28 Weeks Later

I thought this was one of the best movies I’d ever seen.
I rate a movie by how it affects me after leaving the theatre- and after this one we crept home keeping a very careful eye on our fellow pedestrians lest they suddenly start wanting to rip us apart with their bare hands.
After a few weeks the effects of movie induced paranoia have lessened somewhat but I still like to give myself a tiny thrill by imagining that person across the street is infected, just hasn’t seen me yet!

I’m very tough on movies but I do have a soft spot for zombie films. I don’t care that technically the 2 movies don’t portray “real” zombies but rather “infected” folks…the infected kind of have the same arc as a zombie,don’t they? They get turned and then they want to kill you whether or not they are a family member. Same as any zombie worth his salt would.

And can you deny the opening scene of 28 Weeks Later was not one of the most exciting, horrifying, frenetic and utterly brilliant scenes ever?
