Summary: Unnerving
Review: I'm a horror movie fan, and I'm not generally scared by films. It's scary ideas that get me, not the fake blood and guts stuff you normally get in films. This film is a scary idea. One accident by a bunch of idiots that think they are doing the right thing it affects everyone. This movie is scary because it could happen. No not flesh eating zombie monsters, but things people do behind government lab doors getting loose and running riot. I watched this film late one night and when I came out of the cinema to a deserted car-park in the dark, I was unnerved and thinking about the film all the way home. That to me is the sign of a good movie. I have to buy this DVD.

Summary: A STUNNINGLY ORIGINAL HOMAGE TO ROMERO, SAGAL AND HAMMER.
Review: This beautifully deceptive low budget British horror film combines the finest elements of George Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD (and DAY OF THE DEAD) and Boris Sagal's film version (THE OMEGA MAN) of Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND. Director Danny Boyle has opted for a fusion of sweeping vistas of desolation and post-modern strobing action scenes with forceful, intelligent and restrained acting that works perfectly. An absolute must for fans of the genre and lovers of smart, artistic direction and writing - GO SEE IT AND MAYBE WE WILL GET TO SEE MORE GOOD MOVIES!

Summary: LISTEN UP !!!
Review: HEY FOLKS, THIS IS A VERY MERSMERIZING MOVIE. NEVER MADE IT MYSELF TO THE CINEMA HER IN SUNNY OLD ENGLAND, BUT BOUGHT THE DVD WHICH WAS RELEASED HERE A FEW WEEKS AGO. WOW ! THIS IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS. A VISUAL FEAST OF JOLTS, HOPE AND SALVATION. YOU REALLY FEEL THIS MOVIE. THE SCENES SHOWING OUR CAPITAL, LONDON. ARE HAUNTING TO SAY THE LEAST....

Summary: Not your average zombie-movie
Review: As a European I watched this trip last week on code2 dvd (its out in England already) and I was not dissapointed, though, the preview and some of the critics are leading into the wrong direction. This is NO average zombie movie or Resident Evil Clone. Its about a deadly virus, transmitted by blood, that transforms people instantly into rage driven, mindless monsters and wipes out whole Brittain, or the whole world (who knows). A few survivors are out on the way to a military camp, after listening a mysterious radio transmission only to find out that the infected are not their only enemies.

Sounds average so far, but it will make you jump out of your seats in certain moments. The atmosphere is great and spooky and takes you from the beginning. The hysterical action moments are taking your breath away. This monsters are not slow. What makes them so scary is that rage they are in. This totally abscenze of any other feeling. They move like on a speed trip and get you instantly. You have nothing against that pure hate and violence that shuts down any other instinct. And they are not dead, just sick!

"28 Days later" is above the average horror-movie and it scares the hell out of you. Its a peace of art, stylish music and great camera work. The talented cast gets your sympathie and takes you on an emotional trip. But still the whole thing feels a little bit unreal, just like you are dreaming. Forget the Zombies. Watch the Rage!

Summary: Press screening of "28 Days Later"
Review: Though the DVD isn't available at this writing (the film hasn't even opened in the US; the DVD is already available in the UK where the film opened last year), I was fortunate enough to see a press screening two days ago (May 28th). This film is brilliant on two levels. First, it's a zombie movie par excellence--very scary, very creepy--with a bit of the wonderful flavor of '60s British horror films (and a bit of "The Omega Man" for good measure).

Second, it's about what happens to people in terrible situations, about the loss of innocence, about cynicism and ultimately about the persistence of love.

It will delight/scare horror movie fans, but its appeal, I believe, will be much wider than that.

Really good movie!

Summary: The Scariest Movie since The Ring!
Review: 28 Days later is one of the most intelligent, suspensfull horror movies I have ever seen(and I have seen many). I was not expecting much from this movie, and went in thinking it would be stupid, but boy was I wrong. The movie is a horror movie that in death scenes it makes you feel sad, as if it were real. The score is marvelous, easily one that should win or atleast be nominated for an Oscar. Director Danny Boyle does a superb job of direction, and is so far the best direction I have seen in any film this year, it is a Oscar winning direction . The cinematography is in one word: WOW! Oscar deserving. The Whole cast does an amazing job and the woman and girl deserve Oscars for their performances. This film is an amazing film, that is like nothing you have ever seen before!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No-nonsense B-movie
Review: I saw this movie twice within a space of a week on it's British theatrical release so I guess I'm with the yaysayers.
I disagree that the second half of the movie strays from the concept, it merely approaches it from an ironical point of view.

Americans who may have suffered disappointment over the summer blockbuster releases could do worse than end the season with this tongue in cheek glimpse inside the primate house, and how we may differ.

Summary: GOOD things and BAD things about this movie!
Review: As a long time horror fan, I waited this film with great expectation and enthusiasm. The good things are these: The overall concept and premisse are great. A guy wakes up in hospital just to discover he is the only one left on Earth. The rest of the people is dead or (better!) transformed into zombies due to a deadly virus. Well, from this point of view, Danny Boyle strikes gold. Not only this film is triumph of production (with London's empty streets and some great storytelling moments - as the main character unfolds the traces of chaos and violence that spread while he was sleeping). The film keeps going beautifully as the character finds other survivors along with terrifying zombies (the church scene is great). Their journey through the city is great (it updates most of the scenario created by George A. Romero in his legendary DAWN OF THE DEAD - still unsurpassed!) and all the elements are wisely chosen. All characters are interesting and everything is terrifyingly believable. In all, the good thing about this film is that it promisses a great story and it delivers so. The music is one of the best I have seen in years. The image (shot on digital video - no less) is bold and should be studied with attention.

The bad thing (when the movie starts to sink) is when the story starts to shift towards another story (not part of the original premisse) and usually this is when you begin to realize that the screenwriter did not know how to end the story. The main characters get to the military camp and the story (about loneliness, zombies and survival) shifts to something else (so much it actually distracts you from what the film was really about). The ending is (as one might figure) unbelievable and disappointing as it uses the "weeks later"-like jump to conclusion - not to mention a contrived happy ending (how can it be possible??).

In all, I think this is a terryfic film experience with lots of great moments, interesting characters but with a stupid "last 30 minutes". It could have been a landmark film in contemporary horror. I hope someone learned the lesson.

See it and judge for yourself. Me? I still recomend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth seeing but only if you like a good scare!
Review: This is one of those films that is far better to see in a dark cinema late at night when you are tired and susceptable. You have seen the trailers no doubt so probably have a rough idea of the plot. I shot out of my seat several times, even at points when you know something is about to happen. If you are going to see this in america then beware that you may not get some of the dark humour which really makes this movie so watchable. I do have some misgivings about the end of it. It would have been better to leave the viewer with a few more lingering questions but nothings perfect! When you see it beware the priest in the church ... I must have shot up in the air higher than Kobe Bryant!
