28 Years Later - Wikipedia

In 2002, during the initial outbreak of the Rage Virus,[a] a young boy named Jimmy Crystal flees his house in the Scottish Highlands as his family are attacked by the infected. He takes refuge in the local church with his father, a minister, but finds him praying in ecstasy, since he interprets the virus as a harbinger of the end times and the Day of Judgement. Jimmy's father bequeaths him a cross necklace and helps him to safety before submitting to the infected as they break in.

WTF.... I'm not unhappy i watched this film, but I am confused about what i just watched.

The decision to intermix period films, dream sequences, reality, and delusions throughout the entire runtime was a STRONG editorial choice. It got to the point where I didn't really trust anything I was watching.

I get the impression this is the VIBE screen writing version of world war z (the book).

Overall, I would consider this a art house experimental film kung foo hustle meets kill bill set in a pseudo medieval setting. I would recommend watching it, just for the slow motion train wreck.

As far as a zombie or survivor film goes it doesn't have much to say, spends lots of time not saying it, and just kinda fills time.

The biggest weakness is they tried to do too many things at a very shallow depth, they would have been much better off picking one theme and exploring it to make a film worth watching.
