Zombies and Filmography: 28 Days Later

[rochvelleth]

Yesterday, I happened to become the owner of the film 28 Days Later on video, thanks to Woolworths saleygoodness (I ventured out to see how my immune system would cope, but it turns out it didn't very well, because I feel awful today... dammit). Anyway, I watched it last night.

feeling any better?

*huggles back* I'm not as bad as I was over Christmas, though I'm still sort of house-bound :/ Thanks :)

28DL is absolutely fantastic, yes.

The waking up scene is straight from Day Of The Triffids of course; Murphy's appearance, particularly towards the end seemed explicitly to refer to Macgregor's in Trainspotting (which ought to be no surprise).

After seeing this and Shawn Of The Dead I was firmly of the opinion that the British do zombie films better than the Americans. Of course, this could be a side effect of more shared culture (but even if so they do better zombie films for me).

Ah, yes, of course. I must admit though, I've never watched Trainspotting all the way through. I saw the beginning, and it wasn't appealing to me, despite Ewan McGregor's charms *shrug* Is it any good then?

And ooh, I haven't seen Shawn of the Dead, but I hear it's very funny indeed. Must watch.

I must say, I've never thought much of American zombie movies. Dawn of the dead is awful, isn't it?

It is - but Land of the Dead is good!
