A Monster of a FilmReview created: 04/02/08
by:
A brilliant BRITISH film. Spellboundingly tantalising terror in true zombie genre. Keeping you on your seats till the final credits. (With added alternative ending for that happy or not so happy finale)

Another milestone for British Cinema C/O Danny BoyleReview created: 01/08/07
by:
Good old Danny Boyle! While social realism certainly has its place in cinema we Brits have a habit of producing films with a tad too much modesty about them. Would it really hurt to incorporate some of the boisterous energy of our American counterparts into the gritty fabric of our cinematic output? Mr Boyle doesn't seem to think so, and as anyone who has seen 28 Days later will attest it combines the kineticism and energy of a Hollywood blockbuster while still retaining a very British sensibility.
While ostensibly a horror film and a zombie flick 28 Days Later has more in its agenda than pointless scares and superficial action. Beneath the pulse pounding adrenaline fueled action and fright fest there are some salient observations about human nature and the dichotomy between human beings as civilised society and human beings as mammals struggling for survival. As with Boyle's earlier masterpieces like Shallow Grave and Trainspotting the message is secondary to good storytelling and 28 Days Later succeeds as a great horror film rather than a heavy handed social commentary.
The endlessly likeable Cillian Murphy and the gorgeous Naomie Harris are on form here and their interaction with the other characters and each other provides one of the film's most appealing qualities.
This version of the DVD has all the goodies on the single disc version with a second disc providing an incredibly brief taste of the sequel 28 Weeks Later, trailers and a fun but pointless semi animated translation of the graphic novel 28 Days Later: The Aftermath (which is also included in the set), all wrapped up in a pretty little slip case.
If you already own the single disc version I certainly wouldn't suggest the extra material justifies a double dip. If, however you have yet to purchase the film (as I have) then this edition really is the ultimate way to invite "the rage" into your home.
Enjoy!

A British movie to be proud ofThe script of this one fascinated me before I made my decision to see it. I knew it had potential. When I first saw this movie on the Big Screen I wondered how the hell the realistic scenes in London were shot, I couldn’t believe how they did it. I first saw this movie in my local cinema and could not understand how natural looking yet eerie the scenes were.
I thought they had employed some kind of special filters on the lenses or something yet there was also no evidence of CGI (you can always tell in that American high budget films cant you). The realism of this movie is superb. It turns out to be low budget and shot totally for real to the extent of spending ¼ million on blowing up a real petrol station for the movie! The unthinkable situation of a fatal virus virtually killing off mankind is well portrayed, so much so, that you just end up speechless, and gripped to the screen.
Dynamic fast cut motion photography, and musical theme backgrounds, enhance the eerie, frightening, unthinkable scenario depicted within this story. A British movie to be proud of and, in fact shot totally on Camcorders! Yes DV tape!!Even the philosophical aspects are well created by backlogs of cleaver snips that really make you think the unthinkable. It’s all about Survival, of course, Kill or be killed.
Pure Escapism of a very different kind, where luxury can never be taken for granted. You got to see it to appreciate your worst nightmare. Who knows? What we have in store, Eh? This special edition disc is a must have.
