28 Days Later
Directed by Danny Boyle
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs -- and it's absolutely impossible to contain. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching 28 Days Later for the first time and it's incredibly gripping for a film seemingly shot on a wax cylinder
positive · AI labelView post →would be really cool if new film 28 DAYS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE had a winking emoji at the end as official part of the title
neutral · AI labelView post →my mom told me she wanted to watch 28 Days Later because it is "the first film in the 28 days later saga"
neutral · AI labelView post →Might watch 28 Days Later again, a lighthearted feelgood film brimming with optimism at the thought of simply locking Britain out of the rest of the world until everyone has eaten each other
positive · AI labelView post →New 4K release of 28 Days Later Average person: Cool. I like that movie Physical media enthusiast: This upscaling was bound to look like shit because of the source materials, but knowing they’ve edited out 1 second of footage is going to be my 13th reason
neutral · AI labelView post →hell yeah Sony announced a 4k rerelease of 28 Days Later, a movie famously shot on an XL1, a 480p camcorder, this is gonna look truly awful, very excited for it

neutral · AI labelView post →Happy to see the 28 Days Later franchise get the love it deserves. The trailer for 28 Years Later is one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen. It’s actually making people watch the first film. This is wonderful. 🤗
positive · AI labelView post →The next 28 Days Later movie should take place 28 million years later and be 2 hours of peaceful quiet forest scenes as the camera slowly and calmly advances down what is obviously the Thames but with zero evidence of humanity surrounding it
neutral · AI labelView post →"Danny Boyle revealed that 28 Years Later Part 3 (title TBA) which serves as the sequel to both The Bone Temple and the film that started it all, 28 Days Later, is due to enter production early next year." Thanks the maker 🤩 Both 28 Years Later movies are among my fav genre movies of the past year.

neutral · AI labelView post →28 Days Later made me feel a little bit better about an Alex Garland Elden Ring movie, mostly because it felt like he was using the movie to do location scouting for cool ass ruins in Northumbria
positive · AI labelView post →It's still pretty impressive to me that the first 28 Days Later movie with a non-British director is the one about how Thatcherism is a Satanic death cult
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching 28 Days Later for the first time in like 15 years. The big trick this movie pulls at the start and got it all the media attention (getting shots of major tourist sites absolutely deserted) wouldn't work at all now cuz everyone would just assume cgi
positive · AI labelView post →28 Days Later is acclaimed as one of the best horror movies of all time, but it can’t be rented, it’s not available on streaming, and the DVD and Blu-ray versions are out of print www.rollingstone.com/product-reco...
neutral · AI labelView post →I tell you what - 28 Days Later is probably the better overall film, but i VIVIDLY remember watching that opening scene of 28 Weeks Later in the cinema I still have scars from clenching my fists with anxiety!! I'm excited for 28 Years Later :)
positive · AI labelView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday 📽️! My #LastFourWatched includes something older I finally caught up on, something new from Blumhouse, and a couple docs from Hot Docs Film Festival.

neutral · AI labelView post →Danny Boyle's Sunshine was released 17 years ago today. KANEDA, WHAT DO YOU SEE?! After 28 Days Later, this was the second and last film written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, Civil War) for Boyle... until the upcoming 28 Years Later.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bone Temple is fantastic. Easily the best Horror movie I've seen this year, and the best 28 Days Later movie since the original. It's got genuinely fresh things to say both about survivors and the undead. You do have to watch 28 Years Later first, but that movie is also shockingly good.

neutral · AI labelView post →1. Contagion because there's so much "what not to do's" to learn from. We are always told not to be Kate Winslet. 2. It's a disaster. 3. World War Z (more the book though) 4. The Last of Us (sorry not a film!) 5. 28 Days Later It's a list with books and TV shows. What can we say. We are rebels.

That movie was great!” And rented 28 Days Later with zero further research.
neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched 28 Days Later last night and maaaaaaaan the scene of Jim wandering around a deserted London is an all-timer of a scene. Great movie. Perfect sequence.

neutral · AI labelView post →Like the 2003 (US release) film 28 Days Later had no love for the troops, kudos to the 2003 film In the Cut for not ass kissing the NYPD either. "You know how a lot times a serial killer turns out to be a cop or a former cop? Yeah about that..."
neutral · AI labelView post →My mount Rushmore of Zombie movies. Zombi 2, Night of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later. Each film is so vastly different and important to the zombie genre as a whole. Honourable mention to Braindead, Dawn of the Dead and House By the Cemetery.
neutral · AI labelView post →28 DAYS LATER is the closest any western movie has tapped into the same degraded analog evil of Kiyoshi Kurosawa
positive · AI labelView post →Thinking about the most pointless movie arguments I ever had, and "Is 28 Days Later a zombie movie?" might rank at the top.

neutral · AI labelView post →What horror movie image haunts you? Honestly, there is a LOT to choose from memory, but if I had to pick one, it would be 28 Days Later. That movie genuinely was the definitive post apocalyptic film of 2002.
positive · AI labelView post →I’m glad that after watching 28 Years Later and revisiting the original 28 Days Later because of it, we’ve all come to our senses on Danny Boyle. Film Twitter has given the man his flowers. Now it’s time for the next step: Sunshine reappraisal. Come on…you know I’m right.
neutral · AI labelView post →The existence of sequels to 28 Days Later ruins the hopeful, life-affirming ending of the original film which helped it stand out from the downbeat dystopic cliches of the zombie genre.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching 28 DAYS LATER for the first time in too long and I don't know what to tell y'all, it's just one of the best films ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching 28 DAYS LATER. I know Boyle’s pretty out of fashion these days, but it cannot be understated how rad and even daring it was to shoot a gnarly zombie movie like a Dogme 95 film.
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching: HELLO! #MovieSky #HorrorSky #28DaysLater
neutral · AI labelView post →Also got to revisit 28 Days Later with my friends last night. Man, not a film that works entirely, but god it still hits for me. That opening London scene is still one of the scariest moments in film. For a movie shot on a cheap dv cam the cinematography is genuinely beautiful and so effective.

neutral · AI labelView post →just revisited an old, obscure movie that could be viewed as a prequel to 28 Days Later, if you wanted to.
neutral · AI labelView post →A zombie film with a visual and tonal vocabulary that has almost nothing to do with any other zombie film. That hasn't been done since, well, 28 Days Later
positive · AI labelView post →popped in the new 28 Days Later 4K disc, and real ones can rest assured: the movie still looks unbelievably shitty*, maybe shittier** than ever *incredible **incredibler
neutral · AI labelView post →☢️#17. 28 Days Later, 2002. Irritating #Romero purists in perpetuity, cardio is affixed to the #zombie film lexicon. Offsetting the simple premise, an effective sense of #postapocalyptic isolation and well drawn characters results in a compelling and intelligent ride. 4.5/5 ☢️
positive · AI labelView post →28 Days Later: about halfway through I remembered the "sex slaves" part and frantically thought of an excuse to stop the movie
