28 Days Later	comment	In this 2002 post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, a literal hate plague begins taking over Great Britain after animal rights activists set loose an infected chimp in a lab at Cambridge University. While scientists had designed the "Rage" virus as a way of neutralizing violent impulses, it ended up having the opposite effect: once freed, the chimp starts to excarnify its would-be rescuers. Cue the cut-away.Twenty-eight days later, Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakens from a coma; he finds himself naked in a totally deserted hospital (which sits in the middle of an eerily abandoned London) with a scarred-over head wound, an impressive growth of facial hair, and no idea of what's happened in the past month. Jim wanders around the city, plastic bag of Pepsi cans in hand, before he meets some non-shambling, angry-as-hell Rage-infected pseudo-zombies. After escaping their wrath, Jim teams up with a group of fellow survivors to kick some ass in search of an escape â€” and a cure, promised by radio broadcasts from a distant barricade.Survivor Selena (Naomie Harris), a realist, considers survival the only option and thinks of Jim's naivetÃ© as a hindrance. Frank (Brendan Gleeson) and Hannah, father and daughter, see things less bleakly â€” and both suffer for it. The small group continues forth out of London in search of the promised cure, but when they arrive at the source of the radio broadcasts, their promised land turns into another nightmare...28 Days Later avoids using the word "zombie", and it also turns a number of common zombie tropes on their head: Once the Rage virus takes over, those infected with it become fast-moving, mindlessly violent killers (without a hunger for brains). Infectees are "transformed" almost immediately, preventing them from hiding their condition. The Rage infection itself devastates society and causes an apocalypse due to the ease of transmission and the overall panic.Despite precautions to avoid the appearance of a zombie movie, the film ended up getting pigeonholed as one anyway. It did fairly well at the box office, received several comic-book prequels (which explore the period of time between the initial outbreak and the film), and managed to spawn a sequel (28 Weeks Later). The creator has planned a third installment in the series called 28 Months Later, but it has been stuck in Development Hell ever since the release of Weeks. It was eventually scrapped, with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland reuniting to make 28 Years Later.Not to be confused with 28 Days, where Sandra Bullock plays an alcoholic in a detox centre.

28 Days Later / int_1522d74	type	Technically-Living Zombie
28 Days Later / int_1522d74	comment	Technically-Living Zombie: The Infected are a poster-child for this trope, and in many ways 28 Days Later started the wave of interest in this new "zombie" (really, Crazies). Anything that will kill a human can kill them, i.e. riddling their chest with bullets that are not expertly aimed. They've got a strong "mind-over-matter" adrenaline rush, though, so don't wait for them to get right on top of you. They're not smart enough to use weapons, and aren't explicitly trying to "eat" people (though they do animalistically bite people to attack). The real danger is that they'll easily infect you from close contact, what with all of their mucous membranes disintegrating into a bloody mess and puking up torrents of blood with little or no provocation. This trope also comes back to hurt them as they are still living human beings who need to eat and sleep but the virus overrides such instincts. As a result, they die off within a few weeks due to a combination of starvation, dehydration and sleep deprivation, all made worse by the virus causing them to use much more energy than normal.

28 Days Later / int_1616e13	comment	Ripped from the Headlines: Of a sorts. The infected were inspired both by real life epidemics - foot-and-mouth disease and mad cow disease - and recent anthrax and bio-terrorism scares in London. The reasoning was that George Romero's zombies were inspired by the fear of nuclear attack, while a more modern cultural fear was disease outbreaks. They were also influenced by many hot social issues such as road rage, hospital rage, air rage etc. There was a lot of research done on the things that had happened in Rwanda and Sierra Leone.

28 Days Later / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: The rate at which the Infected vomit blood should kill them from dehydration and/or blood loss within a matter of hours. There's also the speed at which the virus infects its victims. A virus that induces intense rage is theoretically feasible, but infected victims are shown to take less than a minute to go from normal to mindlessly enraged. In reality, even an exceptionally aggressive virus would take several days to infect a victim to a point where their behavior would start to change. The eggs being off to the point of being inedible and with the taste to match it, some four weeks after delivery to the store. Even without any extra care for the duration, they should be still fine. However, this might be deliberate, simply to point out what an awful cook Jones is. Same goes with the rotten apples and citruses in the supermarket, which at worst would get dried up and wrinkled (including the irradiated ones), rather than outright rotten into a pulp - that would take them another four-five weeks.

28 Days Later / int_372bc105	comment	Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: This is more than complicated. Selena is on the cynical end, to the point where she kills her companion without a single second of hesitation just to be sure he will die before infection takes hold. Frank is on the idealism and optimism side (at least when compared with any other character) and Jim is in the middle and going back and forth from one side to another. Frank is eventually killed by the soldiers he was trying to find, while Selena's cynicism is wearing out, as she is getting closer with Jim. Then there is major West, who is as cynical as Selena. In the original ending Jim died just after embracing the idealism side, so the cynicism actually won, but test audiences found it way too depressing. Which leads to Selena embracing the optimistic side of the scale and the upbeat ending. And even if you consider Frank as a person on idealism side, without comparison with more cynical character he's a Knight in Sour Armour(!).

You know, what he did in more than justified self-defense and to rescue his beloved ones, while the victims were AWOL at best, Dangerous Deserters at worst.

He admits this to a girl that he had escaped a holding facility with, and plans to atone by becoming one of these, being that he's one of the few people alive (maybe the only one) who knows anything about the virus and has the best chance of curing it. Unfortunately, she had lost her parent earlier during the initial outbreak, and lost her brother during the escape. Apparently learning that the guy she'd been helping was the root cause of those things is too much for her, so first she kisses him, then grabs his gun and shoots him. Then lets herself be killed by the soldiers pursuing them. So much for that.

28 Days Later / int_8aa0f76	comment	Deconstructed Trope: Of some popular zombie tropes. The very things that make the rage virus so deadly also stop it short of ending the world; the violent, visible insanity of the infected renders it impossible to disguise a bite victim, and the fact that infectees succumb to rapid, shrieking madness within seconds of infection means it's impossible for the virus to spread over any distance a human can't travel on foot (across oceans, say). Furthermore, the zombies never think to eat each other, and they starve to death en masse within a couple weeks. Especially amusing given that this is pretty much the film that started and codified the Technically-Living Zombie trope. The first movie to showcase this kind of apocalypse outright proves why it's impossible!

Unlike typical zombies up to that point, the Infected were aggressive, extremely fast, and while they did bite and tear people apart, they didn't actually eat them. Despite trying not to be a zombie film, the Infected of 28 Days started the modern idea of "sprinting zombies". Dawn of the Dead (2004), as well as the video game Left 4 Dead, cited 28 Days as direct inspiration for their own mindless killing machines.

That's about ten days since she killed a human for the first time. Her backstory has her having to kill her own family in self-defense, and then just going from there. At first, Jim barely even tries to defend himself and is in deep shock due to all the violence he's experiencing. Later on, he gets his first kill by reluctantly bashing a kid's head open with his bat, having no other choice and still struggling about it few days later. But by the final act, he runs around the blockade and manor and kills the soldier one-by-one in cold blood, without as much as a blink.

Also, Jim waking up in the hospital to find London abandoned mirrors the beginning of The Day of the Triffids. The crimson eyes sported by the "zombies" appear to take direct inspiration from those appearing on the eponymous living dead in The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue. One of the soldiers talks about his favorite joke from The Simpsons, which was then mentioned in the commentary for that episode ("Treehouse of Horror III) by Al Jean.

In his defense he's come out of a coma to find the whole world flipped upside down, but his bumbling still gets Mark killed and nearly Selena as well. He quickly starts getting more competent as the plot unfolds.

Not to mention their grand answer to infection is to set a trap for healthy women and rape them. And how long did it take for pretty much all of them (sans Farrell) to resort to this? A month.

While they're faster than the usual "shambling corpses", they also have all the weaknesses of regular human beings: they can be killed with regular bullets at center mass, and Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain is not at all required. And because they're still alive, they still need to eat: the film makes clear that because the Rage virus suppresses the hunger and sleep functions, all the zombies will starve to death in a matter of weeks.

"Staying alive is as good as it gets." She warms up once she's spent some time with the others, though. Naomi Harris explained that she and Danny Boyle came up with a back story that Selena had to kill her whole family in one afternoon, including her younger siblings, to explain her harsh outlook on life.

So West "promised them women".

Hannah, due to being given valium right before a zombie attack. She's this for the soldiers in universe â€” asking who will be the replacement if Henry is killed, right in the middle of the night. She sobers up a little before Jim finally gets into the mansion.
