28 Days Later is a 2002 British post-apocalyptic science fiction film directed by Danny Boyle. With a screenplay written by Alex Garland, the film stars Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Noah Huntley, Brendan Gleeson and Christopher Eccleston. Set in Great Britain, just after the turn of the 21st century, the story depicts the breakdown of society following the accidental release of a highly contagious virus and focuses upon the struggle of four survivors to cope with the ruination of the life they once knew.
A critical and commercial success, the film is widely recognised for images of a deserted London, and was shot almost entirely on digital video. The film spawned the 2007 sequel, 28 Weeks Later, as well as the graphic novel 28 Days Later: The Aftermath.
Style and inspiration
On the DVD commentary, Boyle and Garland frequently call it a post apocalyptic, horror and zombie film, commenting on scenes that were specific references to George A. Romero’s original Dead trilogy. However, during the initial marketing of the film Boyle did try to distance the film from such labels. Boyle identified John Wyndham‘s The Day of the Triffids as Garland’s original inspiration for the story. Danny Boyle says that the film is not a science fiction horror film but rather a drama in that environment

NOT A ZOMBIE FILM THE INFECTED ARE SICKOS ZOMBIES CANT DIE FROM STARVATION BUT IT WAS A GOOD FLICK LOTS OF TERROR I OWN IT.
Well, the idea is still pretty much meant that the infected ARE the zombies.
Just because these zombies are different to other zombies (i.e. not freaking magic perpetual motion machines) doesn’t make them not zombies.
that’s nice british movie, i think you should take a look at another movie from brits – it’s called Dead Set, i didn’t find it on this site, but sure it should be described here. pretty awesome for a zombiefan, ya know
Thanks zombiefan for recommending. I’ll be sure to check it out.
pretty much any movie were people chase down people and infect/eat them is considered a zombie movie nowadays
It’s considered as one only by its viewers, but, possibly, the directors don’t.
they are infected with rage, and are not the undead,,
so i dont think they are zombies,,
but does it really matter,,
its just a diffrent way of telling the same story..the infection of mankind.
