help 28 Days Later FAQ
Are the infected in 28 Days Later zombies?
The film's infected are living people carrying the Rage virus, not reanimated corpses. That distinction is part of why Danny Boyle's 2002 film feels faster and more immediate than many traditional zombie movies.
Who does Cillian Murphy play in 28 Days Later?
Cillian Murphy plays Jim, a bicycle courier who wakes from a coma in a deserted London hospital. His empty-city scenes became some of the film's most recognizable images.
What sequel follows 28 Days Later?
28 Weeks Later followed in 2007 and shifted the story to the attempted NATO-led repopulation of Britain. The sequel has a different central cast, though it stays in the same Rage virus outbreak setting.
Why does 28 Days Later look so raw compared with other horror films?
Danny Boyle and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle shot much of the film using digital video, which gave it a rough, immediate texture. That choice helped the deserted London and outbreak scenes feel closer to news footage than polished studio horror.
