In this latest film from director Danny Boyle, a massive epidemic has swept the world, leaving in its wake a host of rabid humans seething with hatred and bent on destroying anyone untouched by the disease. Four seemingly unaffected people—a young man, a young woman, a father, and his daughter—flee London through an apocalyptic landscape as they try to reach the coast, beset along the way by attacks of “Infected” at every turn. When they arrive at an isolated house in the country, inhabited by a small group of soldiers, they think they have found a haven from the violence outside. But they soon find they’ve jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

Fantastic screenplay for one of my favorite horror films. The differences between the script and the final product are slight, but it was interesting to see where they veered.

Haven't read the book but have seen the CleanFlix version of the movie. Really well done. Not so much about fighting the zombies, but more about the people dealing with the situation. Refreshing. No hollywood prepackaged ending.

I would love to see this in novel format, but the screenplay will have to do. The movie is awesome!

This was actually quite a fun reading experience. It's the screenplay of the movie and i've only seen it once years ago, so it felt like I was reading about a dream or memory I once had, weirdly familiar yet new.
It being a screenplay made it really straight to the point and that was a breath of fresh air honestly. No long descriptions of sceneries here that fill up an entire page, no sir. I like this style of writing in general, just straight to the point.
Alot of fun for what it was.

28 Days Later is finally available to rent online, so after years of trying to find a copy of the DVD at a reasonable price, I was actually able to watch it! I loved it, as I had hoped. Cillian Murphy was the original draw for me but the overall story was enjoyable too. It was violent and depressing at times yet also had moments of real beauty and wonderful human connection. I ended up watching it twice in the space of three days and would have considered watching it again, except that my rental period ended.
Reading the script just a short while after that, I was pleasantly surprised that all the suspense was there. Despite having every moment fresh in my mind, I flew through this, reading whenever I had the chance in the middle of a busy few days. I have read The Beach by Alex Garland, which I did like, although this particular story I enjoyed far more. I am looking forward to the newer movies in this series.
