28 Days Later (2003)

Setting: London to Manchester England; roughly contemporary

Danny Boyle directed zombie-type movie was surprise hit. Good, but not great as some have claimed. This genera has its limitations but is usually good for some action, a little character development, and perhaps some social commentary. Reminded me a bit of Wells’s original ‘War of the Worlds’, both with decimated/ abandoned English setting, and the story sequence with the solders reverting to tribalism.
