Two, the movie might not have been able to be made in the way it was with traditional film cameras. And it's an important distinction for two reasons: One, it was one of the first major (like, a movie that normal people could see at their local theater) movies shot entirely on digital. The tone of that films first half is some of the most effective horror atmosphere ever put to cellulose.Īt the risk of sounding like a know-it-all, it was filmed on digital. This works for me and it's why I really enjoy this movie. They are still living and can die from normal means just like regular non-infected humans. With 28 days later, they aren't the traditional dead zombies and are basically infected with super rabies. Suddenly, in death, these former humans are faster and more agile than they ever were in life. Humans trying to survive in a world of the running dead doesn't seem as feasible, especially if they are the type of running zombies that will climb over each other to scale a giant wall. When you have fast moving zombies, a single zombie is a threat. It also makes sense that people can try to manage the threat and survive. I like that coming across one zombie isn't too much of a threat but that it's getting overcome by a swarm of zombies that will slowly tear you apart that you have to worry about. I won't completely dismiss media that has fast zombies but overall I think traditional slow moving zombies work better and make more sense. Personally, on a sub-Reddit about movies, I always like seeing any sort of discussion whether it's about popular movies everyone knows or lesser movies people may not know. Some people have the mentality of "you liked insert popular movie here, why even post that" and that's fine to think that. I just got done watching 12 Monkeys and I'm definitely planning on watching 28 Weeks Later in the coming days.

But after letting the movie digest for a few days I wanted to share my thoughts in hopes people can share their own experience with the movie.Īlso feel free to recommend any other movies you think is comparable with 28 Days Later.
Of course I realize this movie is widely loved and my opinion is that of many. The emptiness in the streets, all the while knowing they were only moments away from something bad happening was great.
I loved the music and the way the movie captured the feeling of the world being ruined was so good. The acting of course was amazing but with people like Cillian Murphy and Brendan Gleeson in the movie, it's expected. The suspense throughout the movie was perfect. I was expecting good things but it blew me away more than I could have imagined. So yeah, I love the idea and it’s very appealing to me.I know I'm late but at least I finally got around to watching it. It really stands up, which is amazing for a film that’s 20 years old. Because I showed it to my kids recently, some Halloween about four or five years ago, and they loved it. "But every time I do bump into Danny or Alex I always mention it. "I think there’s a problem with that, in that I’m 20 years older," he said. Murphy is also very open to coming back and reprising the role of Jim, which essentially finally gives fans a canonical answer as to his fate at the end of the first movie (an alternate ending shows him dying). It’s funny, I hadn’t thought about it until you just said it, and I remembered ‘Bang, this script!’ which is again set in England, very much about England. "It feels like a very good time actually. In a recent NME story celebrating the film's 20th anniversary, Boyle and leading man Cillian Murphy (whose career took off in part due to his performance here) reflected on their experience of making 28 Days Later, and teased the possibility of a third instalment in the series, following 2007's 28 Weeks Later.Īccording to Boyle, Garland completed a script for a third movie, entitled 28 Months Later, a couple of years ago, and it is a really "lovely idea" for a story. Directed by Danny Boyle with a script from cult novelist Alex Garland (who has since gone on to become one of Hollywood's most celebrated screenwriters), it made the undead scary again by getting rid of the slow, staggering trope and instead turning zombies into rage-fuelled, fast-moving monsters.Īnd those angry, biting hordes could be making their way back onto our screens again. When 28 Days Later was released in 2002, it brought new life to a flagging subgenre of horror: the zombie apocalypse.
