Default Re: More zombie action: 28 Weeks Later

The thing most people overlook about 28 Days Later is that even though it has zombies in it, the zombies aren't the main focus.

The film was more about surviving in a civilization that has collapsed and gone mad. And also, they have to run from zombies.

The first time I watched it, I was really put off by the final act with the military outpost. But upon watching it again recently, I've decided I like it. It shows how far their society has really collapsed. The main characters get to somewhere they are supposed to feel safe, but these soldiers try to hungrily devour (sexually this time) the women folk and have objectors killed.

Not safe from zombies, not safe from people in a zombie filled world.

I thought it was a nice departure from how most zombie movies go which DH already summed up.
