28 Days Later (2002) MOVIE REACTION! FIRST TIME WATCHING!! 

This movie did so much to revitalize the zombie genre. The filmmakers literally shot the empty London scenes early in the morning, before it started filling up with folk. The cinematography may not be 35mm format par, but those digital cameras at the time were perfect for this type of rapid filmmaking. The sequel is pretty decent too.

Considering we literally had people injured when buying toilet paper in 2020, this film doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as far as human behavior is concerned.

The church scene was the freakiest. That one zombie just staring with his mouth open. *Chills*

The original ending was for Jim to die in the hospital but I do like the ending they went with instead. The movie already has a sense of hopelessness and so giving a more light and hopeful ending was a good contrast and overall more satisfying to me.

"Cilian Murphy is in it, back before Peaky Blinders when he was younger" Time is irrelevant when it comes to Cilian, dude doesn't age^^

The opening of 28 "Weeks" Later is one of the best openings in history. Hope you guys watch it.

Not gonna lie, the part where he found his parents and the note, that stayed with me for a while after watching this.

I actually had a stroke in winter of 2019 and got out of the hospital to everything being quarantined. Everyone was wearing masks and everything was closed off. It was sort of like what this guy experienced in this movie. Except what happened in my reality is much less dramatic.

One of the best zombie movies EVER. My favorite part is when Jim becomes an absolute savage and a savior. A good man isn't a harmless man, a good man is a dangerous man that can control his aggression and use it for good.

The "don't worry, I feel fine" isn't a case of being a bad actress, it was a case of her being stoned out of her mind from the pills.

The idea of waking up in hospital and then walking around to find the world is just.. gone, was more terrifying to me than anything else in this movie.

Naomi Harris came a long way. She was Oscar nominated (and should’ve won in my opinion) for Moonlight in 2017.

I remember when the DVD came out, in 2003, there was a feature on pandemics, how quickly they could spread in the modern age, and how the next one was only a matter of time. Always watch the extras, folks.

This is my favorite of the “modern” zombie movies!

Now, you’ll need to watch Train To Busan after this, lol!

When I saw this movie in the theater, there were THREE other people in attendance. That's when I knew it'd be brilliant.

What made this scarier for me was that out of all zombie films this one felt uncomfortably believable. Scary as hell and a great movie =)

Such a down to earth British experience in contrast to the Romero films. When the protagonist realises there has been a zombie apocalypse he doesn't get in a helicopter to escape, he walks to his mums house. He doesn't have an automatic rifle to defend himself with, he has a carrier bag with a couple of cans in. He doesn't loot an enormous out of town indoor shopping mall for supplies, he pops to budgens in a taxi. He doesn't end up in an underground nuclear bunker, but a stately home on the outskirts of Manchester.

You guys must watch Interview with the Vampire. It's a classic but unfortunately no one has reacted to it I think. It stars an 11 year old Kirsten Dunst, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas as vampires.

Such bad luck when blood gets in Frank's eye! They went through so much & a damn bird was his death lol

Favorite Zombie movie "Train to Busan" it is a MASTERPIECE

Walking Dead AND 28 Days Later actually both nicked the whole"waking up in an abandoned hospital after a catastrophic global event" from John Wyndham's novel The Day of The Triffids

Yo, seriously, you guys need to check out a Spanish film, called REC. It's like this, but all in one apartment building.

A god tier “zombie” flick

This is such a beautifully shot movie. The cinematography, combined with the score makes it so much more than a run of the mill zombie movie.

The Day of the Triffids a British film from 1962, was the first time I remember a character waking up in an empty hospital, then wandering around a deserted London.

"Rec" is my favorite zombie movie, since you asked. Great work guys!

"that's not a lion. It's a giraffe. He's completely humourless" favorite line

Say what you will, but Mr Boyle is a damn fine director.

I can't stress how common what happened to Ray Winston's character would be in an 'actual' zombie apocalypse. You'd have to be a complete madman to not wear thick gloves, forearm guards, tall boots, and a good pair of goggles at pretty much all times.

Classic British cinema! I always recall it for starring Christopher Eccleston. Later, he become the 9th Doctor in the new Doctor Who.

I cried when the dad was infected/killed in front of his daughter. I saw it in theaters with my dad. 😢

"Braindead / Dead Alive" (1992) by Peter Jackson is the f* best zombie movie I've ever seen. The special effects are disgustingly good and the amount of gore is just crazy. Also a really great movie to reaction to and watch with someone together, because it's a very funny movie and has a lot of wtf moment right from the start until the end. You won't regret watching that movie!

I think Day of the Triffids did the waking up in an abandoned hospital about 40 years earlier than these.

28 Days and Weeks later were so refreshing for zombie movies. So brutal and almost hard to watch but it's so intense and they get that humans would be just as dangerous and evil as the zombies in a situation like that.

Please react to 1408 it is my favorite horror movie of all time and it’s really overlooked, DO NOT react to the blu ray version as it has an alternate ending that is nowhere near as good. Get the DVD

I remember going to see this movie with my mates, leaving the cinema close to midnight and getting in a black cab to go home. I’d love you guys to watch Return of The Living Dead. It’s a great punk-zombie movie.

The director Danny Boyle directed a criminally underrated movie in Sunshine IMO! Hope you guys check that out one day if you haven’t seen it. I thought it was a great sci-fi movie, but I may be in the minority! Peace gents!

Christopher Eccleston and Ewan McGregor were in Danny Boyle’s first movie, Shallow Grave! I highly recommend it. Great dark comedy.

I love this film so much. I think it is genuinely one of the scariest ones out there while also being smarter and more heartfelt than your average horror movie.

Me, and American, currently obsessed with how you pronounce "later".

In "The Day of the Triffids"(1951), the story opens with the main hero/protagonist waking up in hospital after an operation. During his brief time asleep the world has gone to shit. The waking up in hospital during an apocalypse theme has been a familiar beginning for scifi/horror stories.

You absolutely have to do 28 Weeks Later! It has some of my favorite horror movies scenes of all time. The cinematography, acting, and music is just so well done.

After watching so many reactions of you both. I’ve finally made the choice to subscribe! I really do enjoy your videos.

REC (2007) is easily the best zombie movie, but also the best found footage horror movie. Fantastic watch would 100% would recommend for this channel.

One of the best British zombie movie ever, the sequel has more of a story and characterization but just as good

That part at 14:23 where you see the infected flailing, blindly running is the creepiest part of the movie imo, the music, everything it's so unsettling.

That whole section at the end when Jim gets back to the house is feckin' insane, with one of the best pieces of soundtrack work I've ever heard. As an aside, iirc, this is one of the first big movies shot entirely on digital. Great movie though. One of my faves in the genre.

Is slowly time for a 28 years later Movie. Btw epic score in this movie

Someone has already commented, but please watch Train to Busan, mainly because I want to see at least one of you cry!

Zombie Flesh Eaters AKA Zombi 2 (It was written as a sequel to Romero's Day of the Dead) The makeup effects for 1979 are incredible.

One of my favorites, for what he achieved at that time with not a huge budget. Music is phenomenal. Great reaction and review as usual! cheers from Argentina :D

if you guys want to tackle some more zombie flicks im a huge fan of Zombie Flesh Eaters, Return of the Living Dead, and The Battery. And of course you have Night/Daw/Day of the Dead too.

theses arent even zombies to be honest they're the infected, as they've not died and are just rage-fuelled. thats what i actually love too cuz its much more grounded as a result.

At the end as the fighter jet flies over you can hear the pilot radio base to send in a helicopter in Finnish. :) "Lähetättekö helikopterin."

LMFAO! 🤣 Mate when you sank down and covered your face @8:20 when the "infected" were screaming down the tunnel, I...FELL...OVER... LAUGHING!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love you both and your reactions lol

The opening to this movie was inspired by the book "The Day Of The Triffids".

In university I wrote a thesis about the final sequence in the mansion. One way the tension is built is through the unique editing. Usually an action sequence of that length has about 150 cuts. This sequence has more than 500 with faster editing the more the tension is building. Some bits have three or more cuts per seconds. What this actually does is messing with your brain immensely. You know how you blink a lot when you're confused? The editing actually mimicks this and confuses your brain. The camera angles support that effect and the music as well. This is really masterful editing. Oscarworthy in my opinion. I haven't seen it done after that movie even though it is so effective.

Love your channel ❤. I still adore this movie 20 years later. I originally saw it in theaters. And it has aged so well.

want a classic Zombie film, with great effects, music, and plot (that you might have missed) The Return of the Living Dead. Everybody love's Linnea Quigley doing her dance of joy, even if she is call Trash, and looks like Goza from Ghostbusters!

You need to watch "Dead Alive" aka "Braindead". It's what made Hollywood producers give Peter Jackson the reign to make the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, so you know it's epic.

Such a great movie, amazing cinematography, and damn that score. I haven’t watched it in ages, but I’ve seen it many times. Brings back memories.

Fav horror film even if it’s meant to be satirical of zombie films “right, who are you?” killed me lol 💀

I recommend "Dog Soldiers" The style of this movie sorta reminds me of it. I think you guys would enjoy it.

Usian Bolt zombies are terrifying.

What I love about this film and even the second one, is the human element that no one seems to do as well. One of the only other movies that I can think of right now is Train to Busan. I’m sure there’s a few more that I’m not remembering right now, but usually when you watch a “zombie” movie, the main focus is the gore and the scares, which is great if that’s what you want.

this and train to busan are hands down the best! such fantastic pieces of art! keep up the good vibes 🎶🍻 #CinemaRules

Night of The Living Dead in the late 60's was the first zombie movie, and the theme was "men are the real monsters". You guys would probably like it.

Wow dude! 28 Days Later? This is a really good movie. Totally intense. You're going for a wild ride boys. Just like Olivia de Havilland and James Caan in Lady in a cage.👀

I like the HELLO banner at the end because it harks back to Cillian Murphy's character walking around London crying out hello.

The music in the tunnel scene is something I've cited as the most suspenseful music in a horror movie ever since I first saw this film back when it was new. Nothing else gets me as much. I hadn't seen the movie in years, but last year I found that music on RU-vid and just listening to it once, I could remember the utter panic of the scene and how I'd felt watching the film. Also budget-wise, I think it made it's budget back tenfold, which is not at all surprising given the quality. It's one of my top 3 horror movies of all time.

Please react to The Lost Boys (1987) & The Howling(1981). They're my favorite 80s vampire movie & werewolf movie respectively.

Other zombie movies that you will surely enjoy - World war z, Rec, Dawn of the dead, Shaun of the Dead and The return of the living dead. Big hug from Brazil for you guys!

1st lesson from any zombie's movie: people are always worst than zombies, and the army is even worst than regular people.

The cinema trope..for years was that they (zombie lore) moved sluggishly. Anyone could have easily out paced the usual Zombie. But...this movie, scared me to death...the idea of a hyper active Zombie..almost frantic...added a new dimension to the character. Plus the colorazation and narrative was so on point. You guys ...again..did a nice review...keep up the great job.

This is first zombie movie i saw, Fast zombie is my favorite.

I agree that this movie was a hard watch. It's a bit of a shame that you hadn't been able to watch the classic zombie movie trilogy first - you should definitely watch them in the right order - George A. Romero's original 1968 'Night of the Living Dead' which basically invented the genre, then the sequel 'Dawn of the Dead' (1978) and then 'Day of the Dead' (1985). There are remakes and further sequels of those, but start with the holy trinity and you can't go wrong :)

My first exposure to this franchise was a comic book anthology that showed 4 stories surrounding the zombie events. The first being with the scientists responsible for the virus, the second a story following a family who are attacked by patient 0 chimp, third being about a guy surviving after most of the initial chaos dies down, and last sorry taking place closer to 28 weeks later. It's a very good comic for anyone interested.

I watched this movie at around 15 when I was just getting into horror. It had a profound impact on me and still remains as one of my favorite movies. The climax always takes my breath away with the music slowly building and the absolutely brutal violence descending further and further. The scenes walking around empty London were filmed with several cheap digital cameras to get as many shots as possible from multiple angles since they didn't have the budget to shut down the roads for long. Also I remember absolutely hating the sequel so I'm excited to see your reactions!

Technically these “zombies” aren’t really zombies. The people are still very much alive inside. Just full of rage. They don’t eat people to eat em. They rip them apart only.

The original : Dawn of the dead and the original : Day of the dead

This is so British, I love it😂 THE FRIENDS REFERENCE AT THE END😂

The end scene with Jim and the infected soldier, with 'In the House, In a Heartbeat' by John Murphy playing in the background is one of the finest, scary and unnerving scenes ever in a film!

React Dawn of the Dead (1978) 💀🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟🧟🌄🌆 The great Classic of George Romero 🤠👮‍♂️👮🏾‍♂️👩‍💼

'I Am Legend' with Will Smith is pretty good and the zombies are on another level.

LOVE THIS MOVIE!! I was visiting home while this was being filmed! I remember the roads and streets being closed wicked early in the morning!

A true classic of the horror genre, this is the film that single-handedly revolutionized the zombie sub genre, and gave us fast moving zombies. I saw this in the theater as a teen, it was the final showing of a Saturday night, just my friend and I in an empty theater, at around midnight…and when I say it was scary in that setting, IT WAS FCKNG SCARY. You must understand, when this came out, we’d never seen fast moving zombies with awareness like this. It’s a unique premise too (the title itself is how long it takes a zombie to starve- a near genius concept and somehow never explored in the genre before this 🤔), brilliantly shot, the screenplay was fantastic, the sparse score and music are INCREDIBLE, lead performances mostly spot on, and it’s use of silence, stillness, and quiet builds fantastic tension. It’s like an art house zombie film, that contains some genuinely tense and dreadful and heartbreaking and frightening moments; it also has another layer, a sub plot within the plot. And it’s one that shows in the end, human beings have the capacity to be just as monstrous as any horror creature that can be imagined. After 20 years, this film still remains one of the gold standards within the zombie sub genre.

Watched this when it came out, hadn't realised Cillian Murphy was main character till now.

You’ve gotta do Dawn of the Dead(1978) next!

I was not expecting a reaction to this, awesome!!!

Another great video fellas, you're mine and my wife's favourite film reaction series. Brilliant stuff. All the comments recommending Train To Busan are absolutely right too!

I love both of the movies in this series, but these are not “zombie “ movies. The people are infected with a rage virus, but they are still alive, zombies by definition are re-animated dead people.

Great movie, I remember watching it as a kid on my own late at night after getting hold of a VHS copy on a tiny little CRT telly. It gave it a real "found-footage" B-movie type vibe which just amped up the terror so much. It really stuck with me!

22:05 For reference, the song used in the opening scene of Jim walking around London is a shortened version of "East Hastings" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Highly recommended in its entirety. Love your channel, keep up the great work! Your reaction to "The Shining" was pretty damn sweet too.

Yesss, this is one of my favorite horror movies. I was in high school when this came out and was just blown away by it. I'm glad you brought up the music. My brother and I spent a lot of time trying to pirate the soundtrack in the early days of the internet 😄

Oh this is such a brilliant zombie movie! If zombie movies can be brilliant lol, & once again you all are way too adorable with the facial expressions while watching it, best on YT!

I love this movie but I had forgotten how stressful it is to see it for the first time !!

The outro theme bangs. Where's the full version? Type of beat that make me think positive, I love it.

yesss! one of my favorite movies ever. it's the soundtrack and overall feel. loved the reaction!
