoy; it does play out like a TWD storyline, hitting every beat that you'd see in that show - only a good thing. How about that cast list, by the way? Cillian Murphy. Naomie Harris. Brendan Gleeson. Christopher Eccleston.…

I get why 28 DAYS LATER is considered a horror classic. It revitalized the zombie genre while still delivering a thought-provoking narrative exploring human nature & societal collapse. Its use of digital video allows for an immersive atmosphere & Cillian Murphy's breakthrough performance is truly something to behold. I really, really enjoyed it! Rating: B+

Despite being warned that a group of monkeys about to be released from a lab by some anti-vivisectionists are laced with disease, they let one of them out anyway and next thing it's a month later and "Jim" (Cillian Murphy) wakes up in hospital all by himself. There's not a soul to be seen, anywhere.…

The first to introduce a fast-moving "infected" horde, ratching up the tension significantly. 3. The first to infect people instantly (within seconds).…

_28 Days Later_ was made on a very small budget in the early days of digital cinema, so, yes, in retrospect, it does look a little bit like it was shot on a Nokia 3310, and yes, it is heavily responsible for the bilious deluge of zombie movies we got in its wake, which we are only now finally recovering from - but it's so **good**. _Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._

**mild abstract spoiler ahead** My feelings about this movie may very well be extended towards Boyle's movies in general : solid direction overall, but events did not fail to go from situational and behavioral realism to sudden heroical action nonsense.
