Movie Reviews of 28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Thinker's Horror
Summary: 5 Stars
If you didn't like this movie, that's too bad, especially because that means you just cannot see a good movie even if it were to hit you in the face. The problem with this movie is that the zombies in the movie provide more of a backstory for the movie and the things that are happening.
Instead, what you get is a really smart and intelligent movie with a very good twist at the end that does actually make much better use of the zombies. Some of the images are praise-worthy as well, especially of the horses, the "bright sunny day" over the typical "doom-and-gloom" feel of most horror movies and just an odd soundtrack that, while it doesn't seem to fit in a horror movie only makes it that much creepier.
If you want a bloodbath, watch the sequel, 28 Weeks Later, which is much more intense, bloody, and violent, but just as intelligent and well made, with many hailing it as an on par sequel, a rarity in movies, especially.
If you like horror movies or intelligent movies, this movie is indeed a must-see, similar to, say, Rosemary's Baby, which is hardly scary at all.

Summary of 28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)
The director/producer team that created Trainspotting turn their dynamic cinematic imaginations to the classic science fiction scenario of the last people on Earth. Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma to find London deserted--until he runs into a mob of crazed plague victims. He gradually finds other still-human survivors (including Naomie Harris), with whom he heads off across the abandoned countryside to find the source of a radio broadcast that promises salvation. 28 Days Later is basically an updated version of The Omega Man and other post-apocalyptic visions; but while the movie may lack originality, it makes up for it in vivid details and creepy paranoid atmosphere. 28 Days Later's portrait of how people behave in extreme circumstances--written by novelist Alex Garland (The Beach)--will haunt you afterward. Also featuring Brendan Gleeson (The General, Gangs of New York) and Christopher Eccleston (Shallow Grave, The Others). --Bret FetzerHailed as the most frightening film since The Exorcist, acclaimed Director Danny Boyle's visionary take on zombie horror "isn't just scary…it's absolutely terrifying" (Access Hollywood).
An infirmary patient awakens from a coma to an empty room…in a vacant hospital…in a deserted city. A powerful virus, which locks victims into a permanent state of murderous rage, has transformed the world around him into a seemingly desolate wasteland. Now a handful of survivors must fight to stay alive, unaware that the worst is yet to come…
