A New Spin On An Old Tale
28 Days Later is one of my favourite movies. Unlike Dawn of the Dead, Land of the Dead, and a myriad of other zombie flicks, this movie is somewhat more realistic. Every day we're forced to come to terms with various infections and diseases in our world. AIDS, the avian flu virus, mad cow disease, rabies; they're all simple to contract and what's to say 'rage' is not a weapon of biological warfare hiding in some bunker in Germany. That's definitely what made me love the prequel to 28 Weeks Later, it had relevance. The soundtrack and cinematography was absolutely fantastic, but with the release of 28 Weeks Later, I was all that impressed. The soundtrack was basically a rip-off of 28 Days Later, I kept on hearing 'In The House-In A Heartbeat' and one new song, but that was the jist of it. I found that rather disappointing. Besides that letdown, I was impressed by how this film showed what actually happened when infection broke out, something we didn't really have the chance to see on a grade scale in 28 Days Later. I somewhat regret growing my nails because at the most tense moments I ended up putting my fingers in my palms with great force, impaling myself. I was on the edge of my seat for the most part. The only quam I have is that there is a chance for another film after this one; I would prefer if there wasn't. It's neat that it turned out that England was just a tiny infected island, and we were left seeing France being ravaged but I think it's time to put it to rest. The end occured.
