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.
A worldwide epidemic occurs and apparntly only four persons ar unaffected the first one highlighted is a young man who wakes up in a hospital. Well they try to flee London but are attacked by everyone infected by this virus that has taken over.
This scary post apacoliptic book is interesting. The ideas could affect us all and during this pandamic, we have seen food disappearing off our shelves.
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.
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.
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.
The story line is great and reading the book was just as good if not better than watching the movie. Watching the movie added a realistic experience to the read. When I read about the military camp and all the discourse that went on, I could just watch the movie over in my head and get a vivid perception of what it would have looked like. It was a book worth reading and I would reccomend this book to zombie book lovers out there.
Of course I loved this. Alex Garland is a genius, even though he admitted that 28 Days Later was influenced by a bunch of different things.. especially Day of the Triffids. I haven't read Day of the Triffids, but it's definitely on my reading want list.
