Description
Twenty-eight days have passed since a deadly virus was accidentally released from a British research facility, and the world as we know it has unraveled. In the heart of London, a small group of survivors finds themselves entangled in a relentless battle—not just for survival, but for their very humanity.
The virus, merciless and indiscriminate, spreads with terrifying ease among both animals and humans, transforming its victims into creatures consumed by primal rage and an insatiable thirst for violence. Those infected are no longer recognizable—once-familiar faces now twisted into monstrous parodies of what they once were. The disease knows no boundaries, no cure, and no end in sight.
Amidst this chaos, the fragile bonds between the survivors are tested to their limits. Fear gnaws at their hearts, while hope clings stubbornly to the edges of their minds. Each day is a desperate fight not only against the infected, but also against despair itself—a constant struggle to hold onto sanity when the world around them has descended into madness. Their story is one of resilience, sacrifice, and the unyielding will to endure, even in the face of unimaginable horror.
In this shattered cityscape, where every shadow hides a threat and every breath could be their last, these few souls carry the weight of all that remains of humanity. Will they find a way to survive—or succumb to the darkness closing in around them?

"28 Days Later" is a British horror movie directed by Danny Boyle and starring Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris. The film tells the story of Jim (Cillian Murphy), a courier who wakes up from a coma to find London abandoned and overrun by rage-infected humans. The film's opening sequence is one of the most iconic and powerful in horror movie history. Jim wakes up in a hospital room to find the world he knew has disappeared, and the eerily deserted streets of London make for an unsettling and ominous backdrop. The film is expertly paced, with a gradual buildup of tension that keeps the audi...

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. He can't spend the entire film wandering about naked, so finds some scrubs and goes exploring - gradually gleaning information about the plague that led to the evacuation of the cities and to his current isolation. It's not as if he had anything to do with the release of this virus, but he now has t...

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+

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.

It started off as rioting. But right from the beginning you knew this was different... 28 Days Later is directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. It stars Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Megan Burns, Brendan Gleeson and Christopher Ecclestone. Music is by John Murphy and cinematography by Anthony Dod Mantle. When animal liberation activists break into the Cambridge Primate Research Center, they come across a scientist who tells them that to release these chimps would be insane. They have been injected with a test serum known as "Rage", and it's highly contagious and spreads easi...

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 . 28 Days Later good Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite.



Repo Jack
One of the best zombie movies ever made with many of the genre's "firsts:" It also has one of the best movie scores, one that rivals those from John Carpenter classics "Halloween" and "The Thing." It is striking how the music can elevate a movie or a scene. The biggest issue, which to be fair, is not something Danny Boyle and his crew could...
