28 Days Later

I'm going to stop just shy of saying this is an important film. I mean, for heaven's sake, it's a zombie film done by Danny Boyle. BUT, it is important in terms of what horror is (which is utterly different than frightening) and because for a mass release film, it's absolutely an art film in every way and stunning for it. It really made me stop and think about what film is capable of, and even made me wonder the wisdom of that.

I loved it, and I think you should all go see it, but I'm pretty tough, and I feel like I am never ever going to be okay again. Everyone I saw it with was shaking for a good hour after we came out of the theater -- not from the gore, or the stuff that pops out at you and makes you scream, but for the sheer visceral honesty of the world the film presents us with.

( the end is extremely fucking nigh )

This is a daring, horrifying movie. Please go see it.
