I saw it and thought it was good though I dont agree that its original. It's alot like the Omega man, The quiet earth and The Last Man on Earth.

What do you guys think? I may be a bit early on this.

Also had a poor use of Godspeed You Black Emperor!'s Music. They rock

The only thing orginal was its take on zombies, especially their interaction with "non infected".

Classic zombie horror is lumbering dead things that you can pretty much push over if they get in your way. Their strenght is only in numbers. In Danny's version they are fast, very fast. They will run you down like a pack of so many rabid dogs. Thast why I enjoyed it. But even his story had many nods to the "_______ of the dead" films. The shopping spree, the kid zombie, the military base, and so on.

All in all, I enjoyed it. Nice creepy feel to it.

What did you do the underscore?? muhaha

This thread should come back to life as soon as the national release happens. I have a feeling this is gonna be one of those "Love it, or hate it" situations.

we'll it's also like Resident Evil so I dont see that whole infected thing as original.

Yeah, but Resident Evil was one of the Biggest POS ever produced by a studio, and the zombies were still fairly slow. Like I said, his take on their interaction was what did it for me.

Had great moments like when they meet the father and daughter in the apartment with christmas lights and "frosty the snowman" playing and drink mint juleps. very human and sad......

Yeah, this movie was pretty good. I thought it was going to be a lot scarier than it really was, but that's okay.

Tizzy is right. I love the way the infected acted in this movie. They aren't stupid, slow, mindless creatures. They are powerful. That's what made me like it so much.

I loved how whenever an infected was coming towards the group of survivors there would be a quick flash in front of the camera, as if someone was runny by very quickly. That was a cool effect.

Some of the shots were a little blurry and some of them looked like total crap, like the one when the camera was on top of the car and they were driving down that huge road, but most of it was done really well.

Go see this movie if you haven't.

"Don't breathe or I'll kill you!"

anyone know what this movie was shot on?

shot on the Xl1 as far as I know (the camera u guys like so much...not sure about the name

What I've heard is that it was shot on 6 XL1s's.

"Don't breathe or I'll kill you!"

i thought the movie 28 days later was great! but one little problem why do the infected travel in groups, why dont they start killing each other. are they only attracted to the uninfected or somthing.

i am woman hear me roar

incredible movie. you sat there worrying for the characters as the movie went along. it was scary and kept you awake at night thinking about things. great soundtrack as well.

This is what I read from the creativecow forums

Exact setup that Anthony Dod Mantle used for "28 Days Later":
Just to clarify, the setup that DP Anthony Dod Mantle used was the PAL version of the older XL1 (not the newer XL1S), the Optex B4-XL mount adaptor http://www.xl1s.com/b4xl.htm and some CANON EC HD prime lenses in the 6-40mm range and some CANON EJ HD prime lenses in the 50-150mm range.

During some sections of the film, there were as many as eight (8) PAL XL1's shooting at the same time!


I got this info from 28 Days Later Info

Hope it helped!

Absolutely stunning, visually. Story was pretty good, acting was pretty good. Toward the end it got a little too "zombie movie" and lost the "artsy human behavioral study movie" quality, but not enough to make it a bad movie by any means. Overall I think I loved it.

Actually, if anything, what ruined this movie for me is the fact that they re-realeased it with an alternate ending. What Bull****! I aint pay'n no 8 mo bucks to see the movie again because they couldn't get it right the first time.
