First off, I'm a big time horror film fan, probably the biggest in this forum. .
And a zombie film fanatic as well...
Personally I believe the original Dawn of the Dead is the greatest zombie film of all time, (Train to Busan is also one of the greatest , especially if youre korean, youll get the social commentary, god damn what a beautiful film )especially with its dark filming , allegories and symbolism..
That being said, I encounter so many people who claim 28 days later to be the greatest zombie film of all time (let's set aside the debate of whether they were true zombies ).
When I first watched this film I was incredibly underwhelmed ...
I thought I missed something ...so I watched it again. ( and of course, I watch all horror films at night ). Again, I wasn't wowed like so many .
It's similar to Spider-Man 2, so many consider this to be one of the greatest comic book films ever...i disagree.
Tell me what I'm missing, why do you consider 28 days later to be one of the best of its genre .
All opinions welcome.
Came out before the Zombie theme got totally over played. So while there were a few classics out there it was still pretty original. But now Zombies have been done so much they boring.
It also had Hawkeye!I agree with those that are saying 28 Weeks later was a better movie
See here is why I don’t understand people’s opinions. Another silly Korean movie gets praise. Just like The Host and Snowpiercer, which both sucked. Busan was better, but again with the silly buffoonery and overacting. 28 days later had the scariest monsters, they ran and were vicious AF. The setting was cool, as was the cast. It was a slow burn, but in an apocalyptic environment, that’s how it would be. I thought it was great. And I don’t hate foreign horror...love Rec and Ringu.
I thought it was good for about an hour and then kind of went to shit after that, like every Danny Boyle film I've seen.
The Beyond is prob my favourite ever zombie flick
C'mon now, Mike. It's right up there.
Gritty, Hopeless, Amazingly brutal effects(probably the best effects in Zombie film history). I think Bub is the first time we get a zombie that isn't just a walking slab of rotting flesh.

I didn't like Day of the Dead, but Cpt Rhodes is one of the most badass heels in movie history
I hate, hate, hate, the idea of talking zombies. It's stupid and it always makes the movie feel comedic, whether that's the intention or not.
They went overboard with the grimdark bullshit with pretty much the entire military side being cartoon caricatures of real people.
The main chick is in a relationship with that dude according to the story, but she doesn't act like it at all. He dies and she basically.gives zero fucks. She's also a super bland lead with zero charisma. Who gives a fuck if she dies. I kept hoping she would, that everyone in the movie would die even the protagonists.
The action scenes suck and are gory purely for the sake of gore because.there aren't any interesting ideas going on.
That's just off the top of my head. I really hate that movie. Easily the worst of the Romero trilogy
Zombies are hella fast. Cilian is dead ass. Story is pretty good.First off, I'm a big time horror film fan, probably the biggest in this forum. .

I'm more offended you think Spiderman 2 is overrated..........
Anyway, I think the thing with 28 days later is that it breathed new life into the zombie genre, and was something slightly original/unique.
As I recall, it changed the portrayal of zombies from lumbering oafs into something more relatable, realistic and terrifying, in the terrifying form of them being able to run at you full pelt - they basically had the physical capabilities of humans - could run fast, agile etc - but had a brain eating bloodlust, and therefore were a scarier, bigger threat than classic zombies.
It was revelatory, I guess
