28 Years Later




When I was a child, I remember watching ""28 Days Later"", the 2002 British post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Danny Boyle. The film follows the story of Jim, a bicycle courier who wakes up from a coma to find that a virus has turned most of the population of Great Britain into flesh-eating zombies. I was only 12 years old at the time, and the film terrified me. But I also couldn't look away. I was fascinated by the film's bleak and unforgiving world, and by the characters' struggle to survive.
I remember thinking that ""28 Days Later"" was one of the most realistic zombie movies I had ever seen. The zombies were fast, strong, and relentless, and they were always lurking just around the corner. There was no safe place to hide, and the characters were always in danger.
The film also had a very strong emotional core. The characters were all flawed and complex, and they made mistakes and bad decisions. But I couldn't help but root for them, because I understood their desperation.
I was so impressed by ""28 Days Later"" that I watched it again and again. I even read the novel that the film was based on. And when I heard that a sequel, ""28 Weeks Later"", was in the works, I was excited to see it.
""28 Weeks Later"" was released in 2007, and it was even more intense than its predecessor. The film follows the story of a group of survivors who are trying to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of the virus. But the virus is still out there, and it's more deadly than ever.
The characters in ""28 Weeks Later"" are even more flawed and complex than the characters in ""28 Days Later"". They're all trying to do the right thing, but they're often driven by their own selfish desires. And that's what makes them so relatable.
I think that ""28 Days Later"" and ""28 Weeks Later"" are two of the best zombie movies ever made. They're both intelligent, suspenseful, and emotionally resonant. If you're a fan of zombie movies, or if you just enjoy a good scare, I highly recommend checking them out.
