Summary: Worth Taking A Chance On
Review: I had never heard of this movie before watching it and had no idea what it was going to be about. Someone just brought it over to my house. If you've read the other reviews you already know the premise of the film so I won't recap. Obviously many people didn't like it. Some of the people who didn't like it were people dumb enough to think it would be a good movie to watch along with their children. Obviously these are people of poor judgement and should not be trusted. There are others who didn't think their was enough gore. Many of my favorite horror movies are heavey on 'gore' but I don't think that pools of blood are what make a movie frightening. If all you wan't to see is gore than this is not the film for you. Those who didn't like the film because it didn't have an original story line are the only one's that have a valid point IMO. The story is a cross between 'Outbreak' and 'Dawn Of The Dead'. So, yes, it's been done before. This movie simply combines those idea's and makes a very good movie out of them. Being a fan of Romero's work didn't ruin this film for me. Here's what I liked about the film: It gives the viewer a genuine sense of emptiness and paranoia. The inflicted(Zombies as some have refered to them) are not bumbling baffoons. The 'RAGE' they have contracted provokes them to behave as rabid dogs rather than zombies in desperate need of prozac. I'm not really sure why directors usually love to portray zombies as slow and stupid. The acting is neither bad nor great. I like that the protagonists are not turned into superheros. They pretty much speak and behave as normal human beings would. It gives the movie a sense of realism and darkness. Most horror movies have acting that is either very bad or over the top. Although it's considered a horror movie it's more than that. It's a parable about the essense of being human. The protagonists find themselves stuck in a tough position. If they care too much and become to attached to each other they will most likely not survive. On the other hand, if they are unable to care about or have a meaningful connection to anyone what is the point of their survival? I thought the scene where the little girl tells the rest of the group 'you need us as much as we need you' was very powerful. It makes you think about how your decisions and actions affect the quality of your life. Overall, it's a good movie. Not a fiver but worth four for being suspensful and thoughtful. Much better than most of the thrillers they've been putting out the last few years.

Summary: Watcher beware...
Review: After seeing the previews, and then the interviews with people during and after the movie who were shown screaming in the theater and singing praises to it's horror, my boyfriend and I were excited to see 28 Days Later. But after the first 20 minutes I was ready to demand my money back (my boyfriend, however, is stubborn and wanted to finish it). Don't get me wrong - I admire Cillian Murphy and Danny Boyle, and the use of digital filming was very creative. However, it wasn't scary in the least. It was a joke. And the whole "end-of-the-world, women-as-sex-slaves bit was ridiculous. If this were a first-time director using homemade props and kitchen-brewed special effects, I might be slightly impressed. Oh, I know it was a "low budget independent film" - it's budget was a mere $8 million. $8 million!?! Give me a break!
As a movie fan, especially sci-fi type flicks, I am completely baffled by the good reviews given to this movie by other people. Like one of those who did rate it (in my mind) accurately, it makes me wonder if I saw the same movie everyone else did. The only explanation I can come up with is mass hallucination, perhaps via spiked popcorn, and as we didn't munch that time, we managed to escape the poisoning...
If you insist on seeing this movie, I would advise you to go in with very low expectations; maybe then you won't have as far to fall as we did.

Summary: A Bloody Good Movie
Review: I was somewhat sceptical about this movie before I saw it. I have seen so many bad horror movies that I have almost given up on horror movies. This movie renewed my faith in horror. This is set in London and Manchester and the surrounding countryside. Most of England has been turned into zombies by a rage virus and the few uninfected survivors have to stay alive as they try to reach Manchester to get help from the army there. The acting in this movie was superb and the camera work was done to perfection. I could find very few flaws in it and I enjoyed it immensely. It is now one of my favourite films.

Summary: Great zombie movie that "could" be a reality...
Review: Whoa, seems to me I write a lot of reviews on zombie flicks, so here I go again. 28 Days Later seems to be a film that people are simply divided over. You will either loathe it or love it. I wouldn't go so far as to say I "love" this film, but it certainly is a statement of the times. Paranoia seems to fill almost every scene in film, and it is a reflection of the fear many across the world feel in the wake of 9/11. The possibility of something like this happening is frightening and realistic, though for the sake of entertainment there is the "suspension of disbelief" factor that comes into play in most films. The film revolves around a super-virus that seems to have plauged the entrire world, and a group of individuals are left to deal with the aftermath. Desolate, dark and almost devoid of any real humor, 28 Days Later is a psychologically shattering film that will have an impact on you if you think about the reality of it all. The DVD has plenty to offer in the way of extras, and also includes the "ALTERNATE ENDINGS" which are interesting. Overall, one hell of a frightening film.

Summary: zombies must of been smokin that stuff..
Review: 28 days later is about a man who wakes up from acoma and the whole countrey is infected with a virus called rage wich makes you really really angrey.imagine your highest peak of anger times 20, thats pretty pist.and thats why these zombies are bouncin off the walls like they did too much crack. but anyway the movie has its highs and lows.
highs = scenary,sound,suspence,story,extras
lows = ending,long boring scenes,lack of gore,anoying charecters the movie seemes to pay alote a homage to dawn of the dead (homage=rip off)dont really bother me cause that movies a classic. even tho the ending falls short the movie in general is still one worth seeing.its got its creepy parts,suspencfull parts and that whole feeling of isolation to it.
overall you got to rent this movie,if you like it then buy it. ps. the ring sucks

Summary: A completely disappointing movie!!!
Review: I love horror and sci fi pictures and, going by the adds and hype, made the mistake of buying this on DVD before actually seeing it. I strongly recommend you rent this movie before wasting $20.00 on it. This is my opinion and judging from some of these other reviews, I either saw a completely different movie or I am too critical (which I doubt since I usually like crappy movies most others don't).
The only thing I enjoyed about this horribly filmed and acted movie was when the damn thing ended. I cannot tell anyone what to think nor do I imagine my opinion matters. I just strongly advise anyone to borrow or rent it before spending good money on it! In parting here is a thought, I own over 1000+ DVDs that I have bought over the last 5 years.
I feel so strongly about how terrible this movie was that this is the only movie I ever felt I needed to write something about and, the only movie I have EVER gotten rid of immediately after seeing it, HONESTLY!

Summary: Hardly to qaulify as film
Review: My wife hates horrors, I love them, but if she says this is not horror at all, beleve her it is not. I liked the idea of creating fresh apocalyptic event, the virus named "rage" that spreads with the speed of light. The movie should have ended within the first 5 min when you realise that everyone is dead just few people here and there that are not going to last long enough to keep the humanity alive. But the movie drags on further to show you how those survivors act in this apocalyptic event.
In just 28 days the virus infects the whole world -at least that is what director wants you to beleive at the begining of the movie. The end shows it is not the whole world just the island that was quarantineed to stop the spread. So the complete point of the movie was to show how humanity behavies in this horrific event... Not worthed watching at all.
This movie is not horror at all, the only scary thing is the idea of having virus like that infect us. I would say that even a kid can watch this movie despite the bloddy scenes. Infected humans that attack only at night are far from scary zombies seen in other horrors.
In few words this movie lacks all elements of good film but most of all its scenario was poor and draged over full lenght completly not neccesary and almost no action or dynamics, maybe few scenes but they were completely out of synch with revealing the plot (if there is anything to be revealed, it is just too transparent and predicatable from begining) I would give it 2 for the efforts put into it, and for some good ability of the director to make something out of such a lowsy script.
One of the worst movies I've ever watched.

Summary: So crap it¿s unbelievable
Review: 28 days later I still feel the same. This has got to be the most over rated movie of all time. Before watching this turkey every critic and every review was boosting this crap. Saying how original the movie is, how terrifying it is and how great the directing is, boy have they changed since. Where was the originality? Where's the terror? What Directing? There's hardly no action, no blood and theirs nothing in it that could scare a six year old. Don't believe the hype, if you want to watch some thing scary try the Ring, Exorcist, anything but this. I have never been so bored in my like, however, on the good side, if you have trouble sleeping then definitely rent this.

Summary: ALEX¿S CAPSULE MOVIE REVIEWS
Review: Highlights: Terrifying scenes of suspense and building of tension; immaculate cinematography depicting lifeless England; most of the performances, principally lead Cillian Murphy's and the reliable Brendan Gleeson's; alternative ending is KILLER. Lowpoints: Too much zombies, too little subliminal terror at times; Megan Burns as the little girl is a truly terrible performance that fortuitously doesn't bring the film down. Conclusion: An unflinching, metaphorical look at the possible loss of control over rage amongst humans, 28 Days Later marks Danny Boyle's comeback from his flop The Beach. Petrifying with its realism and astounding in its contrastive moods, 28 Days Later definitely has more in common with the director's dark masterpiece Trainspotting - it is scary, droll and compelling, and will linger with its audience, despite its flaws, long after the ending. SEE THIS IF YOU LIKED: Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Rapture, The Devil's Backbone
DON'T SEE THIS IF YOU LIKED: Resident Evil, House on Haunted Hill, Ghostship.

Summary: An Apocalyptic Rundown.
Review: Directed by the director of _Trainspotting_, the movie _28 Days Later_ examines the apocalyptic question in London, England. A plague has just wiped out the city (and apparently most of the world) and the few remaining citizens are infested with the disease - rage, turning them into mindless raging zombies. The protagonist wakes up to this horror in the hospital and he must join up with a band of few remaining survivors to try to survive in the nightmare that remains of the modern world. Together they set out to meet a camp of soldiers who have broadcasted over the radio from Manchester, alleging a cure for "rage" and a new beginning. Along the way they lose some trusted companions, who become infested with rage through the blood. However, once they arrive at the camp they discover things are not to their liking. Apparently, the soldiers possess a fortified unit to keep out the raving populace; however, there is no available cure. In addition, most of the men are mad with lust and decide to keep the new women arrivals while jettisoning the only surviving male. It is after being thrown out of their fortified citadel that the protagonist decides to seek his revenge - managing to slaughter all the soldiers in a fury. _28 Days Later_ is a disturbing thinking- man's type movie which will appeal to those who dare to face the apocalypse head-on. In a world of mass disease, famine, and anthrax scares, a movie about raging zombies is not too far off. Indeed, it becomes apparent after watching this movie that no truer statement of human nature was ever expressed than this "Homo homini lupus (Man is wolf to man)".
