Storyline
Animal activists invade a laboratory with the intention of releasing chimpanzees that are undergoing experimentation, infected by a virus -a virus that causes rage. The naive activists ignore the pleas of a scientist to keep the cages locked, with disastrous results. Twenty-eight days later, our protagonist, Jim, wakes up from a coma, alone, in an abandoned hospital. He begins to seek out anyone else to find London is deserted, apparently without a living soul. After finding a church, which had become inhabited by zombie like humans intent on his demise, he runs for his life. Selena and Mark rescue him from the horde and bring him up to date on the mass carnage and horror as all of London tore itself apart. This is a tale of survival and ultimately, heroics, with nice subtext about mankind's savage nature.User Reviews
This, I have to say,
was one of the better viral-zombie films I have seen. The plot was
highly un-original, but extremely well made. The acting was powerfully
preformed, the filming having many "diagonally tilted camera view"
scenes, giving off more suspense, without the reliance on the overly
used "scary music". Also, the addition of the alternate ending gave a
strong closing to the film. This is the kind of movie that you end up
feeling physically drained after seeing your first time. It will suck
you in until the end, every time. I seriously recommend seeing this if
you enjoy zombie films, you will not be disappointed.
