Best horror film of 2007

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2008)

The first 12 minutes gave me the feeling that this movie was going to be another low-brow horror/zombie movie, but then a very different story started and it was great. The plot, action, suspense and thrills worked really well. Don't let the word "horror" give you the wrong idea though; this is simply a great movie that also happens to be a horror movie.
Basically, the story starts 28 weeks after the contagious "rage virus" has run its course in Britain. All the infected people have apparently died off and an American led NATO force is now dealing with survivors. At the same time that an amazing discovery is made, a disastrous sequence of events changes the situation for the worst ... and the story progresses from there.
The things that impressed me the most were the interesting storyline and suspense. As the movie went on, I become increasingly engaged in the movie and found it hard to stop watching.
While the actors were reasonably good, it took some time to get interested in their characters. A big reason for this is that you don't really get a lot of time with the lead characters in the beginning. As time goes on, they start to grow on you.
This is not a movie for kids, nor is it a movie for those who don't like horror movies. However, for everyone else, it's definitely worth watching.
