Some small differences between this script and the finished film—few snippets of dialog here that were cut and/or addressed visually; a line here and there spoken by a different character; actions occasionally staged in slightly different ways that lend themselves here better to being read, whereas the film, rightly, presents them in a more visually and cinematically appealing way. But largely this screenplay is just what you get in the film, and it stands on its own extremely well.

Garland’s themes are substantial and his precision and focus excellent. He draws on some wonderful sources of inspiration (several mentioned in his intro) and reworks them into his own thing to brilliant effect. It makes perfect sense that 28 Days Later helped usher in a new interest in zombie stories. It remains one of the best of the genre.

Awesome and sick book. Glad that it wasn't really zombies, it was actually a virus that changed people, making them hostile and animals. It's a virus that controls peoples' mind to bite others and spread the virus. It would also suck if I woke up one day and find my self in a deserted city.

I bought this thinking it was a book that the film was based on.... well done! It's actually the script of the film, so I think if you haven't seen the film (which is great) you don't want to read this.

The concept of the film was great, taking the zombie genre to a more "realistic" level, and looking at how an epidemic would affect the few survivors left in the country and how they cope with the hopelessness of the situation. So in that way it's a great script. Just more fun to watch rather than read.

Watched the movie, which counts as reading this script, right?

Yes.
