28 Days Later

Rating: 6/10 (24 June 2013)

In this genre explosion horror film, England is set in the midst of a zombie break out, following a group of activist's try to free specimen monkeys from lab experimentation, the Rage Virus is released. Transferable through saliva and blood, it turns it's victims in ravenous, hungry, feral beast. Now, 28 Days after the virus takes full scale effect, Jim, a bicycle delivery man, thrown into a coma after an accident, has missed the evac party, and is now stuck in the remains of England.
I had been wanting to see this all weekend, and I now regret watching the film oso early in the morning. A film I was so eager to see did little to my expectations.
Personally, I'm more of a Shaun of the Dead guy, but for the film's endurance, I managed to enjoy it. If you have friends in town, or you're at a party, this is a class act choice. But, I'm not a huge party goer, so it brings it down in some ways.
I found it actually dull in scenes it needed power, and powerful when a scene needed to be slow. But, it being an amateur film, I give it a pass. Another thing that didn't drive me too crazy about the film, was that it was all shot in digital, being a bit more a film fan myself, it brought it down in some ways.
But overall, it's a pretty decent film. But, not something I'll be watching again, too soon. If I do come around over it again, I'll at least watch Shaun of the Dead first, or after the film, because of this, I give 28 Days Later:
A 6.5 Ticket Stub out of 10 tickets.
