Why it’s HorroRated
28 Days Later earns its place as a modern horror classic by making the apocalypse feel intimate and personal. Danny Boyle's empty London sequences make the familiar feel alien and the film's argument about what survival does to people is as interesting as its horror. A film that changed what zombie movies could be.
Synopsis
Jim regains consciousness to find the hospital abandoned, the city silent, and most of the population transformed into something that runs and attacks. Danny Boyle's empty London sequences make the familiar feel alien, and the film's argument about what violence does to the survivors is as interesting as any of its horror. It changed what zombie cinema could be.
