Zombie Movies

[Munkay]

28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later were both terrible. The zombies, which were the entire point to watching the movie, were entirely unconvincing. The people they used for the zombies weren't very zombie-like - even though they're supposedly alive and just infected with a virus, they ran like normal people and, in general, looked like normal people. Aside from blood, dirt, and whatnot, the only noticeable difference were the fact that they were wearing red contact lenses. Spooky, huh?

That, and there were plot holes large enough to run an Amtrak line through in both movies, especially in 28 Weeks Later.

To each his own. It was streching the genre a bit. And personally I enjoyed the attempt at a more 'believable' zombie movie, with some of the usual campy-ness away.

As far as the plot, you're right. There's some problems with it. But for all its seriousness, it is a zombie movie. How much of a plot do you expect?:P

Cheers,
