Overview

Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs -- and it's absolutely impossible to contain.

to be honest, I don't believe in this movie at all. 28 days later, and the whole city is empty, that there is not even a cat, and the zombies are left only in the church? in a month without a woman (and even less, apparently), the soldiers are so crazy that they are going to shoot themselves? where are the horrors and consequences of mass illness? Nothing at all. It's like 28 years have passed, not 28 days. well, as usual, an ordinary courier (albeit motivated), and even after a coma, was able to kill (and sometimes in direct combat) a group of military without preparation. not, of course, if his last name is Shelby, then I wouldn't be surprised, but still.
and the action itself is pretty dull, though. a couple of encounters with zombies and the last batch.
what's a plus for the film I'll write down - zombies look like a real danger, they run and jump, so it definitely turned out better than the notorious walkers (who, it seems to me, just licked the first scene in 28 days), but the rest of the content seems to be better in walkers

@izkrys: I absolutely agree.
For its age, the film was probably a landmark, but now it looks very naive. We have already seen many post—attacks in different time intervals, and 28 days is a scanty time to fold your paws and put the muzzle in your mouth. But apparently enough for aunt pharmacist Selina to turn into a Rambo and a survival expert. We believe it.

Walkers are more realistic, but on the other hand, they have more time to show the details of the apocalypse, and then gallop across Europe

The plot is not bad and even implemented quite passably and watchable, but the quality of the shooting is really terrible, as if it were true on the phone
It's a great movie, though some of the actions were very annoying

Hello w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶!
The scene with the flight of the plane and the change of angles- wow! But the voice-over studios were clever in the key scene - as they noticed the phrase from the rags and sent a helicopter.
In full dubbing, "11 reception and so on" are translated, but there is no final phrase "send a helicopter".💀
Puchkov has not translated the pilot's speech with the operator, there is a phrase about a helicopter.
An option from the studio "positive" - there is no phrase about sending a helicopter, positively Ryabov - did not translate either the speech from the operator or about the helicopter.

Anecdote about a drunken giraffe- credit😁
- What giraffe?
- no more (about a giraffe lying on the floor from drinking)

I don't believe how Selena was filled from "you or you" to "Yes, take the pills, I don't want you to remember that."

The scene with the drop of blood that falls into the father's eye- ohh.

Be sure to watch

You should be more afraid of the living than the dead.
It is this thought that permeates the entire film.

London looks good, completely deserted. It's especially good when you realize that it was shot without computer graphics. It's really empty London! even the filming of the final scene from the air was shot from a real fighter jet. Nowadays, it's worth a lot!

I really like the song In the House - In a Heartbeat by John Murphy. Interestingly, I first heard it in the movie Kick-ass, but it turned out that it was written specifically for this film.

It's sad that they were shooting with a digital camera back then, (apparently inexpensive) and now the film will forever be in such deplorable quality.

Thanks to this movie, I realized that there are 3 things much scarier than the zombie apocalypse.:

  1. Danny Boyle, who decided that intentionally poor shooting quality was an awesome technique for conveying an oppressive atmosphere (I almost ruined my eyesight)
  2. An isolated bunch of men
  3. The phrase of the main character that you will no longer hear new music, read new books or watch new films in such conditions

I watched the movie for the first time in 2025, and now it already looks weak. The shooting quality is just "eye-gouging", well, really bad. The zombies came out well - they run, jump, and look so lively. It is also confusing that a month has passed since the beginning of the epidemic, but it seems like years. The soldiers started having spermotoxicosis in a month 🤦♀️ I can't believe it! Anyway, for me, the scenes in the house are the scariest thing in this movie, scarier than the zombie apocalypse. 😵💫

I decided to review it before it was released 28 years later. Well, first of all, the movie used to look different, it was something new, now it doesn't look like that anymore. I noticed that it was boring at times and I rewound, secondly, Murphy's soundtrack is gorgeous, for all time, it still excites and causes goosebumps. The acting is generally good. The second half of the film with the military is scarier to me than the scenes with the infected, after all, there is no monster scarier than a man. They write here that they don't believe that the soldiers went crazy in a month, but I believe: there is no law, there is no order anymore, they have weapons, power, strength and 2 girls nearby - alas, in such cases, women and children always went as consumables and material for use. This film makes it clear that if something like this happens, it's better to get drunk than to be and live as a woman in this new world.

@Iradakzlv: If they just wanted to rape a couple of women, I wouldn't even ask questions. there was also a moment where some soldier wanted to shoot himself, because there is no point in living without women.

@izkrys: Well, because when there are no women, violence is committed against weaker men. Apparently, this soldier understood this. An example is prisons. There was literally one soldier who cooked for everyone, played the role of cook and wore a cap - a potential victim for future violence in the absence of women. And no, they didn't just want to rape them, they wanted to make incubators out of them so that they would give birth to offspring + satisfy their base desires.

@Iradakzlv: honestly, I didn't even think that the soldier wanted to Roskomnadzor precisely because of this, although it was a good idea. Well, I don't believe in the idea of reality-based incubators at all. What do you mean, I don't believe it? if only a year had passed there, maybe. after a month? It's unrealistic. Well, for a month, even in the post-apocalypse (especially with him), well, you don't even have time to think about procreation. in short, nonsense on vegetable oil.

An overrated classic. The film looked good at the time, but today it is already quite outdated. An ordinary guy, as soon as he got a fashionable hairstyle, a few days after coming to his senses, immediately became a real alpha predator. The woman, on the contrary, lost all her cool-headed skills as soon as she got to the final location. The atmosphere itself and the zombies are not bad, but the rest raises big questions. 6 covid landscapes out of 10.

The first half hour is just fucked up by the atmosphere. London is dead, empty, as if you woke up in hell without declaring war. The soundtrack hits my head like an alarm bell from inside. Everything is shot in such a way that even the light of the sun seems contagious. Dirt, silence, fear — it works one hundred percent.
But then the movement begins, and it's as if the magic dissipates. Zombies turn into a background, and people start playing “we are worse than them” — it has already happened, it is no longer shocking. An army base, violence, moral dilemmas — it all seems necessary, but the feeling is not the same. Killian Murphy is cool, drags with his face “I still don't understand where I am and what I should do." But the movie is like it fired the first salvo, and then went off into the fog.
3½★ — because the start is fucking awesome. And further — darker does not mean deeper. But for the atmosphere and influence — respect.

It's a zombie movie.
This is a Rambo movie.

Do I understand correctly that gg escaped from the military and was also able to solve them?
Do I understand correctly that the movie is about zombies, but during the whole movie I saw about 20+ zombies?
It felt like it wasn't people who were afraid of zombies, but zombies who were afraid of people

But even now it doesn't even look bad. I liked the picture. In the style of the Walking Dead

A purely British zombie apocalypse filmed on a push-button phone

Well, for the early noughties, it's probably a good movie (?) Now, against the background of a greater variety in the genre, this film is already losing a lot, as for me. It looks boring, but it still stands up to the creepy atmosphere, you can't take that away.

It's an average movie, but there are still a couple of catchy moments.:
1) a note from parents saying "don't wake up"
2) the moment with a drop of blood and an eye
3) naked Cillian Murphy
4) The Ninth Doctor
5) Fast zombies

The film strongly scores on its own zombie setting. The action takes place in London, a metropolis with a population of 7 million people. The city is extinct. Where are these 7 million zombies? The streets are empty. Have the introverted zombies gone into hiding?

In The last of us, the desolation of cities is based on the fact that cordyceps likes darkness and dampness, so infected people live underground. In The Walking dead, megacities are the most dangerous area, as zombies scurry through the streets. What about here? Why is it empty?

And the second point: are the characters aware that they need to be quiet? They calmly speak out loud, knock over things, shout, make noise. In fact, no one has ever bothered to keep quiet during the film. I understand that zombies only pop out when it's convenient for the plot, but realism in this case just completely flushes down the toilet.

This is a dark and atmospheric look at the zombie apocalypse, which is no longer oppressed by action, but by a feeling of emptiness and anxiety. The film perfectly conveys the feeling of loneliness and a broken world, especially in the scenes of an empty London. The idea of infection and the rate of infection looked fresh and scary at the time. At the same time, closer to the finale, the plot becomes more straightforward and loses some of the tension, but a slash appears. In general, the characters are revealed superficially, which is why the dramatic moments do not always work to their full
potential. This is a strong, stylish film that has had a noticeable impact on the genre.

I remember this movie in a completely different way - an exciting action movie. But here it's more of an emotional drama on the verge of arthouse. In childhood, everything seems brighter, apparently. To be honest, I expected something different from the revision. I'm surprised that the first part managed to get as many as 2 sequels. Niche cinema.

The atmosphere in the series is good, for the time of 2002 it was shot quite tolerably (although the sound with the picture gives cheapness, I think one of the reasons why they could not recruit extras for the city, but only a couple were planted in the church on a low budget). Of course, the plot is uncomplicated, typical characters who are immediately clearly divided into two types: "they will die soon" and "they will survive against all odds." The "procreation" move is far-fetched in my opinion. As noted above, it's really only been 28 days, during this period, just as a person begins to adapt, and here they have already folded their paws and are thinking "where to find a lady to have children."
Yes, the first impression (I watched it for the first time in 2004) was of course higher, it was clear, at that time a lot of TV series and films about zombies had not yet been shot. Now, as a viewer who has already been tempted by this topic, I am perceived less and less fascinating.
In general, the film, as one of the founders, yes, it is inferior to the same Resident Evil (which, by the way, is also from 2002), but still has the right to be viewed.
