In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.
This week we revisit 28 Days Later, a postapocalyptic zombie film directed by Danny Boyle and starring Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris and Christopher Eccleston, about a bicycle courier who awakens from a coma to discover the accidental release of a highly contagious, aggression-inducing virus has caused the breakdown of society.
We talk about our reactions to watching this zombie classic 23 years later, how the movie impacted the zombie genre and whether its innovations to the zombie genre are less impressive now that they have become genre staples, how the movie hits different if you lived through a pandemic in London, how 28 Days Later breaks just about all genre conventions of zombie movies and on balance is a better story for it, and much more.
