Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about 28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)

Description
Hailed as the most frightening film since The Exorcist, acclaimed Director Danny Boyle's visionary take on zombie horror "isn't just scary…it's absolutely terrifying" (Access Hollywood).

An infirmary patient awakens from a coma to an empty room…in a vacant hospital…in a deserted city. A powerful virus, which locks victims into a permanent state of murderous rage, has transformed the world around him into a seemingly desolate wasteland. Now a handful of survivors must fight to stay alive, unaware that the worst is yet to come…

Amazon.com
The director/producer team that created Trainspotting turn their dynamic cinematic imaginations to the classic science fiction scenario of the last people on Earth. Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma to find London deserted--until he runs into a mob of crazed plague victims. He gradually finds other still-human survivors (including Naomie Harris), with whom he heads off across the abandoned countryside to find the source of a radio broadcast that promises salvation. 28 Days Later is basically an updated version of The Omega Man and other post-apocalyptic visions; but while the movie may lack originality, it makes up for it in vivid details and creepy paranoid atmosphere. 28 Days Later's portrait of how people behave in extreme circumstances--written by novelist Alex Garland (The Beach)--will haunt you afterward. Also featuring Brendan Gleeson (The General, Gangs of New York) and Christopher Eccleston (Shallow Grave, The Others). --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews for 28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)

Flawed but Fun Zombie Action
This movie surprised me by actually being halfway decent. It didn't overdo the zombie motif, as zombie movies tend to do. And it had some pretty interesting insights into human nature. At the end of the movie you're left with the conviction that the real monsters were the uninfected people, not the infected ones. I did have one major objection, though. Everything was too pristine. They did a good job of making the hospital look ransacked and doing the same for a few other locations that needed to be creepy so things could jump out at the main character, but at other times they show streets, stretches of highway, and whole city blocks where there are no crashed cars and no dead bodies. There's also still gasoline to be had, and when they go into the supermarket it's fully-stocked. All that just doesn't seem likely. All the same, though, a good movie.28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)

One of the better horror/cult films in past decade.
Very skeptical to see this film in theatres few years back. The storyline and film editing is excellent. Originally bought this film on vhs. Watched it so much, had to buy dvd format. Truly great horror film. Not to bloody or gruesome.
Tells of what could happen if any government wants to use us as a guinea pig in their wicked experiment. I bet most people watch this as entertainment but there is that underlying message: what if. LOVED IT! Still do!!!28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)

28 Days Later
First off this film was NOT A ZOMBIE FILM. It was a film about an infection that made the carrier turn into a homicidal bezerker. They did not eat their victims they just tried to infect them by bleeding on them. Nothing zombie about that. The film was passable for what it was, a cutesy little horror film. I will forever be haunted by that idiot main caracter walking through the deserted streets yelling hello. I watched this saying to myself please kill him. I have never wanted the main character of a film to be killed faster than this guy. I just didn't like this poor attampt at horror movie making. P.S. 28 weeks later was even lamer than this film.28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)

A better Zombie movie
This is probably a better zombie movie that is out there, because in the beginning it tells you how the virus was started.28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)
