28 Days Later

[Kniegel]

Not recent, think 2002, but damn that was a good movie. Toward the end that one guy just kicked incomprensible amounts of ass. Pretty gorey.

[Kniegel]

Heh, it really is a very good movie.

[Albeano]

yeah, sweet movie.

It would suck to wake up nekkid in a hospital bed and be the ONLY living person around.

[GuitarFan]

Its a great movie and all but i cant help but giggle at the title :D

[SickGirl]

Well now you gave me a reason to watch it. I bought it for my DVD collection and never watched it. Thanks! :D

Don't watch it alone! That movie scared the crap outta me. I have a bad reaction to zombie movies . . . :o

[Star]

Don't watch it alone! That movie scared the crap outta me. I have a bad reaction to zombie movies . . . :o Bad reaction? I never imagined you to be scared. I figured you would beat 'em down with your whip! :p

[soso0901]

I actually didn't like the movie. Sure it wasn't the worste thing ever, but I didn't think it was good. I usually like scary movies too, this one just didn't do it for me.

[Dude Kaboom]

The best part for me was when he killed the one guy by squeesing his thumbs into the brain through the eyes. It's kind of a ripoff from the old 1971 movie 'The Omega Man' though.

[XenMia]

28 Days Later is awesome. The alternate endings kick ass as well. I especially liked watching the storyboard ending when they find a cure. I'm glad they didn't do that ending though...A) It doesn't make sense and B) I'm more paticular to movies that DON'T have a happy ending. My fav alt. ending? The guy dies and the 2 girls are left to fend for themselves. No one around... can't procreate to continue their genes.... just waiting to die alone.

Creepiest line in the movie is right before they see the wild horses...

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"That you'll never see a film that hasn't already been made or read a book that hasn't been written?" - Something to that effect anyway...kind of makes you think hm?

[Water2Funk]

It was, without a doubt, the best horror film in years. I always knew animal rights groups would be responsible for millions of deaths.

[capitalh]

That movie was good. Long, but still good.

[Disconnect This]

The movie was brilliant. I believe it expressed self-control under such circumstances.

also, UK got fucked :rolleyes:

[proton]

That movie was good. Long, but still good.

Sorry capitalh, I have to disagree. The movie was no way near long enough for me. What happens after Europe? A curious mind wanted to know.

;)

[Mr. Ram]

I bought the DVD big mistake its ok its way overrated though.

[Anaesthesia]

I liked it, very random ending haha. It's better than a majority of horror movies. :)

[plasticmonkey]

I was dissapointed by it. It was kinda boring sometimes and just seemed unsatisfying. I dunno, I just didnt like too much. I prefered Dawn of the Dead.

[Big D]

I thought it was pretty good...not the best horror flick, but definately above average. Damn zombies were motivated in that movie...

[DaIce72]

I was dissapointed by it. It was kinda boring sometimes and just seemed unsatisfying. I dunno, I just didnt like too much. I prefered Dawn of the Dead.

And Dawn of the Dead was satisfying? That movie ended with them sailing off to that island and no one knows what happens to them. At in 28 Days we know they are going to be rescued. In need closure in my movies, unless they are going to make a sequel.

[MikeRyu]

Just wanted to clear one thing up.

28 days Later IS NOT a Zombie movie.

[biscuit]

Just wanted to clear one thing up.

28 days Later IS NOT a Zombie movie.

any reason why?

[MikeRyu]

Yes.....yes there is.

The Infected are not dead nor do they have any extra special strength.

They run (Zombies Don't Run)

he film's creators said that it is not a physical infection but a psychological one.

They are basically ordinary people who have contracted a blind crazed rage.

It's a Virus movie, not Zombies.

[EatMYAte]

I hate to differ^

In all zombie movies it starts with a virus, and zombies DO run if they are motivated enough...Im not just saying that. If you watched Night of the Living dead...the new one i think, with the punks and that creepy tarface zombie....those zombies run....

[MikeRyu]

You mean the new Dawn of The Dead?

I stand by my sentiments that it is not a zombie film.

Hell, even the film's makers said it wasn't.

I wont deny though that it is heavily influenced by zombie movies such as Night of the Living Dead.

[Sgt Kabukiman]

28 days later is an awesome movie, its destined to be a cult classic in years to come, us English folk have a gift for creating solid horror movies.

One of my favourite things about horror movies is the character development, alot of recent horror lack it so you really couldnt give a shit if the characters die, 28 days later successfully did this where as the Dawn of the dead remake (which does borrow alot from 28dl) didnt so to me the human characters were zombie nosh from the start, its a shame really because the original Dawn of the dead's whole purpose is how the characters develop in a situation like this.

28 days later is dark, eree and full of atmosphere, there are alot of slow moments too but when you least expect it BAM! it gets exciting, When I first saw this movie I really got thrown back at the whole army stuff, the movie changes its tone so much I started to dislike it, but I understand in that situation anyone would act like they way they did, I mean if you are going to start civilization you need women even if they were young (I aint going any further there)

alot of horror buffs complain about how it ripped off George Romero's trilogy but I think it helps, go with what works..

ps- imo THEY WERE ZOMBIES!

[BuddRDwyer]

the movie was SHIT

[Albeano]

the movie was SHIT

It had a hot black chick with an english accent. what's not to like???

[Wire17]

Just wanted to clear one thing up.

28 days Later IS NOT a Zombie movie.

Well, your right, in a way. It is not just a zombie movie. Sure, it has zombies (yes, they are. Who says zombies cant run? Older movies? THey made up zombies have to walk slowly and go "uggghhhh", while this movie chose to make up zombies can run), and the blood and gore in other movies, but its more than a zombie movie. It is a study in human nature.

It is meant to be a physicological look at zombie movies. While most just try to scare the shit out of you, this one makes you think of life in a world without people. A life where the only things to look forward to is staying alive, as one charecter put it.

As soon as we see Jim wake up in the bed, we start thinking. How scary would that be to wake up, with no one in sight. No cars, no tv, no radio, there is nothing. All you see are a few random headlines explaining somehting that doesnt make sense. Then out of no where these people start chasing after you. There is no explanation or warning, they just do. And where most zombie movies immediatly go to the "Oh No! ZOMBIES!!!", we get to watch and imagine what it would be like to have all this happening to you. Seeing shots of the empty streets and houses only help solidify what you know is true, the entire world is dead.

Then, at the mansion, you get slapped with another big physicological aspect. While watching, you wanted nothing more than for Jim to kill all those soldiers, and you cheered when he did. But why? You know that the soldiers had a good point. The only way to continue living was by birth, and them "raping" the girls was the only way for anyone to surivive. Yes, you hated them for it, but you knew that it was actually what had to be done.

Then when the other soldier talks about how the world isnt dead, you get to thinking some more. Could this ever happen? Would it ever happen? If a virus did break out, would any other country risk sending in troops to stop it, in fear of it spreading. Again, you would want other to come to your aid, but you would know that the risk for them would be too great.

This movie was unbelivable. Most people that watch it turned off thier brains after seeing the monkeys go crazy. And once they do this, they expect pure zombie action, and dont register the much more meaningful aspects of.


*One thing i thought woulda been cooler for the ending. When we see the plane, insteadin of it ending right there, the play takes an immediate U-turn. You see the people faces smile, but instead of going to the credits right there, you get a quick, second long shot of the plane opening fire on them, THEN it goes to black. The shot of the plane firing would be instant, enough for you to jump, then its over. We dont see them die, or get hit or anything, just the plane fire. That really would have played up on how the other countries were afriad of infection. That woulda kicked major ass.

[Sgt Kabukiman]

I was watching 28 days later on tv yesterday and after the credits they a title appeared which said "what if" it basically showed a cleaned up version of the alternate ending on the dvd where Jim dies (not the crappy chicken ending)
I did not expect that

also imo Franks death is one of the saddest moments in horror history

[EatMYAte]

was frank the big jolly man with the beard? If so, yeah, his death sucked, and i think the white girl was hot...im 14 so, uh yeah, im not perverted...much ;)

[wtfsaidthat]

28 days later was a good movie. That guy with the body armor was awesome, too bad he died. :(

[TheCootAttacks]

Why was everybody so excited for this movie. i thought it was a huge dissappointment to scary movies.

[Coven66]

technecly they were not Zombies cus they were still alive, cus they died of starvation because the desise caused them to be filled with so much mindless rage that they couldn't perform a simple task of eating to survive, they just wanted to kill. but they were alive so they were not zombies, Just infectants as they were called in the film

[Cat Puncher]

I freakin love this movie. I've watched the commentary more times than I've actually watched the movie :rolleyes:

It's so much better than any of the Romero flicks (let the flaming begin). Yes, I know it was derivative, but so is every horror picture, and there's nothing wrong with that. Danny Boyle is very talented, and the grittiness of the movie was just great.

I agree that it isn't really a zombie movie. Zombie movies usually suck anyway, this is more of a disaster flick than anything. The characters make the movie great, because you could watch them in another movie, and they'd still be interesting. The same can't be said for the likes of the Dawn of the Dead remake. They are there to die. The 28 Days Later characters are there for you to root for. You can't care less about the Dawn characters.

That movie was good. Long, but still good.
113 minutes usually isn't considered that long. It's just kind of a grueling experience the first time, so maybe you thought it was longer than it was. I felt the same way about PTA's Hard Eight.

[P4yn3]

I wasn't scared at all by this movie. A shaky camera with a bunch of retarded zombies gets old after the 1st little bit.

I'd rather the movie continue with Jim (or whatever his name is) survive by himself in the city rather then poke the crap out of a bunch of creepy rapist soldiers.

Meh, it wasn't bad compared to half the crap that's getting released but still, the trailers said, " Scary as hell ". And at one trailer it said it was being compared to, " The Exorcist ".

Man, you don't compare SHIT to the Exorcist, it's still the best damn horror movie around!

[TinaBina]

i loved the movie. couldn't watch it more than twice or else it just becomes repititious. (that is one of the stupidest things i've ever said) but you know what i mean. it doesn't carry enough substance for it to be enjoyed more than 2 times because you already know what will happen. ok, i've confused myself. goodnight. ;)

[TheCootAttacks]

this movie sucks. i hated it. it was supposed to be really scary, but it was a huge disappointment

[Cat Puncher]

this movie sucks. i hated it. it was supposed to be really scary, but it was a huge disappointment

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of people can't change their expectation of a movie while actually watching it. They get preconceived notions, and if the film doesn't stick to it like glue, people will turn off their interest. The same thing happened a lot with Lost in Translation. They were expecting a Bill Murray comedy because of the trailer, it ended up being totally different, some people were disappointed and confused. The 28 Days Later trailer makes it out to be a full on horror movie, it isn't. It's better than just a zombie picture, and it's a helluva lot more engaging from a character standpoint. And a lot of people just couldn't get past the fact that it wasn't a complete horror movie, and that it was more of a suspense than a thriller. People just need to stop judging a movie's worth by its trailer's relevance.

[P4yn3]

The thing is Cat, I did judge it by the trailer and was expecting a horror movie but then the movie becomes alot less about the zombies and more about Jim (in the beginning). Then all of a sudden they screw us over from what would have been a decent psychological thriller to an all out zombie-killing-rapist-poking-black-guy-psycho-hunt.

It was just stupid in the end.

[Cat Puncher]

But it does become even more of a psychological thriller with that. I, personally, really dig the mansion scenes. Jim essentially becomes infected, and it creates more of an atmosphere, because he's become just like the "zombies." You aren't scared that he's going to die anymore, so that may be why you feel less suspense. But I really really liked those moments.

I'm cool with adjusting to different tones during a movie, as long as it's done well and isn't just being corny or playing to laughs etc.

[reigenborn]

i loved this movie and i cant stand zombie movies...It was crazy how u find out about england at the end.....but i enjoy corny ""scary""" movies.,,....

[LOJ]

the movie is pretty good but the alternate ending was pointless. nothing that different really happened besides the guy dying.

[E-DuB06]

I still havent seen that movie, looked like a low budget, bad horror movie but i might be wrong cuz i still havent seen it, just one i never got attracted to
