Wow 28 days, what a awsome movie. Although it seems to be riding the wave of virus/zombie movies that have been coming out in the last few year, its one of the best serious ones ive seen in a while. However 28 days lost some of its seriousness in becoming a low level comedy at some points in the film. If you hire the DVD watch the 2nd alternative ending, its a good laugh how the directors lose the plot.
On the other hand an Aussie movie "undead" takes off all zombie/alien movies and its a good ol' aussie pissa. Its a good watch if you have a few friends over to have a laugh with. And the best part is the hero has a 3 barrel shot gun. The fight scenes with the zombies are great and the town copper has to be the star of the film.
28 days - 4 & 1/2 starz Undead - 4 starz

I enjoyed 28 days later as well. I did a good job of capturing the feel of some of the old school zombie/horror movies of the early 80's. 8)
But you are right they did lose the plot a little along the way. ps. I enjoyed the movie so much i bought it on DVD way back in January. 1 word for you folks before you go off your tree that it is only just available here (Amazon)

Speaking of classic early 80's horror movies. I just saw a preview for a remake of a legendary movie called "Dawn of the Dead". by legend George A. Romero. Crickey i just did a search on the original and it was released in 1978, older than a good percentage of you peoples who post & troll here. (a good percentage not all, i know some of you are old enough to have been born when that was around.)
Anyways they have made a remake of it, it is out in the USA, plus we have trailers for it in OZ so it cant be too long off getting a release here. This has certainly made my day a good one!! :D 8)
It was the directors first movie. I think he realised that he would not pull off a serious horror on his first attempt, so in knowing this, created a movie with slapstick to increase its value.
If you can watch a movie without being critical (ie, have a laugh), then go watch it, its great :D
