James is correct in the films budget. 28 days later was intentionally filmed with a low budget for no real particular reason except to be a creative choice by Danny Boyle. He deliberately went so low budget that he even filmed it with a $500 camera. Boyle himself has made an entire career making daring, experimental and heavily stylized movies. This movie not just brought the Zombie genre back to mainstream audiences, but also reinvented the "Zombie-Horror" genre and paved ground for a following decade of Zombie/Infected/Apocalyptic movies including Resident Evil, I am Legend, WWZ, etc.

Apparently, they didn't even have to shut down central London to film the opening scene. They simply filmed it at 4AM on Sunday morning, and turned the gamma up to make it look like during the day! It's a revolutionary "zombie" movie - because these zombies can actually run after you with super-human strength. That's because they are filled with "rage" which is an extreme level of adrenaline. Technically, they're not "zombies" in the traditional sense. They are not "undead" and have no craving for "brains". They are basically just EXTREMELY angry people who have lost all control of themselves - and been given the superpowers that adrenaline gives you! Danny Boyle also made one of my favourite movies, "Trainspotting" - a disgusting (and extremely entertaining) exploration of drug abuse in Edinburgh, Scotland - it was Ewan McGregor's star-making role. Its soundtrack is legendary, one for the history books!

James was correct when he was wondering if there would have been time to spread across the world. The infection happens so fast that there's no method of transport that would be able to leave the UK fast enough to reach another country before everyone who was infected had either been killed or had infected everyone on that transport so it would have been easy to quarantine the UK just by destroying the Channel Tunnel. The speed of infection is one of the problems with the World War Z movie. That also has people turning into zombie really fast but it's spread worldwide. They don't address that in the movie although in the book people don't turn so quickly and it's suggested that people worldwide were infected via organ transplants using organs that had been harvested in China from their prison population and sold on the black market.

I love this movie because it is so different. The low budget makes the film makers creative. I feel like a lot of cool set pices (empty London, gas station blow up, Jims home, the tower where they met the fater and his daughter, the tunnel and the base). Nothing original but very well used. The camera is close to the people and the action. It is gritty and dirty. I love the father daughter relationship. What really stuck with me, is the music. I listen to the soundtrack at least once a year.

It's probably filmed at like 5am on a sunday summer morning, not usually much busier than that in the city. Back then anyway.

Danny Boyle great director, The dad is Brendan Gleason who has been in a ton of classic movies, Troy , Braveheart, Gangs of New York , Kingdom of Heaven, Mission Impossible 2, The Village, the younger generation only seems to know him from Harry Potter. Watch these movies and you’ll appreciate his body of work.

If You are doing zombie movies You should check this classics: -Night of the living Dead (1968/ or the 90's remake) -Return of the living Dead -Brain Dead (Dead Alive) Not zombie, but you have to watch Evil Dead (1981). It's a must.

This to me is the overall best zombie style movie. The “zombies” are infected with rage, something akin to rabies or something. They don’t necessarily attack to kill. If you pay attention they infect and move on. The infection happens quick. Other zombie movies typically have you turn slowly. Danny Boyle is a fantastic director. This movie completely revitalized the zombie genre when it released backed in 2003. If you’ve seen The Walking Dead the opening directly mirrors this with Rick Grimes waking up in an abandoned hospital.

It is hard to overstate how important this movie was to the genre when it came out. Before in films it was all slow, living-dead zombies. And they were usually either cheap, dumb horror or B-Movie schlock. 28 Days however was very different in tone and how it treated zombies. This brought the infected fast zombie to the film masses. Now every movie and show seems to have some form or combination of those two things: infection via virus and speed. Yes, some of it had been done before in video games and comics but not like this in theatres. Also, 28 Days also took a subgenre of horror that had been totally irrelevant for a long time. Since then there have been a billion zombie films, and now seeing something like Train to Busan is very commonplace and when watching it everyone knows the tropes and that all started with 28 Days. Also, Cillian Murphy is awesome; his best film is The Wind that Shakes the Barley, go see it

I remember seeing this in the theater and gripping the arm rest on the chair I was sitting in during the soldier house scene. I love this movie. I haven’t checked yet, but if you haven’t seen 28 weeks later that one is really good as well. I’m a little skeptical when it comes to sequels, but they did a great job on that one.

This is kinda of stupid but my favorite scene is after they leave from sleeping outside and the father said door and Jim opened and shut the car door. It just reminds me of normality and all the times I did the same thing. I don't know it just gives off a warm vibe to the cold, unfamiliar world.

Yes: Humanity are "the infected", and that's what makes this movie so unsettling. Once our protagonists reach their supposed safe spot the horror unfolds. Also, Chistopher Ecclestone is such a phenomenal actor. "We promised them women" in that tone, with that expression is so chilling.

I love this movie! It's so great, and I love the main characters. I also really like that the movie does not shy away from the fact that, in a situation like this, what you have to be most wary/fearful of are people, not the zombies. It's people who are going to be looking for any way to use you or hurt you or manipulate you or whatever. The zombies just want to eat, so you know where you stand with them.

This was the first move recorded entirely on digital cameras. Prior to this movie, and even after for years, movies were filmed on film. Mid-2000s is about when everyone started going digital. You still have film die-hards even today, like Chris Nolan. The earliness of the digital video cameras show in 28 Days Later though. It was a tad premature because the tech wasn't there yet to truly compete w/ film, and it gives the movie that indie digital camera feel.

I sometimes wondered if Jim was actually ex-special forces, with how he suddenly switched over to a stealthy killer. Maybe he was a courier, but his mannerisms at the end were so different, it was like a memory was turned on.

this is just such a fantastic movie!! Danny Boyle killed it and the cast is small but fantastic! I love the story of humanity and like most 'zombie' movies they idea that the humans left are the true villains! the Infected are probably the scariest version of "zombies" we've had though not technically zombies, you know what I mean haha! I would definitely check out 28 weeks later, although very different in tone, it's still got some great scares and is a lot of fun

The reason why I like these movies a lot is that the Zombies Run so they are actually a real threat The only thing I don't really like about the movie is with the Army soldiers already acting the way they are and it's only been 28 days It's only been four weeks

But also 4 weeks will still feel like a long time if you’re at that point where you’re quite isolated and there’s little to no contact with normal humans. Plus I got a friend in the military right now and I’ve heard that promiscuity and harassment is common. She’s a woman and she’s told me that she has to be careful walking into a room alone with a man or where she’s the only girl present. So I don’t think the Army guys behavior is that weird.

Hahaha, I always come back to: "Come on, mate! How OLD were those eggs?! You do know that they keep, like, forever if stored upside down and in a cool place, right?". About the army guys, though: I think of it as man's tendency to make up the reasons they need to do what they want in combination with a highly stressful situation. A lot of people started behaving like we were at the end of days three months into the pandemic, behaving like egotistical asshats, even though we weren't hunted by zombie like creatures and all they had to do was simply to shut up, not leave their homes and watch Netflix. And a lot of people turned nasty; granted, they didn't try to rape each other, bc Tinder, but people turned on each other and were terribly mean, just because we all managed life during the pandemic differently. (The Tinder thing was a joke, Internet. Rape is a DECISION, not an "uncontrollable urge", don't @ me.)

Yeah 4 weeks when he was waiting for it to starve, but then the one guy saying the world is going on without them. So maybe they lost their minds, I don't get it either. You'd lie and say women, but to kill all those other people who made it there is just crazy. And still for the restart you'd wait a year or two and blue ball it. Gotta have a place secured for at least a year and self sustainable and their places looked ok but not good enough. So if you need to move you'd never want a pregnant woman. How the extremely horny one was way outta control and the boss running it was nuts too with no control. Everyone else was just following them. Musta been friends or something because keeping him from suicide when he shoulda shot him himself. They seemed to have stayed put and never left that place. So maybe they had enough but not for those who came? Supermarkets full of food and they never scrounged to help anyone that made the trip just shot them? Maybe they weren't even real soldiers but I just can't wrap my mind around them.
