28 Days Later: Blu-ray disc Review, DVD Review (2007)

Released at the height of the SARS epidemic, the movie is a post-apocalyptic zombie nightmare that tapped into a national mood of dread.

It focuses on the very real horrors lurking in new, unknown viruses, and what it mines is something vicious and kinetic. Director Danny Boyle sustains the horror with black comedy, genuine suspense, quick-cut editing and his unpredictable zombies.

A terrific, worthy offspring of Romero’s “Dead” series.

Rated R. Grade: A-
