Every generation gets the zombies it deserves, and in an age of free-floating fury and fear of uncontainable new diseases, the walking not-quite-dead are infected with a rapidly transmitted blood disorder that turns victims into homicidal horrors. It begins in a primate research lab, where guerilla animal-activists intend to rescue the simian victims of sadistic scientists. But the apes aren't grateful: They erupt from their cages in a blur of slashing fangs and gore. Twenty-eight days later, bike messenger Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakes from a coma in an empty, vandalized hospital. The London streets are eerily deserted, old newspaper headlines scream "Evacuation!", and everywhere the evidence of panic and desperation litters the pavements. When Jim finds life, it's a nest of the infected camped out in an otherwise abandoned church; only the timely intervention of healthy survivors Selena (Naomie Harris) and Mark (Noah Huntley) saves him. The rules of the grim new world are simple: Arm yourself, avoid the infected and don't think about the future. Selena and Jim later join forces with genial taxi driver Frank (Brendan Gleeson) and his teenage daughter, Hannah (Megan Burns), who've been hiding out in their high-rise apartment building since the chaos started. Lured by a staticky radio transmission loop that promises shelter and a cure for infection, they load Frank's cab with scavenged supplies and begin a perilous trek north towards Manchester. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by novelist Alex Garland (The Beach), this unrelenting horror tale's paranoid genius lies in equating free-floating wrath and physical sickness; the infected aren't literally dead, but their frenzied rage has burned away every human impulse and left only rampaging flesh.
