We'll never look at zombies the same way again.
Riffing on John Wyndham’s 1951 horror novel Day of the Triffids and blending pandemic paranoia with Romero-lore was Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s 28 Days Later. Until the early aughts, the stereotypical ghouls residing in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead series had distinguishing characteristics, familiar to anyone with an acquaintance with the horror genre.
What Is '28 Days Later' About? In 28 Days Later, bike-courier Jim wakes up from a coma to a world of horror. A virus has ravaged the UK, reducing most of the population to rage-filled husks and decimating London. The shell-shocked young man wanders the deserted streets of London until he stumbles into a church, with a number of infected congregating, until Jim disturbs them. A number of infected chase him until he is rescued by hardened survivors Selena and Mark .
Unlike the majority of Romero’s oeuvre or other zombie-related media, Jim and Selena are in constant transit — they don’t wait in a single location for zombies to eventually overwhelm and devour them. Jim and Selena are smart enough to not remain in the same space for long. They do the most logical thing: survive and run — a rare occurrence in many horror movies.
The zombie genre enjoyed a surge in popularity following the release of 28 Days Later, with Rec, Dawn of the Dead, Planet Terror, and sequel 28 Weeks Later all featuring variations of the running zombie. Romero would return to the universe he created with a direct sequel Land of the Dead, a found-footage prequel, Diary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead.
