28 Days Later
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.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
28 days later (2002) is an instant CLASSIC in my opinion, it was a huge hit back when it first hit the cinema in 2002 & i saw it on the big screen & it was so exciting & scary as hell!!! British films in general are not usually that good at all especially Horror movies so when 28 came out i was blown away by this terrifying infection zombie film. The look of the film is amazing it's very real & very gritty & has a very creepy atmosphere & the infected people are ridiculously scary lol the make up fx look stunning & no use of c.g.i so it's amazing to look at the infected running through the abandoned London streets!!! There's so much good stuff in this film that makes this a classic Horror movie. 28 days later also has that very old school feel to it that dark & moody gritty low budget approach like those old 70's Horror Thriller films such as SHIVERS (1975) & RABID (1977) two excellent zombie-type David Cronenberg films & 28 has that feel intentional or not? The cast are excellent & give great performances & the empty London looks so scary & menacing, also the music is excellent some times very sad & scary that it captures the loneliness & other times very almost 80's style but always excellent!!! So yes a very surprisingly excellent British zombie film by a director that i would Never usually watch his films at all!!! I Hated the DEPRESSING & GRIM overrated Trainspotting!!! But hey 28 days later is a great film
It's a badly executed film...the only thing that makes it a remotely good zombie film is the speed at which the zombies run. Everything else, such as the "gore" and the wannabe horror is just disappointing.
This is the film that started the craze of fast moving infected un-dead people as opposed to the slow lumbering ones generally portrayed up until this point. A precious and over looked jewel in the crown of zombie movies. After "Night of the Living Dead" and before "The Walking Dead" there was this...and it is marvelous. A modern horror classic with great performances, beautiful cinematography and doesn't skimp on the gore.
If you love zombies & the whole post apocalyptic world thing, then this a movie for you. In this Classic(in my opinion) zombie flick you really get a sense of the terrifying yet very real struggles it might be like if we should ever be faced with an outbreak resulting in a zombie plagued world. It has everything from gory scenes, prodigious zombie battles, struggles of all sorts, & it even fits in some self growth aspects. As for those prodigious zombie battles, you won't be let down by non realistic survival skills that you hate to watch & roll your eyes at. There won't be any of that. It's as pretty close to what it might be like & what an everyday person could accomplish if faced with trying to survive a deadly zombie virus outbreak. I would have to say it's an amazing mix of blood & guts, human struggle & Zombies!
