It's NOT a Zombie Flick
First and foremost, let's settle something right now. This movie is NOT a zombie flick. I'm so sick and tired of hearing people talk about how it's a zombie flick. Zombies typically die and come back to life. The infected people in this movie (yes, infected is the correct term) are possessed with super human strength and no sense of indignity. The blood in the infected is what causes other people to become infected. Not being bitten or attacked. Just contact with infected fluid or tissue...
Hell, why am I arguing about this?
I love the movie. It starts off with a bike messenger coming out of a coma (Cillian Murphy and his wang hanging out. Gotta love full frontal male nudity.) and discovering that his world very quickly went to sh*t over the week he was out. Finding a few survivors and determining that they need to get out of dodge and fast, they embark on a journey to get to where the military is supposed to be holed up. What they discover when they get there is that being infected might not be the worst thing that people can have changed into.
There is a sequel scheduled to be coming out later this year entitled 28 WEEKS LATER. I'm not sure if the original throat choke can be matched with that one, but I'm more than willing to pay the money to see if it's up to task.
With my fingers crossed for more willy action. Hey... girls need something to look at too!

| I didn't like this movie one bit I thought it was boring and very annoying. It also dragged in parts and it also supposedly played on the scare factor (I read in another review) which I completely do not agree with, this film was not one bit scary. Although yes it had originality it lost in the creativity factor, it seemed like I've seen this movie before even though I hadn't. I also hated all of the characters, and the imagery of the film was ugly and to put it in a nutshell nothing stood out about this film for me. |

| Every time I watch this movie it's just as effective as it was the first time. It is so good I am not bad-mouthing the sequel before seeing it :) |

Ugh--I just Tivo'd this the other day, completely forgetting that certain parts will be "edited for content." And imagine my disappointment when I realized exactly which "part" was edited! Bloody TV.
Still...I enjoyed the movie as much as I did the first time I saw it. "Parts" or not. |
