Eventually, you get tired of watching movie after movie where directors phone it in and give us a George Romero impersonation. If you\u2019re hungrier than a zombie to sink your teeth into something fresh, then you really need to stream <em>28 Days Later<\/em> on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The premise of <em>28 Days Later<\/em> is built into its title: namely, that the film takes place in Great Britain 28 days after a zombie outbreak has run rampant. Our main character is a former bike courier who wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world filled with flesh-eating monsters. Now, he must stay alive in a world where a single bite or scratch can sentence him to a fate worse than death, but it turns out that the zombies might not be the most dangerous thing roaming this horrific new world.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>28 Days Later<\/em> has a scary good cast, including Naomie Harris (best known for <em>Moonlight<\/em> and <em>Skyfall<\/em>) as a resourceful woman trying to help our main character survive. Brendan Gleeson (best known for <em>In Bruges<\/em> and <em>The Banshees of Inisherin<\/em>) plays a cabbie-turned-daddy with a heart of gold.

Murphy is pitch-perfect as an audience surrogate character, and seeing this undead dystopia through his eyes makes every new heartbreak that much more vivid. Notably, Murphy gets to demonstrate a wonderful range throughout the film, and this film alone was enough to make him into a household name thanks to his powerful performance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/8dOw57IwuRIQquNoFu3XBQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/67bf95a6cd01bd2da164cbaeaabb4b5b\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/opinion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rotten Tomatoes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, <em>28 Days Later<\/em> didn\u2019t shambled its way to a hair-raising 87 percent rating. Critics generally praised the movie for being a double-threat, functioning as both a keen political allegory and one of the scariest horror movies ever made. They also heaped rightful praise on director Danny Boyle, someone whose innovative use of digital video took a spooky genre long thought dead and managed to raise it back to life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The success of <em>28 Days Later<\/em> led to the movie unexpectedly becoming a franchise, with <em>28 Weeks Later<\/em> coming out in 2007.
