28 Days Later Review

Review of 28 Days Later (2002) by screenqueeen: 👎 2/5

i rewatched this months before writing this review and still think so little of it that i never logged it, don't remember what exact day it was so this diary entry is an approximation. poor Cillian Murphy gives a pretty good performance in the middle of a project that unfortunately has aged into the blueprint from which other pretentious funky moldy cheeses that take the form of zombie movies (don't even fucking start with me) just replicates lazily, lifting the argument Boyle raises for their own. but Boyle's thing here is that there isn't much to say or do past the whole "man is the real monster" thing, which was just as lazy a cop-out in 2002 as it is now, and maybe even right after KING KONG with other titles trying to capture lightning in a bottle from that sensation. and if you're wondering, this cheese does not get better as it warms up to room temperature.
