The idea works perfectly! The film is extremely tense and the watching experience is nothing short of shocking! Also, George Romero taught us that a zombie movie shouldnвЂ™t look вЂњgoodвЂќ, but should rather feel dirty! The idea is to treat the viewer as a survivor and make him stand next to Jim and his companions, deprive him of the comfort which goes with the role of passive observer and instead have him participate in the action. Those who say that the zombie genre was reborn after the horrible remake of Dawn of the DeadВ made by the incompetent Zack Snyder in 2004 forget the box office success of 28 Days Later two years before ( $85 million earned against a budget of just 8 million)! Danny BoyleВ used intelligently his money and shot this low-budget horror digitally with a number of over exposed shots and a massive use of hand-held camera. Once there, though, things donвЂ™t go exactly as expectedвЂ¦ During the night the infected attack: Mark gets injured and Selena doesnвЂ™t think twice about finishing him with her machete: the virus acts very quickly and soon Mark would have tried to feed on Selena and Jim! The next day, the two meet Frank and his daughter Hannah ( Brendan Gleeson and Megan Burns) and together they decide to leave the city to go to a military base near Manchester that is welcoming survivors, or at least thatвЂ™s what a radio message says. Jim, shocked, asks to go to his parentsвЂ™ home and sadly discovers that the two committed suicide at the beginning of the outbreak. The infected are now beings who feed on living flesh and that should be avoided at all costs. The two explain to him the situation: a deadly virus spread very quickly through the country infecting most of the population. After a while some strange noises alarm Jim, whoвЂ™s very weak due to the many days spent in bed, and just when some bloodthirsty creatures are about to catch him, heвЂ™s saved by Selena and Mark ( Naomie Harris and Noah Huntley) who wear some sort of improvised riot gear. He goes out and begins to wander in a deserted London where he finds evidence of a disaster which happened about a month earlier, some kind of infection of immense proportions. Jim (the great Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma in a deserted hospital that apparently was abandoned in a hurry. A lot! Even more than the zombies in The Return of the Living Dead by Dan OвЂ™Bannon! Danny BoyleвЂ™s infected even look like zombies as they feed on human flesh and are covered in blood from head to toe. ItвЂ™s a bit like John CarpenterвЂ™s Assault on Precinct 13 ( 1976): there are no zombies, but the gang members act like a horde of undead against those barricaded in the precinct. But in my opinion his best movies include Trainspotting, the underrated Sunshine ( 2007), and the film reviewed here: 28 Days Later ( 2002).Дў8 Days Later is one of the best zombie movies ever made, even if technically it doesnвЂ™t feature zombies, but infected. Despite being somewhat discontinuous, he has directed some truly remarkable films such as Trainspotting which made him famous in 1996, and has already won an Oscar with Slumdog Millionaire ( 2008), which in total received eight Academy awards. IвЂ™ve always enjoyed the work of British director Danny Boyle.
