28 Days Later - 2002

Danny Boyle came from some truly great films, and when he decided to direct this little bad boy, well, it caught my attention faster than Trainspotting. I had read about 28 Days Later for a few months before I got my greedy little hands on my Region 2 copy of the DVD. I got it in the mail, ran up stairs, dusted off my Region Zero player and popped the bad boy in for a night of new movie. I was in glee at a movie that woke me up and made my skin crawl. I told all my friends about it. Finally, a month later, the movie came out to US theaters. I told them all to go. It was a grand ‘ole time.

Now, just to clarify. This movie is technically a zombie film, in theme ONLY! There are NO zombies in the movie. None at all. This is in par to how the movie Alien is a ghost house movie (being trapped in a location with no means out and being hunted by something not of your species). So, just remember when you’re talking to someone about 28 Days/Weeks and soon to be Months Later, not to use the word zombie, because it makes you look ignorant.
