This post-apocalyptic zombie horror by Danny Boyle follows Cillian Murphy through a destroyed England as he searches for sanctuary alongside a group of other survivors. One of the first films to employ the “running zombie” trope, 28 Days Later is a gritty, stylish, nightmarish take on an otherwise played out genre. Using an extremely fast-acting “rage” contagion as its zombification device, this film mixes plague-horror, zombie-horror and human vs human survival horror together for a unique experience. If you’ve ever been a fan of zombie movies, I’m sure you’ve strategized in your head about how you’d survive in a zombie apocalypse scenario. I know I have. When I first saw running zombies in 28 Days Later, I remember thinking, “Well, there go all of my plans out the window. It’s clearly impossible to survive running zombies.”
