Thicker than water

28 Days Later

(2002)

You forget how quiet so much of this is--how idyllic, how beautiful--when the infected aren't chasing people trying to eat them. I'm not sure I ever realized before how much that quiet contributes to this being not only my favorite zombie movie ever but one of my favorite films of the past decade, full stop. And if anything, I liked it more on this, my fourth or fifth screening, than ever before. Brilliant, in both the British and the American sense.
