28 days

[jhuddy]

why are they calling 28 days later a zombie when in fact its not?
its just people infected
sounds pretty stupid to me
but then again horror aint **** today

[emmortalthug]

yea , the virus just infects the people NOT KILLS them and makes them ZOMBIES, it just makes them go Psycho, and stuff, i might see 28 Days later, i havent watched a creepy movie in long time except for ghost Ship which was pretty good, the death scenes were cool

[killercowboy]

ghost ship was awesome. i liked it when they all got cut in half

[slayerfan1975]

The preview looked promising and it's from a cool director but I have heard mixed reviews for the movie. I may just wait for DVD release.

[killercowboy]

28 days later... i think ill pass on that one. wouldnt want to waste my money. plus ill watch it when it comes on HBO and if its good then ill eat my words that this movie will suck incredibly

[spades]

so im not crazy for getting a resident evil vibe?

[Doofy Gilmore]

"28 Days"= A poor mans "Resident Evil" ripoff.

[Kris Hodgson]

Danny Boyle is a brilliant film maker, and I'm sure he can capture the creepy, hopeless feeling that the lead in this film has to endure. I'm looking forward to it.

[spiderman_2k]

28 days later is just as good, maybe even better than resi evil, the atmosphere is so tense in the film

[killercowboy]

poo

[spiderman_2k]

What a waste of a post u just made :rolleyes:

I agree :o

[jhuddy]

ghost ship sucked really bad
so did res evil:evil:

[smokiechimp]

28 Days Later granted is not the most imaginative horror movie but it's a basis for the production of more British movies which may interest an American market. Although my opinion on the film is not great I still thought it has opened a few doors for british film.

I was dissapointed by the ending of the film with All the soldiers and everything I think they could have maybe made that better but the main twist at the end I thought was great because you are so emersed in what's going on you don't think about the rest of the world

yeah I saw that

[Snaga]

Sorry I didn't mean that the part I said earlier was the ending. It wasn't. I was just saying that was a weird part in the movie. but next time I'll put spoiler warnings

[pattypimpdaddy2]

Yes people are infected, but they titled the movie 28 days later because the main character (Jim) wakes up 28 days later after everyone dies and becomes zombies by a virus which was used for a money experiment called (rage)... So if your going to a dis on a movie watch it before you write something about it...:applaud:

[pattypimpdaddy2]

There was some misunderstanding about 28 days later our buddy Jhuddy asks why do they call it 28 days later a zombie movie when they are not. they are just infected well... if you look up in a dictionary a definition of zombie is a person markedly strange in appearance or behavior. And the virus (rage) causes people to become thoughtless and the only thing they care about is eating people hence ZOMBIES..... I hope you see the movie because its really good... By the way How old are you?:alien:

[spiderman_2k]

They dont eat people just rip them apart...
Yes i was going to reply that u took JHuddy's post in the wrong context, but u have corrected it...

[pattypimpdaddy2]

I loved 28 days later Danny Boyle (trainspotting, the beach) did a really good job and i hope to see more horror movies from him.. Comingsoon.net gave the movie the rating it deserves an 8, but for my book its a 10 cuz horror movies now days are not good compared to 30's-80's.

[spiderman_2k]

I Just looked up Zombie in the dictionary and this is what it says

Zombie or Zombi n 1. a corpse brought to life again by magic. 2.(Coll Derog) a slow-moving, stupid, unresponsive or apathetic person. [Kongo W African language) Zumbi, fetish]

That is the Definition of Zombie

[spiderman_2k]

The "Infectants" are neither of the above therefore are not Zombies....
They are stupid but not as stupid as Zombies in like Dawn of The Dead and they dont move slow...

[pattypimpdaddy2]

Theres more then one...
Main Entry: zom·bie
Variant(s): also zom.bi /'zäm-bE/
Function: noun
Etymology: Louisiana Creole or Haitian Creole zõbi, of Bantu origin; akin to Kimbundu nzúmbe ghost
Date: circa 1871
1 : usually zombi a : the supernatural power that according to voodoo belief may enter into and reanimate a dead body b : a will-less and speechless human in the West Indies capable only of automatic movement who is held to have died and been supernaturally reanimated
2 a : a person held to resemble the so-called walking dead; especially : AUTOMATON b : a person markedly strange in appearance or behavior
3 : a mixed drink made of several kinds of rum, liqueur, and fruit juice
- zom·bie·like /-bE-"lIk/ adjective

[spiderman_2k]

OOhhh a zombie drink....
Anyway, that saying a mentally ill person could be considered a "Zombie" then because they act strange in behaviour???
Also they dont resemble Dead people, there skin is not falling off or discoloured.

[pattypimpdaddy2]

Now that you bring that up about the Zombies not being slow, I was thinking about that last night and i was wondering if Boyle was using the fact that they can run to make it more realistic and more intense... And as far as the whole zombie issue it says zombie in the comingsoon database, and on the movie posters, and i read an article with danny boyle about it being a zombie movie to settle that dispute..

[pattypimpdaddy2]

Nice icon

[spiderman_2k]

Yes it was to give it more of a terryfying feel, and he would class it as a Zombie film as "The Infected" is not a type of movie, the Infected are closer to the Zombie genre than any other Genre around.

[pattypimpdaddy2]

Yes i see where you coming from, but i don't think he would classify it has a "infected" film.. To say that is like saying that in night of the living dead the whole radiation infection brought back the dead because it was mentioned in the movie so there are only infected. And the only way it spreaded through out was one zombie bit another and its like a chain that continues to spread... But I don't know maybe you should ask him.

[spiderman_2k]

Thats my point though, Zombies in Night Of The Living Dead are......Dead, they look dead and act dead. The Radiation was just a passing story to put a meaning to why the Dead became living, The Infection in 28 days later is a main story focus point.

[pattypimpdaddy2]

I'm not going to argue with the director and say its not a zombie film when he says it is.. If they were not zombies and only infected they would be able to say hey ripping off peoples heads are wrong. And for all my scars i should seek treatment maybe a facial, but they can't cuz they can not think for themselves.

[spiderman_2k]

Mentally ill people cannot do that, so are they zombies??

[pattypimpdaddy2]

Are they out killing people or eating them.. If you can name a famous incident where a mentally ill paient killed someone i would like to be enlightend..

[spiderman_2k]

The infectants do not eat their victims, they kill them brutally.
So the whole eating thing isnt a part of it.

On November 17, 1957 police in Plainfield, Wisconsin arrived at the dilapidated farmhouse of Eddie Gein who was a suspect in the robbery of a local hardware store and disappearance of the owner, Bernice Worden. Gein had been the last customer at the hardware store and had been seen loitering around the premises.

Gein's desolate farmhouse was a study in chaos. Inside, junk and rotting garbage covered the floor and counters. It was almost impossible to walk through the rooms. The smell of filth and decomposition was overwhelming. While the local sheriff, Arthur Schley, inspected the kitchen with his flashlight, he felt something brush against his jacket.

When he looked up to see what it was he ran into, he faced a large, dangling carcass hanging upside down from the beams. The carcass had been decapitated, slit open and gutted. An ugly sight to be sure, but a familiar one in that deer-hunting part of the country, especially during deer season.

It took a few moments to sink in, but soon Schley realized that it wasn't a deer at all, it was the headless butchered body of a woman. Bernice Worden, the fifty-year-old mother of his deputy Frank Worden, had been found.

While the shocked deputies searched through the rubble of Eddie Gein's existence, they realized that the horrible discoveries didn't end at Mrs. Worden's body. They had stumbled into a death farm.

The funny-looking bowl was a top of a human skull. The lampshades and wastebasket were made from human skin.

A ghoulish inventory began to take shape: an armchair made of human skin, female genitalia kept preserved in a shoebox, a belt made of nipples, a human head, four noses and a heart.

The more the looked through the house, the more ghastly trophies they found. Finally a suit made entirely of human skin. Their heads spun as they tried to tally the number of woman that may have died at Eddie's hands.

Sounds kind of Mentally ill to me...

[pattypimpdaddy2]

But your assuming.... There is some sick people out there that get pleasure from doing stuff like that so really you just wasted space on this fourm.... That proves nothing.. It does not even say that the owner of the farm house.. And as far as the eating goes if they brutally kill them and slash them it does not matter because they can't think for themselves.. And not all mentally ill people are killers.. Maybe some because they were tramuatized when they were younger, ,but then again they have a reason to not allow strangers near them.. The people of 28 days later kill for no reason other then they were infected by a virus which kills them, but keeps there brain somewhat living so they can walk around and kill,eat,slash whatever with the purpose to kill cuz they need blood, ,and brains to survive without it they starve like the rest of us without food..

[spiderman_2k]

How does it not prove anything u asked for a case and i gave u one.... If they dont think for themselves how do they hunt in packs travelling at the same speed and formations??
Zombies wander around far apart from each other with no interaction, The "Infected" Hunt as groups striking at the same time. The "Infected" are not dead that is made clear, chances are they would die out but they dont care as there brain is only focused on killing. "Rage" is what they run on, they will hunt until they run out of energy where chances are they will die.

[pattypimpdaddy2]

Wow you are smart... If thats what you seriously think then ok, but the truth is that in that report they said nothing about a mentally ill person attacking anyone. And as far as the people of 28 days running in packs thats because they all want the same thing blood and brains or whatever cuz they need it to survive...

[spiderman_2k]

Surley not all people run at the same speed???
They were running in unison, Ed Gein was found Guilty many researchers now know he was mentally ill.Surley if they need those things to survive we would see them eating we dont, it would have been made clear if that was the approach.
Like i said when a person is very angry they dont think about survival, just attacking what they are aiming at, the "infected" being in a "hightened" Rage state wouldnt care about food or survival, just killing others to satisfy their rage....

[pattypimpdaddy2]

Obviously you have not seen the movie or you need to see it again because they talked quite a bit about them starving to death and even showed a man starving at the end.. I don't know what you were doing at those times maybe taking a nervous piss cuz you were scared to piss ur pants in a theater i don't know, but watch it again and comeback..

[spiderman_2k]

Yes starving to death, but the rage doesnt let up meaning they have no thoughts of consumption just killing....
If they were starving to death and thought of food they would attack each other and eat each other, but they dont, they starve over eating because they are not driven to it. Sorry if a few details are sketchy i havent seen it in about a month and a half.

My young padawan learner must learn not to spoil movies.

[jpmartin]

the "Sound of Music" was scary then 28 days later

[spiderman_2k]

Your bad grammar is scarier than 28 days later :rolleyes:

[necronon99]

This movie rocked go see it


one of, if not danny boyles best

[ONTO]

I agree. I loved this movie. It was just creepy the way Boyle shot it. The cinematography was super, the soundtrack (or lack thereoff) added to the whole eerie tone that Boyle created. And the color sceme made everything seem so dark and lonly. He just really set a mood of emptiness and hopelessness that added to the whole zombie, survival element.

You guys who are hating on this flick....what didn't you like about it? There is so much more to a movie other than just acting or weather or not it was a zombie movie.

[Pig Vomit]

I watched the movie on Sunday. I recommend waiting for the video/dvd rental release. Not saying I did not enjoy the movie..because I did. I can imagine the destruction caused by the virus on a city within the 28 day period..but I would have preferred they flash a few scenes with the main character in the hospital while the events on tv screens as nurses, doctors or other patients watch. For me I didn't get a good sense of the loss suffered at the hands of the virus. Another thing was this movie was not gory enough for me. Call me a freak but show me close ups of limbs being torn off, skin ripped from the body, something. Maybe I've become somewhat resistant to the effect movie violence and gore has on me

To sum up..If I had the option to go back in time and not watch this in a theatre I would. Instead wait for the rental release. Later I'll give a more thorough breakdown of the movie and what I thought of it in more detail.

[spiderman_2k]

ONTO I dont hate this movie i think its brilliant, in all my posts about this film i have defended it.....

[necronon99]

it rules plain and simple
go see it

[LegolasIsntSexy]

its good, but the ending sucked, even though when jim had his thumbs all the way into that soldiers eyes, that was pretty sweet :applaud:

[PyroXTorch]

This movie was the shiznit. It was amazing! I loved the huge camera views. U could really tell it was deserted. I also loved the soundtrack. Also the way that guy started out Spoilers> STUPID but became into a killing machine.

I thought he was squishing the guys head until i got out and my friend told me he was squishing his eyes. <spoilers

Few scenes i liked. At the start(girl vomiting)
Church scene(weird people just standing up)
that girl killed her survival friend(that was awsome)
the tunnel scene(seeing the "infected" getting closer and closer)<spoilers

Rage
1. a. Violent, explosive anger. See Synonyms at anger.
b. A fit of anger.

2. Furious intensity, as of a storm or disease.
3. A burning desire; a passion.
4. A current, eagerly adopted fashion; a fad or craze: when torn jeans were all the rage.

5. Especially, anger accompanied with raving; overmastering wrath; violent anger; fury.
torment, and loud lament, and furious rage. --Milton.

5 TELLS IT ALL.

Some RAGE info: might be some small spoilers
It means explosive anger. the infected have a BURNING DESIRE to KILL for no reason. and they are NOT zombies. its a disease that goes straight to ur brain and trigers the violent zone. they die like normal people. But u cant slow them down(maybe just a bit) until u kill them, they barely feel pain if any. Theyre like retarted people, some retards dont feel pain. The "infected" are like a disease, they try to take over. they fight in groups to convert the whole world to the "dark infected" side.

[Ronin]

Like the hand held love child of David Cronenburgh’s RABID & THE LAST MAN ON EARTH with Vincent Price (Based on the novel “I Am Legend” later remade as THE OMEGA MAN with Chuck Heston), 28 DAYS LATER is anything but original.

With that said its still solid entertainment for the first 2 acts. Unfortunately the finale is a real let down, the alternate ending after the credits at least sticks to the films predominant theme of mans self-destructive history and violent nature. It appears author Alex Garland (The Beach) can write a hell of a novel but still has a hard time with cinematic narrative structure.

The true star of this film is the cinematography that is responsible for 90% of the tension and creates a real sense of urgency. Director Danny Boyle (Shallow Grave, Trainspotting) for the most part helms with a deft hand and gets maximum impact out of the desolate sets and frenzied violence. There is a real aura of emptiness in the abandoned streets and highways that help suspend audience disbelief.

All the cast stay in character and deliver solid performances, even if they are mostly stereotypes. The edge comes from most of the actors being virtual unknowns adding a sense of mystery to how they will play out.

When compared to other modern horror entries this one is above average and certainly worthy of viewing. For the more discerning horror nuts it’s a nice treat that may well gain cult status, but if you’ve caught the hype wave you may well be disappointed.

[TyRoss]

For anyone confused with the title of this thread.

It is really about the Danny Boyle horror flick 28 Days Later

Not the Sandra Bullock Flick 28 Days

Although in reality Sandra Bullock is probobly scarier but Danny Boyle made the better movie. ;) :p :D

[spiderman_2k]

Cant u edit it Ty?

[IdahoMR2man]

This movie was FREAKING awesome. I just watched it. I give it a 8.85/10.

[TyRoss]

28 Days or 28 Days Later?

[IdahoMR2man]

Alright mister obvious....

[TyRoss]

Hey I gotta take the jokes where I can get em.... even if they're bad... which most of them are.

[Highfire]

i bought 28 days later on dvd. i havent seen it but i still bought it

[Costa]

The first 10 minutes for me were amazing. If you like this film I should recommend you read Day of the Triffids.
