Product Description
Hailed as the most frightening film since The Exorcist acclaimed Director Danny Boyle's visionary take on zombie horror "isn't just scary it's absolutely terrifying" (Access Hollywood).An infirmary patient awakens from a coma to an empty room in a vacant hospital in a deserted city. A powerful virus which locks victims into a permanent state of murderous rage has transformed the world around him into a seemingly desolate wasteland. Now a handful of survivors must fight to stay alive unaware that the worst is yet to come System Requirements:Running Time: 113 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: HORROR/ZOMBIES Rating: R UPC: 024543468172 Manufacturer No: 2246817

The director/producer team that created Trainspotting turn their dynamic cinematic imaginations to the classic science fiction scenario of the last people on Earth. Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma to find London deserted--until he runs into a mob of crazed plague victims. He gradually finds other still-human survivors (including Naomie Harris), with whom he heads off across the abandoned countryside to find the source of a radio broadcast that promises salvation. 28 Days Later is basically an updated version of The Omega Man and other post-apocalyptic visions; but while the movie may lack originality, it makes up for it in vivid details and creepy paranoid atmosphere. 28 Days Later's portrait of how people behave in extreme circumstances--written by novelist Alex Garland (The Beach)--will haunt you afterward. Also featuring Brendan Gleeson (The General, Gangs of New York) and Christopher Eccleston (Shallow Grave, The Others). --Bret Fetzer

Lousy Picture Explained, but What about the Lousy Sound? July 2, 2008
Michael Cooper (New York City)
Most of the other reviews on this Blu-ray release discuss and explain why the picture quality is considerably less than what we expect from high definition. I'll go along with that.
More annoying to me are the constant extremes in the sound track. There are any number of hushed conversations that I can't even hear, so I don't know what they're saying. Then a door will close and it's frighteningly loud, way beyond any half-way realistic sound mixing.
I was obliged to ride the volume control constantly, upping it to try (sometimes in vain) to hear the dialogue, downing it frantically when the sound would suddenly screech off the screen at me. I found this really obnoxious and amateurish in effect. The video may have been originally stylized such that hi def adds nothing to the experience, but there's no excuse for the wild mismatching of the sound effects, music and dialogue.
I like the movie very much though, and I'm looking forward now to watching 28 Weeks Later in Blu-ray, particularly after reading other reviews here that mention how good the sequel looks in hi def. I'm hoping the sound will be better, too.
 Excellent movie June 16, 2008
D. Puch (MIA)
If you like zombie movies then this is a must have in your movie collection. I like all things Blu-ray so I chose to replace my DVD version with this one for the HD look.
False advertising at its finest. April 4, 2008
J. Howard (San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA)
I love HD. And I love horror movies that are not a total splatter fest. The two of them together is a win/win for me. I don't want to see guts and limbs ripped and tossed like so much bloody paper. As a movie this delivers wonderfully. A movie with a lot to tell that does it well. If I was reviewing the DVD it would get a 5 star in my book as an intelligent thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
This beings me to the image quality. All over the package it talks about how AMAZING High Definition is "Beyond High Definition" right on the front. On the back "1080p HD Resolution provides dazzling unparalleled picture quality", and "Blu-ray Disc technology takes you beyond high definition for the Ultimate Home Theatre Experience!"
[...]
I understand that this movie was not shot with $500K HD cameras and there is a stylized picture to the movie, but come on Sony and Fox! Most consumers just can't tell what is HD and what's not these days. I have a BD made by discovery about the space shuttle. There is a warning on the back that says that some of the footage is NOT IN HD, I am happy with that because I know what I am buying. It is clear and right there to read on the back.
Bottom Line: I love this movie. It is rare to find a good horror/thriller that does not so much on gore and more on story. But as a consumer I feel burned, because I could have purchased the DVD for about the same image quality and saved $[...].
What did I expect? March 20, 2008
Natalie V. Galasso (Newark, New JERSEY. United States of America)
I had not seen the trailer. My boyfriend had seen the advertisement and wanted to goto the movies to see it, really bad. I was dying to see him.. So I went. The movie itself, had made me laugh due to many reasons... It wasn't scary like I had expected. But ... seeing the name of this movie... brings back good memories of someone I hold very dear to my heart.
The guy in jail's voice reminded me of leprechaun. When they bit people or fed I laughed hysterically.. it looked so funny to me... and this call they had for eachother.. made me dye laughing too...
At least the movie made me happy..
