But 28 DAYS LATER is even more frightening for what human beings end up doing to one another."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "While the virus metaphor is obviously timely, the characters' seeming capacity to forget these nasty changes in themselves by film's end may be the film's most unsettling point."   Nitrate Online   Cynthia Fuchs B "Gory, unsettling and downright suspenseful, this tour de force from the director of "Trainspotting" has moments of brilliance, but it’s just not scary enough."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 4/4 "28 Days Later isn't just one of the most effective movies of the year, but also one of the most unsettling and disturbing films of its genre: a true reminder of what being scared is all about."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 1.5/4 "The scariest thing about Danny Boyle's film is the surprisingly large percentage of people seemingly infected by its cheap and shoddy plagiarism."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth C "Its power lies in how topical is its message."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Holds a handful of chilling scenes and unforgettable images, but its cumulative effect is one of disappointment and missed opportunities."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman "Todo contribuye a crear una atmósfera de pesadilla que tiene poco que ver con vísceras arrancadas y litros de sangre y mucho más con la generación de climas."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio A "The film is endlessly suspenseful, but it is more than thrilling; it's satisfying and whole."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "I wanted to sit back and watch a good doomsday movie, but got a little less than I bargained for: a good doomsday movie that looks like crap."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "...Grippingly grotesque...Boyle’s surly and hellish sideshow is profoundly intoxicating in its tangy ugly creepiness. 28 Days Later is ruefully soulful in its scruffy flamboyance"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C- "Relentlessly grim and gruesome, it does what it sets out to do; the problem is that apparently what it wants isn't so much to give us a pleasant scare as to disgust us."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek A- "t could be accused of uneven-ness but, rather, I think the disparate sections speak to its broad, complex and multilayered assessment of modern life. It's far-reaching without ever becoming muddled or unfocused."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3/4 "A movie that kept me involved from start to finish."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "For all its effective visual horror, 28 Days Later sticks in your gut because of what it ultimately says about humanity."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "We have all fantasized at some point about how it would like be if we were the only person left on earth one day . . ."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 4/5 "Trainspotting director Danny Boyle's digital-video zombie flick turns old cliches into grim, shiny new horrors."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "a wild cocktail of campy, gory fun"   Perihelion Journal   Jay Antani 9/10 "Posits the question: who's more dangerous, the flesh-eating zombies or 'civilized' people?"   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Horror fans take note: Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later is the real deal."   Slant Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 2/4 "Apparently the legacy of the Blair Witch phenomenon is the belief in filmmakers that visuals aren't important and incoherency is scarier than anything viewers can actually comprehend."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 4/10 "I'm still not exactly sure why so many critics are raving this film up but the words 'scary as hell' were the last ones on my mind when I walked out of my screening."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "While being remarkably gory and occasionally gross, 28 Days Later is also remarkably rational and knowing..."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "What I appreciated most about "28 Days Later" were Boyle and Garfield’s desire to make it something more than just a run of the mill horror film."   Light Views   John Larsen 8/10 "These aren't your daddy's zombies, who ordinarily stagger around like old people at the mall."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2.5/4 "'EN la segunda parte, la cinta pierde el impacto inicial y comienza a diluirse en una serie de diálogos y situaciones hasta cierto punto absurdas y fuera de lugar, cayendo en el típico cliché hollywoodense'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 5/5 "This movie will still be on my mind 28 days later."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2.5/5 "Not all that scary, but George Romero would love it."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "In Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, a gypsy tells Jonathan Harker that "the dead travel fast." When you see HOW fast the zombies are in this film, you'll believe it."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3.5/4 "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a major release this ballsy and unpredictable."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B "It is Dod Mantle's visuals and Boyle's direction that are "28 Days Later's" greatest asset."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/5 "This unrelenting horror tale's paranoid genius lies in equating free-floating wrath and physical sickness."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "A film of mood, atmosphere, and ideas."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 7/10 "Inventive and disturbing."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3/4 "Like an independent B-movie horror flick, but with more polish and less edge"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "[H]umanistic and unsentimental, like some lost science fiction flick from the 70s that’s just been rediscovered."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4.5/5 "A crafty reworking of familiar themes for a new generation."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "This is an effective examination of what survival really entails – and it knows that the answers aren’t necessarily pleasant."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "Nightmarish quick cuts and digital video give the look of the movie a gritty, hallucinatory immediacy."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 4/5 "Em um mundo ameaçado por guerras, epidemias e bandidos cada vez mais cruéis, Extermínio funciona não só como terror, mas também como triste alegoria de nossa realidade."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3.5/4 "'Shooting on a limited budget and with small digital-video cameras, Boyle manages to create a film that looks pretty enormous in scope.'"   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "An unsettling, creepy experience, complete with very strange sound editing and eerie musical choices that accent the offbeat post-apocalyptic imagery remarkably."   Film Threat   Rich Cline 3.5/5 "This gruesome plotting combines with the gritty visual style to make the film an unsettling, creepy experience, complete with very strange sound editing and eerie musical choices that accent the offbeat post-apocalyptic imagery remarkably."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2/5 "Every bit as much a reactionary, establishmentarian work as the horror movies of fifty years ago."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "The film itself seems to exist in a state of perpetual imbalance... between life and death, the real and the surreal, civilization and chaos."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick A- "Boyle transcends the geek show because he treats his characters with compassion and thoughtfulness."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "A horror genre film far better than most movies of its type."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten  (1 - 50) of 58 OFCS Rating: 84% Fresh Page   12   > Next
