The infected are coming....


I have another scary one for you tonight. It is an older movie, but I actually just watched it for the first time tonight. 28 Days Later is a really good movie. I suspected it to be just another version of let’s say Resident Evil or something like that, but it was way better. For example on Resident Evil the infected people just kind of walk around. They aren’t any real big hurry to catch their victims, but in this movie the infected people are like track stars which make it even scarier. The movie is set in Britain. The whole infection kicks off when animal activist try to save some animals from experimentation. They definitely should have listened to the scientist before they made a big mistake. The infection is very contagious, and is spread through the blood, but of course the infected are very hostile, and don’t really care about spreading the virus to other people. The lead character is Jim who wakes up from a coma, to find the whole country totally upside down. How horrible would that be? To wake up from a coma to find out a deadly virus has turned everyone into flesh-eating monsters? This is definitely not my idea of a happy recovery. Luckily he meets up with some survivors, and they are able to fill him in on some super zombie survivor tips. This movie is packed full of really jumpy scenes. At one of those points in the movie where people are going into dark places you know they shouldn’t be going I totally started pacing, and lecturing the television. This movie also had a very high gore factor. So if you are a squeamish person, this movie is definitely not for you. There is actually a sequel call 28 Weeks Later. I bought the two disc combo at Wal-mart. As soon as I watch that one I’ll fill you in on which one was better. Have a good night, and don’t let the infected crazy people bite.
