28 Days Later-His fear began when he woke up alone. His terror began when he realised he wasn't

A man awakes alone in a hospital with no doctors and the only thing he remembers is a bike messenger clipping him and knocking him out. So he leaves the hospital to ask someone why there aren't any doctors or people in the hospital. The only problem is he can't find anyone. Not a single person in all of London, until he walks into a church and the priest and several other people try to kill him. Luckily he is saved by a beautiful woman and her friend and he finds out the horrible truth about what happens and it leads him on an adventure to find safety.

I own this movie and its sequel 28 weeks later (which i will do next) because they are part of my favorite zombie movies collection. It has some pretty great acting and an even better story line, compared to most zombie movies which just shows people trying to survive but don't have any underlying messages about human nature like this, and some great special effects. I enjoyed this movie not only for the gore and violence that I watch most zombie movies for but also because it shows how when faced with a problem or danger we change in order to survive. The two best examples of this is the main character who wakes up in the hospital and how he changes into a good fighter and warrior and the army officer who becomes crazy and develops a almost unbreakable bond with his soldiers. Over all i give this movie 4 out of 5 blood stains( only because the person who becomes the ultimate zombie slayer plot is a little over used now days)
