#234. 28 Days Later...
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e4/28_days_later.jpg
Dir: Danny Boyle
Genre: Horror
Year: 2002

I have a soft spot for post-apocalyptic movies. Zombies themselves don't do much for me, but if they can set the foundation for good world-building for life after a cataclysm, then I am all in. And, for me, 28 Days Later does this the best of all the zombie films*.

28 Days Later basically restarted the genre that exploded into what it is today. The game-changer, of course, is that the zombies are no longer the slow, lumbering corpses of the Romero films. They are now fast and aggressive, which--done properly--makes for a much more tense and satisfying film experience. This is just such a great movie for anyone without genre fatigue.

*I have never seen the original Dawn of the Dead or Night of the Living Dead!
