Grade: A+
“28 Days Later” puts a haunting twist on cliché zombie horror films. Stepping away from the average “walking dead” scenario, this film introduces an unstoppable pathogen —the rage virus. Jim, the protagonist played by Cillian Murphy, is thrown into a crumbling civilization overrun by the “infected.” This thriller uses sophistication and suspense to inject terror into the viewer’s psyche by biting into basic human fears. Unlike most scary movies, viewers never see what is lurking around the corner as the unanticipated story line unfolds. With no answers and no cure, “28 Days Later” takes the characters on a wild journey through a hell-on-earth setting.
