- A zombie movie with a little twist Ð these ones are athletic Ð and a certain tension; nothing original otherwise, but very watchable.

  Most disaster/zombie/apocalyptic films are set in Somewhereville in the US, which is OK, they are still good films, but what really brings this film home is it ... read more »

  One word review
  
  I like to keep things short and only write a one word review. And the one word for 28 days later is: gripping.

  28 Days Later, is a low-budget horror film in which the filmmakers obviously pay tribute to the many zombie films before it, the story is pretty generic, so are... read more »

  Let Down!
  
  Who made this film? Seriously, what's the point of HD content and HDTVs if films are made to look like VHS quality. What a let down!

  Plans are pointless. Staying alive is as good as it gets.
  
  The setting of the film is London, almost entirely free of human life due to a rapidly spread virus. The infected, the 'monsters' of the film, are ... read more »
