No, unfortunately I couldnt venture to my local theater. Instead I stayed at home and downloaded a DVD rip. Im such a bitch! I must say that 28 Days Later has so much going for it. Beautifully shot scenes. I love digital video, it gives a movie a grainy and gritty look. I esp. love the raindrops on DV. The shots of London were spectacular. In 28 Days, a group of survivors try to save the human race from infected humans who have the virus called Rage. Blood, action, and some drama ensue. The thing that set itself apart were the odd scenes where Boyle seemed to just get shots of the countryside and play some nice melodic music. It was almost more of an emotional horror flick. This really isnt a zombie flick. For one they arent quite zombie and there really arent many of them. We dont get tons of these creatures at all. The movie mostly focuses around the groups journey. Thats not to say we dont get tons of gore inbetween. The characters really made you feel for them which is always a plus in a horror movie. 28 Days had everything riding for it until the end. The last 2 minutes of this movie are completely awful. One of the worst endings I have ever seen. If they would have chopped the last 3 minutes off of this movie I may have given it a 10 or a 9. Its kinda sad to see a movie get slowed down by its ending. However there are 149 solid minutes and that's what really counts. Yeah a good ending would have iced the cake but its worth the price of admission (or download) |
