Reviewer Rating Review
Usman Ashraf95 - One of the best zombie movies I've ever seen (even though it really isn't a zombie film). If you are a fan of the post-apocalyptic genre, this is absolutely a must see!
Dan O'Neill95 - Maybe, just maybe, I’m in the minority with this one but 28 Days Later is one of my favorite horror films of all-time. The world that Boyle paints is as devastating and frightening as it gets; the characters are more well-rounded and developed than the script actually gives them credit for; the scares and chills get to you by the utter feel of realism that shoots-out in every frame of this picture; and the message about who we are as humans and what we’ll do to live-on in life is as heartbreaking and brutally honest as it can get. Definitely go out there and see it, not just to be scared, but also to be a bit enlightened as well.

MaddWolf Hope90 - The vision, the writing, and the performances all help him transcend genre trappings without abandoning the genre.

Jester Smiles85 - A terrific zombie romp. While nothing spectacular pops out, it's still a really good zombie romp.

Paul B80 - Overall an effective non-zombie take on the zombie genre. I just wish the last 15 minutes wasn't there.

Bryan Lienesch59 - It's ironic that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's infected humans are adrenaline-packed, raging monsters, because they are cast amidst a rather slow-moving world, and in a movie that never really takes off.
