28 Days Later (R, 2003)

For once, a zombie movie with scary zombies! Really well directed, with good actors and sets. A winner.

I loved the movie, but the guy who was naked is REaLLY ugly. its a great movie tho

This movie, although graphic, is a very good rendition of what zombie movies should be like. The overtones of helping others through whatever happens can come as a good change in the newer horror movies that put sex at the forefront. Now although this movie is a good one, and the action scenes can get everyone on the edge of their seat there are a three main parts that require a mature personality especially at the younger ages. The first and most obvious is the full male nudity near the beginning of the film. It is a short scene that really sets a symbolic tone, but for the sensitive beware. Second is the first third of the movie is really dark. Zombies are everywhere, running away through sewers, having to put a bullet in some guys head to stop him from becoming a zombie. It can be a bit much for a squeamish viewer to handle. Finally the last part of the movie revolves around the plans to rape the two female protagonists. Note, this is not actually done and it is not said directly "I am going to rape them", but for an older viewer it is more apparent. This is of course balanced out by the surviving male protagonist rescuing them emphasizing the main message of the film. Overall a great movie, but make sure the younger viewers are more able to cope with the violence.

an interesting movie. It's one of the first fast zombie movies. Too bad it's not scary.

i thought it was good and nothing bad to my perspective. I love zombie movies and this was one of my first ones and it wasnt scary at all

I love this movie it is one of the best scary movies ever made.Very violent, a bit of language, non sexual full frontal nudity but other than that it really depends on the kid watching it if they can handle it.

28 Days later isnt your regular zombie movie. The"zombies" are fast and viscious and more frightening than the regular zombies of old movies. The film also features many fleshed out,sympathetic characters and features strong performances. I wouldnt recomend it for children or young teens due to a full frontal male nude,language and a couple of moments of graphic violence.

28 Days Later is a post-apocalyptic thriller that follows Jim (Cillian Murphy), one of the few survivors left after a mysterious pandemic breaks out in modern-day England, as he travels through the barren and infected city searching for allies. Though many people comment on the film's fright-meter, this movie can be frightening to some, but that's not the largest effect it has on you. The language is at a lofty high and never comes down, but just begins to climb higher as the thrills increase. Even when there isn't a chase scene or peril, the characters are still swearing, which will be a great concern for paretns. Also, the nudity isn't gratuitous or unnecessary, but it is there to create a natural atmosphere. For example, there is a full-frontal shot of male nudity in the beginning of the movie when Jim wakes up in an empty hospital... naked. And he is shown again in the shower naked later, yet only his buttocks are visible. The sexual undertones and elements of rape are VERY disturbing, but they serve the plot well. The violence is very bloody and gory, but no overdone. The most famous and powerful scene in the movie is when Jim shoves a soldier's eyeballs back into his skull with his thumbs while he is screaming and covered in blood. You hear a crack, and the mean falls silent. This is an act between good and evil and good ultimately wins. Also, the appearance and violent acts of the infected (NOT ZOMBIES!) are quite hard to look at. Some may find the humanistic and seemingly anti-God social commentary that creeps itself into the later part of the film offensive, but it's not a reason to shove the film away. This is a beautifully shot, scripted, and acted low-budget horror triumph! A classic for the masses. 4 STARS.

This film is less scary than it's sequal 28 weeks later, so if you get scared by this I wouldnt watch the next one! I thought this was a very good film and its what got me into scary movies, I love it! :)
