#33 28 Days Later

A man-made contagion eradicates humanity and leaves survivors fleeing from a zombie-like infection that turns people into vicious, inhuman madmen. That is the simple but highly effective premise of Danny Boyle’s eerie 2002 shocker 28 Days Later, which gave the zombie subgenre a boost in the arm by not only delivering a critically praised film but also a truly scary experience. Whether you’re a fan of fast zombies, or you prefer the old school Romeroesque slow walking dead, you can’t deny the impact 28 Days Later had on future apocalyptic horror movies.
