I read about it but can't think of a title, and would like to see it.

Its a man who is in London or somewhere and he wakes up and there is nobody else there and the city is completely empty apart from him.

Something like that anyway...

28 days later, its good.

Ah yes, thats the one I was thinking of!

Cheers BJ x

Not a problem, i thought it was really good, but i know people that hated it. Think it is one of those films with no middle ground, you love it or hate it.

Yeah i managed to miss the end of that becasue the tape recorder ran out. Is it on TV?...again?

Great film but scared me to death, the only film i've ever watched at the pictures that made me want to leave after 20 mins. Don't watch it alone! :o

The original Japenese version of The Grudge still makes me quake like a lost puppy. 28 Days Later - yeh it split the camp... I liked the first bit, and was really disappointed by about midway through.

ive heard a sequels coming out 28 years later its about how the UK coped with the aftermath - FACT

Good film I thought - However seems to imitate George Romero's teaching that humans are infact the monsters who cannot seem to work together. Asides that, very good indeed. I will always cover my eye lids the next time someone has top side of me in a fight since that film :D

Possibly the best eye guaging scene ever!

28Days later suffered because it didnt appeal to the Zombie purists, but I thought it was an OK film - thought Christopher Ecclestone was pretty poor in it though.

Sequel is 28 Weeks later, about the "repopulation" of the UK...but guess what happens?

Stuff...stuff happens (or some such)

Oh dear, what are they thinking? 28 weeks later (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0463854/) Sequels are never as good! Well i know i won't be going to pictures to see this, i would be intrigued to see it but the first one gave me nightmares :blush:

Followed by 28 Months Later, 28 Years Later, 28 Decades Later, etc, etc, presumably? ;)

I didn't hate it as such, I was just realy bored, nothing happened.

Apparently there's a pr0n spoof: 28 Gays Later.

The new film 28 Weeks Later is loosley based on the war in Iraq, as in the Americans turn up to a place in carnage, try to sort it out and balls it up. Clever.

"Britain has been emptied. There's nobody there. It's completely dead. And six months later the Americans arrive to reboot it back up again. But, of course, something goes wrong."

Great - Americans to the rescue again </sarcasm>

Be fair though, according to the laws of Hollywood, we NEED American assistance to do anything properly - left to our own devices, we'd just spend all our time saying "Oh, I say!" in a plummy accent and being homosexual...

Or the plot thickens and the english mega rich plum-in-mouth swine is actually behind the epidemic of flesh eaters sat in luxury hideout stroking his cat.

Meh, the Americans ruin most films... War of the Worlds is a particular example, the '53 original was crap, and had almost zero connection to the WOTW book apart from it featured Martians who died from catching cold at the end of the film, and last year's remake starring Tom Cruise was even less relevant apart from the Steamer scene which was based on the Thunder Child in the book.

...But the deceitful Sir Hugh Floppy-Fringe, gets his comeupance, when after shooting the heroine in the back, he tries to flee, only to be foiled when the improbably handsome hero releases a baying mob of zombies...By the time they're finished with him, all thats left of the cowardly Brit is a bloodied cravat...

Virtually writes itself, dosn't it?

Plot Summary for
28 Weeks Later... (2007)

The film starts six months after the Rage virus has spread throughout the city of London. The United States Army has restored order and is repopulating the quarantined city, when a carrier of the Rage virus enters London and unknowingly re-ignites the spread of the deadly infection, wreaking havoc on the entire population.

This sounds like potentially another in a line of lame ducks ...... but
Spanish director, Screenplay co written by the director too his 2001 (Intacto)
is simply a great film.

The idea it's like the allied forces entering Iraq then making it a dogs dinner is another great metaphor.

Stay Tuned

Sound of Music scares the knackers out of me.

Me too. Any film whose theme tune announces that "The Hills Are Alive" is bound to be scary.......
