Summary: Beautiful art horror movie
Review: I bought the dvd today, and watched it a few hours ago, and I must say, this is one of the greatest movies i've seen in a long while.I do sort of agree that the later half of the movie gets a bit off track, but it all makes sense if you think about it. Its a very interesting plot, how no matter what virus or anything else tries to destroy the world, in the end, human kind will eventually destroy itself. Also, its a beautifully shot movie, with great directing and some pretty scary scenes, though nothing that is very frightening like some editorial reviews might suggest. All in all, great movie and a fine addition to any sci-fi horror collection.

Summary: British BOMB!!!
Review: Horror buffs need to take "28 Days Later" into muchly needed inconsideration. This had to be the slowest moving horror flick on the planet. While this British box-office smash was commended for chills and thrills..it is truly a fiasco. It had two moments of terror...222 moments of predictable JELLO. I spent $20 on this DVD. It's worth maybe $5.99. The soundtrack completely sucks...the acting is average...and the editing is the highlight. Unfortunately, when you edit one bad scene to the next, you simply can't win. This British loser must have been made by someone who ventured through WW2. It has the nauseating military twist to it that simply doesn't fit today. Why is it the British always want to embellish their hatred for the Germans? Move on!!!! Get a life!!!! Make a horror film and get away from those silly military fatigues. This one is simply billed as a horror film. That's right...it is simply horrible!!! It gets a 2!!! And that's being nice.

Summary: virus infected monkeys!
Review: A good reason when somebody tells you to not free a caged animals you better listen. The story started with a group of animal conservative break into a scientific facility, free virus infect monkeys that later destroy humanity. Well almost everybody... There's a few group of people left who strive in being uninfected and perhaps look for an antidote in the world of chaos and infected people who went crazy and cannibalise. I'm not sure about them being alive or not though. So what can I say, but, this is one of the best sci-fi movies that I ever watch. I recommend watching it.

Summary: I saw this! It was called "Dawn of the Dead"!!!!
Review: The two movies are so close in plot it's hard to believe though I really don't have a problem with it. The events were different and they both kept me in suspense. I loved them!

Summary: Hello..............?!
Review: I usually have little faith in horror movies, because almost all of them try to frighten their audience by substituting large amounts of gore and grotesque costumes for genuine acting. While this film does contain gore and violence, the actors did far more than simply scream and stand around to get eaten or killed. Cillian Murphy, who I've never seen in another movie, proved that he can act very well, and he does an excellent job of seeming frightened and confused at the beginning. The imagery in this film is great: a totally deserted London, carnage and corpses littering the streets and buildings, et cetera. The plot did not initially seem to be original, but it quickly becomes a film that stands out from its counterparts. The "infected" people are like zombies, but they are really living people that simply feel the need to kill. Like the interpretation of the rogue army squad's commander, the film can be seen as an analogy to everyday life--"people killing people," which seems to be normal. I thought that the more frightening sequences were the ones that made me use my imagination, such as when Serena's friend that helps rescue Jim after he flees the church describes his family's attempt to board an airplane when a mob of people is trying to do the same. The ending with the soldiers did feel like a different movie, but it went with the plot, and was probably better than some crazy attempt to wipe out the infected people, which would have ended up being ludicrous. If you are thinking of seeing a movie, go see this one, because it is one of the better new films I have seen in a while.

Summary: Tidy B-Flic Action Movie
Review: * At the beginning of 28 DAYS LATER, animal rights activists invade a
medical testing facility and proceed to release the animals, unaware
that these animals were being used for a dangerous biomedical study.
28 days later, a young man named Jim (Cillian Murphy), who had been
comatose after an accident, wakes up naked in his London hospital bed
and finds that nobody is around. He dresses and goes out into the streets, which seem deserted at
first, and after a number of adventures, finds out that the city's
population has been devastated by a plague, a virus that within
seconds of infection turns the victim into a howling, homicidal,
hyperkinetic, blood-vomiting maniac. He joins up with a pretty black
girl named Selena (Naomie Harris), who is not quite as tough as she
likes to pretend to be, and a cab driver named Frank (Brendan Gleeson)
and his teenaged daughter Hannah (Megan Burns). They leave London in
Frank's cab and drive towards Manchester in hopes of finding other
survivors. Are there any? Or has the entire world been devastated? The most apparent thing about 28 DAYS LATER is that it fits the
formula for a B-movie so well that it could almost be used as a primer
on the construction of such films. It features a small tight cast of
non-famous actors, with little in the way of special effects or even
studio stagework, and also follows a classic B-movie plot of the
apocalyptic kind. Given these features, however, 28 DAYS LATER is a tidy piece of work,
with a tight and well-paced plot, convincing acting by the cast, and
good production values given the limits of budget. To be sure, it
doesn't really transcend the limits of its genre -- the whole "rage
plague" scenario has logical holes one might drive a truck through,
like a latency of less than half a minute (?!), but such a failing
never kept other B-movie classics like NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD from
working effectively. It does have its memorable bits, however: Jim
lying in the leaves, staring up through the branches to see ... ; and
I liked the use of one of my favorite Brian Eno tunes, AN ENDING:
ASCENT, as part of the soundtrack. In sum, 28 DAYS LATER is entertaining for those with modest
expectations. It's not likely to win any awards, though it might
become a cult classic. I found it somewhat refreshing to watch a
movie that didn't try to overwhelm me with spectacle and special
effects for once.

Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST
Review: 28 days later is one of the greatest horror movies of all time. The story is so vividly told and the characters are gold. Though the movie wasnt as scarry as it was disturbing. Because the utter truth is the story could really happen. And that is what will scare the audience more than the blood thirste flesh feeding zombies. All people who see this movie will know right away that Danny Boyle is a horror movie genius and i want to see him direct more movies from now on. Hollywood will benifit from this a lot.

Summary: Don't Buy This If You Respect Yourself
Review: I love horror movies. I really do. This isn't a horror movie, it's just horrible. After the first few minutes, the only reason I continued to watch this was because my boyfriend was watching it and there wasn't anything better to do. It's awful. I don't get why people think this is a good movie or even comparable to the exorcist. It's slow moving and just plain BAD. I don't get how it gives you something to think about...I'm convinced these people are just in denial about how awful this movie really was and they're trying to talk themselves into liking it.

Summary: Best Zombie Movie Since 1979
Review: Alright so they're not technically zombies, but the movie follows all the usual genre trappings. In fact, it follows the zombie movie formula almost to a fault. (Each act of the film partially correlates with one of George Romero's trilogy, including the somewhat weak finale.) Why is it still worthy of five stars then? Two reasons. First is because of the brilliant use of digital video in a theatrically released movie. Boyle does an excellent job of playing up the strengths of video, and using interesting compositions and editing to dance around its weaknesses. He even takes advantage of the quick setup time video affords to create the soon to be iconic abandoned London sequence. (I'd like to see the budget of that scene compared to Vanilla Sky's abandoned New York.) The second reason this movie gets such high marks is, for fans of the genre at least, it manages to hit more high marks than any zombie film since Dawn of the Dead, including Dawn's Sequel. So stay far far away if you can't stand zombie movies or the look of digital video, but for everyone else, it's well worth the price of admission.

Summary: THOUGHT PROVOKING
Review: The makers of this film have obviously done their homework. Witness the shots of Jim roaming the deserted streets (which could be swapped out for similar scenes in The Omega Man [1971]), the neck chained PVT Mailer (who must be a long lost relative of Bub's from Day Of The Dead [1985]), and the animal rights activists breaking into a testing lab (12 Monkeys [1995]) which sets off the whole thing. Having pointed that out, I'd just like to say that this movie goes beyond homage and moves into groundbreaking territory. Taking the basic zombie premise and mixing it with a plague angle that could easily have been ripped from today's headlines, this film breathes new life into the slightly played out horror movie genre. Particularly chilling are the kinetic attacks by the "infected" (not as slow as the classic zombies we've been lulled into expecting) as well as the full body burn shots. A great cast, an excellent story, and a beautifully shot film. Watch this movie and see if you ever view the evening news the same way again. I doubt it.
