28 Days Later

Pros: Interesting cameras, good story, great acting, nasty zombies...
Cons: A bit trite, not enough characterization...

Always up for a screwed up movie about the end of the world and vicious puking zombies, I went into ...

Pros: Reliance on story rather than FX
Cons: nada

It's hard to find a good horror flick these days. I think part of the problem lies in the film maker's concentration on special effects. Not so with Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later. This is pure story with little special effects. This is a ...

Pros: Interesting storyline.
Cons: We don't know the characters, unsatisfying conclusion.

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you were the only human left on the planet, alone in a desolated world where the great crush of humanity could no longer overwhelm you, where you no longer had anyone to love or cherish? Indeed, this is ...

Pros: Fresh twist on the tired old zombie themes.
Cons: Still not so keen on the running zombies. I prefer my undead to shuffle.

So here's the question: do the Infected from 28 days Later (and the sequel) count as Zombies? Zombies, either by the Haitian voodoo White Zombie definition or the George Romero shuffling army of FLESH EATING GHOULS sense of the word, are ...

Pros: Atmospheric, deeply creepy; the bad guys are really cool-looking.
Cons: Plot doesn't go anywhere new; the ending is a bit inconsistent in tone.

“You’re gonna watch this by yourself?” asked a friend, holding up my copy of "28 Days Later” with a frown. “Oh, man, it’s so scary. I’ve seen it a couple of times now, and I’m still afraid to watch it when I’m home ...

Pros: .....
Cons: ......

Avoided this like the plague cause I truthfully couldn’t sit through another Bullock ‘gee, ain’t I the cute and perky girl next door’ love fest. Over Christmas I was literally at deaths door with the flu, (someday I’ll tell you about ...

Pros: Great story, acting, directing
Cons: A bit predictable

So, we’re sitting at home, ready to wind down for the night and the boy holds up two rented movies and asks which I’d rather watch - Saw or 28 Days Later. I tell him that I’m not in the mood for something as intense as Saw. I ...

Pros: Interesting concept, great acting
Cons: The tire change, lots of "F" wordage

I wanted to see 28 Days Later in the theater, but I didn't really know what it was about. Something about the previews just drew me in, but I never got to see it on the big screen. A few weeks ago, I saw a special at a rental store, buy two get ...

Pros: Storyline is very good, Gleeson, Murphy, low budget and foreign
Cons: The endings are weak, camera work may prove difficult for viewers

The bought 28 Days Later in March from Blockbuster on a deal that offered “Buy Two Movies, Get One Free”. I made the choice of getting this with Freddy Vs. Jason and Anger Management. Anyway, I got this sucker really cheap ...

Pros: not too shabby
Cons: not too great

Movie genres, like trends, come and go in waves. Sure, some things never seem to go away, like big dumb action flicks, but there are times when a certain genre seems to get all the attention. In the '90s, for instance, it was disaster movies - Deep I ...

Pros: Most of the performances. Lighting, atmosphere, sound. Artistic, clever, and socially important.
Cons: Ending is like a run-on sentence.

28 Days Later shouldn’t have been billed as a horror movie because it has led to many misinterpretations of this masterpiece from Danny Boyle. If you take a date into a theatre to watch this film in hopes she’ll be clinging to you in ...

Pros: high tension, high energy, solid science
Cons: There aren't more like it.

I don’t tend to like bloody horror movies. I go for movies that, in the words of a friend, "work my nerves." Movies like Paperhouse. Too much blood is just a distraction to me. Which is why I ...

Pros: Suitably creepy first half; great atmosphere; excellent Brendan Gleeson performance.
Cons: Second half is a major letdown.

I don’t consider myself a true horror buff; I haven’t seen a Dario Argento movie, much less a Lucio Fulci; I don’t read Fangoria… hell, I’ve never even seen a Nightmare on Elm Street movie. I do, however, have a marked interest for the bizarre, the ...

Pros: Makes you stop and think. Believable characters. Good story line.
Cons: Some may find offensive as contains swearing, gore, nudity and violence.

My daughter and I love horror flicks. I have no idea why but we just do. When I read a couple reviews on 28 Days Later I decided it was one we really needed to see. Now I am glad I did. 28 Days Later is a movie set in the UK that was directed by Danny ...

Pros: Acting, direction, script, cinematography. Brilliant contextual message.
Cons: Trite final act

With the end of his directing career apparently nigh, British director Danny Boyle did something seemingly inconceivable in modern film-making. After his epic DiCaprio bust The Beach , Boyle must have ever wondered if he would reach the critical ...
