[film] 28 days later

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

went to the cinema to see "28 days later" on saturday.

its like a cross between "night of the living dead", stephen king's "the stand", "lord of the flies" and 60s tv show "the prisoner"... very cool, and quite a head-f**k
:von:

in short, its rather f**king good! it manages to be claustrophobic, oppressing, dramatic, very very dark, and slightly comedic all at the same time. watching the main character's feelings of isolation and utter incomprehension at what has happened turn to hopelessness, anger, and then to thoughts of revenge as the film progresses is incredible.

its a fantastic idea for a film, and is very well executed.

me like! :smile:



note: try and see it when there's not many other people a the cinema. or get it on dvd when it comes out... the impact is much better when you dont have a bunch of kids shagging on the back row... :roll:

The ending really spoiled it for me, I was enjoying it up until that point. Even the alternative ending on the DVD was pants.

The title sounds familiar. I rented a DVD a year ago with that title (if I'm not completly lost here). A UK film. All people were dead except for one guy.

I have to add that it was a Suterday evning. I could have been a bit drunk.

Not a bad film at all.

Mr Eccleston playing himself as usual. He's a virtual Pete Postlethwaite isn't he? :lol:

Except that he will now appear as the next Doctor Who with popstarlet Billy as his side-kick. :urff: Why Richard E. Grant didn't get the job I still don't understand. Not that I will be watching it anyway of course - i've got BBC4 now. :wink:

Sounds like it has an 'Invaision Of The Body Snatchers' original screenplay or remake ending, no?

@christophe vampires from outer space kinda sums it up
@CP I think that was the point, make a Hammer style movie in the aftermath of Star Wars etc.

Sorry, Red, I was talking about 28 Days Later (which I still maintain is poo). I've never seen Lifeforce.
