28 Years Later is the third zombie film set in the UK by Director Danny Boyle. His first film was 28 Days Later and his second film was 28 Weeks Later.
I watched this film at the cinema, this past weekend. I’d enjoyed Boyle’s other two films, as I tend to love any zombie story. It started with clips that felt like they’d been forced together and it took a while to get into the film’s story, but when it did, it was thoroughly enjoyable.
The zombies weren’t as scary as they are in most films and I never felt that any of the characters were in serious danger, which was a disappointment. Boyle had tried to add more fear by having a massive ‘alpha’ zombie, but without explanation, it just felt out of place.
The warmth between the boy Spike and his mother was touching, but none of the characters really developed, despite what was happening to them.
The twist ending was equally unexpected and disturbing and will likely lead to another film to show what happens next to Spike.
If you like zombie stories, you may enjoy my Z-Virus book series, which currently two books:
The Z-VIRUS mutates people’s DNA. The majority of infected people become zombies, but a minority seem immune but the virus causes them to develop powers.
At first these powers like invisibility, telepathy and telekinesis aided survival. But as the Z-Virus continues to mutate, the powers become more and more destructive.
Forced with no other choice, one group goes in search of a cure. But will they survive the roaming zombie hordes long enough to make an epic journey across the country to find the cure?
Join Alexis, Vis, Chan, Luke, Natalie, Grace, Chloe, Kyle, David and Goliath on this journey in Z-VIRUS Powers, the first instalment of this three part story.
