Review of 28 Days Later (2002) by Adrian Z — 05 Nov 2013
Refreshing take on the zombie movie genre, sees director Boyle depicts the zombification of England through the spread of a deadly monkey borne rabies-like virus called "Rage" whilst focusing more on survivor psychology than gory headbashing.
Murphy wakes up from a coma 28 days after the zero-event to find the world as he knew replaced by a desolate wasteland, where he eventually teams up with a few survivors to try and find a safe haven whilst avoiding the infected, alas it may be that some of the survivors themselves are the greater danger.
The film is grim and sufficiently down-to-earth to be believable, but it's murky cinematography (even on a Blu-Ray transfer) is ugly and tiring to look at.
