The boring entry that's keeping me wide awake.
Fucking horror movies, goddamn them!
When I go to see X-Men the scariest thing I want to see is Hugh Jackmen running around, bleeding, naked and screaming his head off. And that's it! No Zombies!!
My threshold for horror has always been painfully pitiful. Anything more then Buffy the Vampire Slayer will have me suffering weeks of sleepless nights. I'm a wuss, I've got an over-active imagination, or an under-active sense of reality.
Whatever it is, it doesn't handle Zombies, evidently.
The pre-views for X-Men 2 were tame. You had a Disney movie in there, a Dumb and Dumber In Highschool, The Matrix reloaded.
And then an Indie looking one started and I thought "Ooo! A movie that doesn't look like it travels faster then the speed of light!"
It started in a kind of rural setting, you see some shops, maybe a little mini mart, a gas station and then BOOM! There's a big, colossal explosion.
The screen blackens and says 28 days later...
And then there's a dank, deserted looking hospital room and on the only occupied bed the patient wakes up. He's groggy and good looking. That young, lanky, alternative looking guy. He goes outside and looks around, everything is deserted. He says "Hello!?"
Nothing.
(I thought maybe this was a movie about war or atomic bombs.)
Suddenly the leading man starts narrating in a panicked voice, like he's talking to someone conspiratorially.
"I-I passed out, it was drugs. I woke up in the hospital and no one was there! No one! I don't know what's going on?"
"You're infected aren't you!?" This is a girls voice, she's British.
"What's going on?!"
"Listen to me, it's in the blood...you have to run." the girl says.
As this voice-over goes on, you see flashing scenes of men in chemical resistant masks carrying guns, you see the young man running through woods and there's shouting,
"Infected!" "Infected, infected!" "They're everywhere."
And then an apartment building. The film slows down and he's in a room, sweaty and out of breath.
"Hello?" Something jumps on him and the film cuts.
Then the girls voice comes on again, eerily calm.
"It's a disease, it's something in the blood.'
Don't travel by day unless you have to."
From the director of Trainspotting, a remake of Zombie Horror, Scary as hell......
The screen flashes and you see three or four young adults in an antiquely furnished room of an abandoned mansion.
The girl whose been narrating sits on a couch, talking to the leading man whose standing,
"They've killed all of them... and you'll be next."
He looks passed her at the window,
"What's that?" he whispers.
There's a scream, a flash of yellow/red eyes and then glass breaking. The screen blackens.
28 Days Later,
in Theaters next blah blah.
You really had to be there to be scared. My writing doesn't capture all the...zombieness of it. But it was scary, you can be sure of that!
