28 Days Later
The days are numbered.
Directed by Danny Boyle
Produced by DNA Films
A visceral, paranoia-soaked survival horror film that uses a viral outbreak to explore human brutality and the collapse of civilization.
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs -- and it's absolutely impossible to contain.
