• Quotes

  With its "shuttered" editing for the zombies' attacks, the film delivers enough shocks and gore to please undiscriminating auds. But they're hooked to a screenplay which has no idea how to develop its characters in interesting ways and doesn't provide enough background to involve the viewer at any level beyond the superficial. — Variety

  But then I'm never satisfied. "28 Days Later" is a tough, smart, ingenious movie that leads its characters into situations where everything depends on their (and our) understanding of human nature. — Roger Ebert
