Title: 28 Weeks Later
Post by: X-ray on May 13, 2007, 04:03:58 PM
Pretty darn good, my son!
And it has one of the best opening sequences I've ever seen. When Harris was running across the field my blood ran cold. I don't thing weapons would have helped him either.
Well worth seeing.

I'm dead keen to watch that one.  Loved the first one.  I thought it was a damn good job on the budget.  It had a lot of impact, and that really counts for horror.

I assumed the second movie was a "money-grabbing ripoff". It's nice to hear that it's good.

I really liked the first one, except for the disappointing last 15 minutes. I didn't like the idea that the viral infection is just quarantined on the UK and the rest of the world is just continuing as normal. I wanted it to be a worldwide epidemic.

Seriously, which would you prefer to do in life? Would you rather be fighting blood-spitting zombies for survival or working at a boring job, getting stuck in traffic jams and paying taxes? Personally, I'd go for the blood-spitting zombies any time.

I pay my taxes to a bunch of blood suckers already.

Let's transplant a 'they're not zombies!' 'yes they are!'-discussion from imdb to here  :-D.

Even better than the opening scene to 28 Days Later? That has got to be the most amazing scene from any film I have ever seen, and that film remains one of my favourites ever. Think I will see it even though in the trailer it looked like they had made YAAAM (Yet Another American Action Movie)

I really hated that character. I was very glad when he was killed.

I really enjoyed the first movie! Watching those creatures running, was a stressful experience (I was used to the oldskool, slow wandering dummies).

Other movies I`ve seen lately (though not really new), were Shaun of the Dead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365748/) and Evil (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813129/), both having funny scenes and nice special fx ;-).


Prepare for the ultimate 3D experience, Night of the Living Dead 3D (http://www.nightofthelivingdead3d.com/html/index.html), a Romero`s classic remake ;-)
