Where has this movie been all your life? Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes from a coma to find himself in a deserted London. That is, except for “the infected” – humans who have been transformed into raging, blood-lusting ghouls. Jim meets up with Selena (Naomie Harris) and together, they fight for hope, understanding, and a desire to prove that, “staying alive is as good as it gets.” Danny Boyle’s 28 DAYS LATER is George Romero’s THE CRAZIES on steroids. This is a beautiful work of design that doubles as a nerve-shredding exercise in gritty horror. With a Goblin-esque score, some post-Y2K paranoia, and the best-ever use of a Grandaddy song, this is the movie that made UK horror cool again. (Joseph A. Ziemba)
