What can I say about this movie but WOW!!! It is good to see a movie that is far from the Hollywood formula for post-apocalyptic films. Finally we have a movie that is realistic and gritty (and leave it to the British to have the guts to do something along those lines). Might not be for general American audiences who think that flashy Hollywood films are great - this is a film for those who appreciate films like Ringu, Battle Royale, and other foreign films. This is one of those movies which is about more than what it appears to be on the surface - this is a major social commentary - think George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead - this is a movie with something to say. Great film with a great cast. Also beautifully shot - which may sound ackward to those who are expecting a straightout cheap scare, flashy film. This is a movie where people may do some stupid things, but only because in real life we would as well.

And it also gets a powerful message across - we can hurt one another all we want, but in the end the world goes on. We can kill or whatever, but in the end it's not going to stop the sun from rising or the seas from flowing. It's time we take the time to appreciate the little things in life and stop getting caught up in our world of petty differences and material wealth. Too bad very few American films reach this level or enlightenment.

Date: 6/29/2003 7:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 53909    Oh I've been wanting to see this movie. Thanks for the review. I hope to see this movie sometime soon.   
Date: 6/29/2003 7:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 51061    you have very bad taste man. The movie sucked. It was an art film about zombies the two don't mix, oh well atleast you saw it and liked it. I saw it and suffered through it. Hey another question did you like 2001 a space oddesy?  
Date: 6/29/2003 7:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 51061    btw I do agree with the beautiful shot thing you said. But the movie still sucked.  
Date: 6/29/2003 8:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 49354    I really enjoyed this movie. It got strange toward the end but overall it was very good. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.  
Date: 6/30/2003 4:10:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 47618    First of all, and this is something I hated about the advertising in America....this is NOT a zombie film. They advertised this as a zombie film in America yet it truly has NOTHING to do with zombies. Those individuals in the film are basically still alive, just infected. Frankly it's a film that is not meant to be a truly horrifying film - the only horrifying thing in the film is the actions of mankind. Like I mentioned earlier, it's a throw-back to Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, which had a lot of things to say about mankind in times of crisis.  
Date: 6/30/2003 1:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 28989    I saw a review for this on "Hot Ticket" yesterday. Leonard Maltin and the the other reviewer (forgot her name) gave it a very "hot" vote and said they both loved it. I'll probably see it tonight. Thanks for the review. I'm tired of Hollywood schlockbusters (hm, I just wrote that word by accident. Maybe I should be a movie critic.).  
Date: 6/30/2003 2:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 29387    Dont' forget director Danny Boyle either...to go from the brialliant disturbing "Trainspotting" to the even-more profound "28 Days" is a mark that he is one of the best directors living right now.  
Date: 7/6/2003 10:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 31255    I saw this movie... and honestly have very mixed opinion on it... All I can say it was definately disturbing on many different levels. I love the places they shot this film... especially the Abbey where they slept, it just brings back memories But I would recommend other people to see this movie, but to make sure to keep an open mind and maybe not see it an hour before you sleep LOL  
Date: 7/12/2003 8:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 60162    Im dying to see this... its out here in Sept, I hate waiting but I have no choice. I really think with The Ring, Dog Soldiers, Brotherhood Of The Wolf and now this... the foreigners are moving in with some really really good horror. Its great to see!!!  
Date: 7/15/2003 9:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 28989    I finally saw the movie--when I was coming down with food poisoning at the same time, which made some of the scenes even more disturbing to me. I honestly have to say I liked it a lot. Somehow the director managed to show beauty and humanity in the midst of all the horror, which made you care about the characters. Very unique take on an old end-of-the-world theme. I just wished I saw it when I wasn't having a food-poisoning attack!  
Date: 7/16/2003 4:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 58923    When I saw the advertisements on television, the movie looked great, but when I got into the theatre, I was bored out of my mind. The camera was horrible, the plot was barely there.... I can't believe someone actually ENJOYED it. To each their own I guess....  
Date: 7/16/2003 5:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 57830    Day of the Dead?! HA! i watched that movie with one of my brothers and his girlfriend-i thought it was hilarious! First zombie movie i've ever watched...probably the last too!  
Date: 9/3/2003 12:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 35160    i cant wait to see this, i love zombie movies...  
Date: 2/3/2004 12:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 51292    I havent seen this yet..i wanted to watch though..Ive read a few reviews and it seems to always get a mixed reaction..thanks for the review!! 8o) Ill check it out!!  
Date: 2/26/2005 5:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 35160    i finally saw it, man it scared me so bad. i loved it.   
Date: 11/13/2005 9:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 51292    I watched it..haha! Its been awhile but from what i can remember, it was pretty good. I liked it, it was pretty scary at times. A great movie, thanks for the review!
