| | SPLICEDwire | "28 Days Later" review (2003) Danny Boyle, Cillian Murphy, Naomi Harris |
 | | The eerily and utterly empty streets of a looted London in the early scenes of "28 Days Later" are a perfectly chilling primer for the gritty neo-B-movie horror to follow in this incisive, underground-styled revival of the zombie flick genre. |
 | | While Jim was comatose, a band of well-meaning animal-rights activists had attempted to free a handful of monkeys from a lab where they were quarantined with an unknown virus so powerful that any contact with contaminated body fluids almost instantaneously induces gory, guttural heaves and, within moments, a fierce, mindless, furiously cannibalistic bloodlust. |
 | | As a struggle ensued the cages were opened, the activists and lab scientists were infected and now -- 28 days later -- Jim is about to be discovered by what's left of London's feral, zombiefied population, now starving for human flesh. |
