Those blood-spewing rage zombies would be more up Khorne's alley. Nurgle can get regular rotting zombies from another franchise, and they can duke it out with different zombie armies.

Title: 28 Years Later
Genre: Horror
Director: Danny Boyle
Plot: The third installment in the 28 Days Later Collection.
Could have sworn there was a "28 Months Later" and that this is the fourth movie. I guess there wasn't.
A "28 Hours Later" prequel in the style of "24" could be really good. 28 episodes, "real time format", shows us the chaos of the initial Event.

That would be an interesting premise. We know what happens, but we never see the true lead up to the absolute chaos. I like the idea.

It's 28 weeks later that was the sequel. Not as good as the first but still entertaining. It's only three films in the franchise but apparently there's a fourth one that was directed in tandem, so I guess we'll get to see that here soon. I am excited to see this though.

It is pretty funny how similar the beginning of 28 Days Later and The Walking Dead are. Never really thought about it til now.

This movie is a massive pile of shit. I cannot believe the same people (Boyle & Garland) that made 28 Days also made this.
It is a 5/10 going into the last act. The movie is a stream of weird montages and nonsensical dream sequences. Serious amateur stuff that film students might try, thinking they are elevating their pile of rubbish. The whole movie is played out like a teenager that is too cool for school. It is embarrassed by it's own premise, trying to not take itself too serious, but without ever going for any laughs.
Then the last 2 minutes happen and it goes right over the edge. It jumps 10 sharks. It goes full fuckin retard.
Fuck this movie. It is an embarrassing 3/10.

This movie weighed heavily on me. Growing up in the 80s, I wasn't scared of slashers or Freddy (I grew up in a community of hunters and a house with so.many.guns.) but what did scare me what the slow-moving apocalypse of the original "Dawn of the Dead". Zombies were an inexorable, inescapable, unnegotiable tide of doom that swept away all hope and life; a great metaphor for nuclear war (and other things, if you asked Romero). Cut to 2004 and Snyder's remake and it was hard to escape it, particularly with the unpopularity of the Iraq war floating around.
I was swimming a lot at the time, late evenings in giant empty pool areas, the sounds of the gym above my head. It messed with me.
Garland, like many in Hollywood, seems to have diminished in his ability over time. Not that he's bad but not what he was or what you would expect from him.
Lots of folks I follow complaining the movie was substantially different from the first trailer and then issues with the film and the ending.
