28 Days Later Critique

1. 28 Days Later was released in 2002 and directed by Danny Boyle. A man wakes up in a hospital after being in a coma for 28 days. He walks around London which seems to have been deserted for quite some time now. Then encounters a crazy person covered in blood with fire red eyes. The chase begins and the man runs threw an abandoned gas station until he meets up with two other survivors named Selena and Mark who save him. The man with no name then explains who is and it is reveled that his name is Jim. The three of them go to Jim's house to see if his parents are still alive. They aren't. Then they get attacked by zombies and Mark gets infected. So they have to kill him and move on until they meet up with a man named Frank and his daughter Anna who have fortified themselves in threw apartment complex. They decide that they must travel together to find food and water and a new shelter. Eventually Frank gets infected by one of the zombies and he is shot by marines who have come to rescue them. They are then taken to a mansion in the country side. Anna becomes depressed and Selena and Jim try to comfort her and they end up becoming a family. Then the marines try to kill Jim and rape the girls. Jim ends up killing all of them with the help of the zombies and saves Selena and Anna. Then they escape and get to a cottage in the country side and wait for the zombies to starve to death.

2. Jim starts not knowing what is going on but by the end becomes a leader for the other survivors.

Selena at first is only concerned about herself and doesn't care about the other survivors because she thinks there going to die. But by the end she loves Anna and Jim.

Anna starts off as more of a childish character but after her father dies she grows up more.

Frank is a father figure to the entire group and its heart breaking when he dies because he is keeping everyone together.

3. The director evokes horror into the film by making it seem like no one is going to survive because the zombies are crazy and they run really fast and vomit blood every where. The film is more disturbing than it is scary.

4. I wouldn't change any thing because this movie is fantastic.
