28 Days Later (2002)  October 31, 2003 at 7:00 and 10:00pm in 26-100 and November 2, 2003 at 7:00pm in 26-100. "Begins as a great science fiction film and continues as an intriguing
study of human nature." "When '28 Days Later' is not scaring you silly, it invites you to reflect
seriously on the fragility of modern civilization." Celebrate Halloween in style with this unusual and brilliant horror/sci-fi gem of a film. When an experimental virus is set loose by activists who free lab animals from their cages, most of the world's population is locked into a semi-permanent state of rage which inevitably ends in death. What remains is an eerie emptiness perfectly depicted -- familiar remnants of civilization devoid of the life with which they once teemed. Only a few people remain uninfected, and they must find each other to survive. Unfortunately, those who claim to be free of the virus are not all benevolent, and so emerges a new enemy. Scarier than 'Twelve Monkeys,' smarter than most horror films, and with more suprises than 'The Sixth Sense,' this is truly a thoughtful thriller that will deliver far more than you expect. Update: This version of the film features both the original and alternate endings! |
