    28 Days Later 2002

    ★★★★ Watched 12 Dec 2024

    I definitely got ripped off buying this on DVD, but it had to be done 🤷🏿‍♂️

    There’s something raw and unrelenting about 28 Days Later that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Danny Boyle doesn’t just deliver a zombie movie—scratch that, an “infected” movie—but a full-on plunge into post-apocalyptic chaos. The real genius here is how it strips the genre down to its nerve endings. The story begins with Cillian Murphy’s Jim waking up alone in an empty…

    Guys this is a phenomenal film. I’m gonna gush a bit here so indulge me please. 

    Gladiator 2 does a really good job of avoiding the traps that historical epics like napoleon can fall into. Let’s be clear here. Absolutely none of this…

    There are moments in cinematic history where we have to take a step back and realise we’ve stepped up to the next level. This is one of them. 

    I cannot begin to explain what this film is. On a story level, I’m a book reader.  I knew where this film was going and what it needed to show going in and yet I was hooked to every moment. Three hours and I couldn’t spare a moment to go to the…
