The original ending was for Jim to die in the hospital but I do like the ending they went with instead. The movie already has a sense of hopelessness and so giving a more light and hopeful ending was a good contrast and overall more satisfying to me.
There was also an unfilmed ending of Frank being infected and getting a full blood transfusion from Jim killing him in the process but was obviously scrapped for how unrealistic it would be to do.
Yeah I was going to say there was one where there was a total blood transfusion, but since even a drop of blood infected you, it would be pretty hard to completely switch out blood supplies, so they went with something else.

I remember when the DVD came out, in 2003, there was a feature on pandemics, how quickly they could spread in the modern age, and how the next one was only a matter of time. Always watch the extras, folks.
You guys must watch Interview with the Vampire. It's a classic but unfortunately no one has reacted to it I think. It stars an 11 year old Kirsten Dunst, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas as vampires.
Hot take: Kirsten Dunst deserved an Oscar nomination for that performance. It was the best character in the book, and she made it the best character in the film.
I like how you put Kirsten first with her age, this makes it look like the rest of the casts were 11 years old as well since they were all vamp[ires, lol 😉
@Ewan Lyne May not be bad acting, just poor direction. It's the director's job to get the best out of each actor, so if one is being wooden and that's not how they should be, then the director should be the one calling cut and getting it sorted.
@@TimedRevolver Very true ... hence the abysmal performances of very good actors like Natalie Portmann, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the Star Wars Prequels.
I think a big part of the effect of the movie comes from it being shot on video. Nothing in the movie looks glamorous or cool, because the medium simply doesn't permit it.
The idea of waking up in hospital and then walking around to find the world is just.. gone, was more terrifying to me than anything else in this movie.
Such a down to earth British experience in contrast to the Romero films. When the protagonist realises there has been a zombie apocalypse he doesn't get in a helicopter to escape, he walks to his mums house. He doesn't have an automatic rifle to defend himself with, he has a carrier bag with a couple of cans in. He doesn't loot an enormous out of town indoor shopping mall for supplies, he pops to budgens in a taxi. He doesn't end up in an underground nuclear bunker, but a stately home on the outskirts of Manchester.
Walking Dead AND 28 Days Later actually both nicked the whole"waking up in an abandoned hospital after a catastrophic global event" from John Wyndham's novel The Day of The Triffids
The Day of the Triffids a British film from 1962, was the first time I remember a character waking up in an empty hospital, then wandering around a deserted London.
Please react to 1408 it is my favorite horror movie of all time and it’s really overlooked, DO NOT react to the blu ray version as it has an alternate ending that is nowhere near as good. Get the DVD
"Braindead / Dead Alive" (1992) by Peter Jackson is the f* best zombie movie I've ever seen. The special effects are disgustingly good and the amount of gore is just crazy. Also a really great movie to reaction to and watch with someone together, because it's a very funny movie and has a lot of wtf moment right from the start until the end. You won't regret watching that movie!
I would also recommend Fido (2006) if zombie humour is up your alley. It's also a parody of 1950's Americana so if you enjoy the games Fallout or Stubbs the Zombie it's even better.
I remember going to see this movie with my mates, leaving the cinema close to midnight and getting in a black cab to go home. I’d love you guys to watch Return of The Living Dead. It’s a great punk-zombie movie.
I did actually come across a prat the other day who said everything he made after Shallow Grave was shite. That was in the comments section of the Daily Mail though so...
Another great video fellas, you're mine and my wife's favourite film reaction series. Brilliant stuff. All the comments recommending Train To Busan are absolutely right too!
I can't stress how common what happened to Ray Winston's character would be in an 'actual' zombie apocalypse. You'd have to be a complete madman to not wear thick gloves, forearm guards, tall boots, and a good pair of goggles at pretty much all times.
I’m sure we have your years of experience watching conspiracy UA-cam videos to provide expert opinion on this matter. I’d suggest you look at the raw data & experts, but I doubt your comprehension is up to it. Tool.
That part at 14:23 where you see the infected flailing, blindly running is the creepiest part of the movie imo, the music, everything it's so unsettling.
(First of all , totally agree about Hannah, the actress was from Liverpool, but was asked to do London Accent, they should have just kept the Scouse Accent and said her movie was from Liverpool haha ) LOVVED the Reaction!! 28 Days Later, was soo ahead of its time, like the idea that 'zombies' could Run was like WHHHAAT. Though Boyle does say this is not a Zombie Movie (of course these people are not dead but just infected) the inspiration was 100% from Romero's early Work, particularly 'Night of the Living dead' which exposed the racism still residing in America after the Civil Rights Movement through an ending, intentional or not, that showed militarized America's inability to see black people as anything other than monsters. Whereas 28 Days Later isn't concerned with race, but rather the evil, and uncontrolled impulses of men. The Both make a point that the living are just as frightening as the 'dead' when left to their own devices.
28 Days and Weeks later were so refreshing for zombie movies. So brutal and almost hard to watch but it's so intense and they get that humans would be just as dangerous and evil as the zombies in a situation like that.
That whole section at the end when Jim gets back to the house is feckin' insane, with one of the best pieces of soundtrack work I've ever heard. As an aside, iirc, this is one of the first big movies shot entirely on digital. Great movie though. One of my faves in the genre.
if you guys want to tackle some more zombie flicks im a huge fan of Zombie Flesh Eaters, Return of the Living Dead, and The Battery. And of course you have Night/Daw/Day of the Dead too.
You absolutely have to do 28 Weeks Later! It has some of my favorite horror movies scenes of all time. The cinematography, acting, and music is just so well done.
The director Danny Boyle directed a criminally underrated movie in Sunshine IMO! Hope you guys check that out one day if you haven’t seen it. I thought it was a great sci-fi movie, but I may be in the minority! Peace gents!
I love this film so much. I think it is genuinely one of the scariest ones out there while also being smarter and more heartfelt than your average horror movie.
@@kuhpunkt When was the first part filmed? 2002. I guess we don't need to count months anymore. We are closer to the years. But I don't really want to wait until 2030.
The cinema trope..for years was that they (zombie lore) moved sluggishly. Anyone could have easily out paced the usual Zombie. But...this movie, scared me to death...the idea of a hyper active Zombie..almost frantic...added a new dimension to the character. Plus the colorazation and narrative was so on point. You guys ...again..did a nice review...keep up the great job.
In university I wrote a thesis about the final sequence in the mansion. One way the tension is built is through the unique editing. Usually an action sequence of that length has about 150 cuts. This sequence has more than 500 with faster editing the more the tension is building. Some bits have three or more cuts per seconds. What this actually does is messing with your brain immensely. You know how you blink a lot when you're confused? The editing actually mimicks this and confuses your brain. The camera angles support that effect and the music as well. This is really masterful editing. Oscarworthy in my opinion. I haven't seen it done after that movie even though it is so effective.
The music in the tunnel scene is something I've cited as the most suspenseful music in a horror movie ever since I first saw this film back when it was new. Nothing else gets me as much. I hadn't seen the movie in years, but last year I found that music on UA-cam and just listening to it once, I could remember the utter panic of the scene and how I'd felt watching the film. Also budget-wise, I think it made it's budget back tenfold, which is not at all surprising given the quality. It's one of my top 3 horror movies of all time.
What I love about this film and even the second one, is the human element that no one seems to do as well. One of the only other movies that I can think of right now is Train to Busan. I’m sure there’s a few more that I’m not remembering right now, but usually when you watch a “zombie” movie, the main focus is the gore and the scares, which is great if that’s what you want.
In "The Day of the Triffids"(1951), the story opens with the main hero/protagonist waking up in hospital after an operation. During his brief time asleep the world has gone to shit. The waking up in hospital during an apocalypse theme has been a familiar beginning for scifi/horror stories.
He'd suffered an accident that temporally blinded him so that the meteor shower which blinded a huge portion of mankind didn't affect him. The movie was loads of fun, the 80s BBC series was a better adaption of the original story.
The end scene with Jim and the infected soldier, with 'In the House, In a Heartbeat' by John Murphy playing in the background is one of the finest, scary and unnerving scenes ever in a film!
I agree that this movie was a hard watch. It's a bit of a shame that you hadn't been able to watch the classic zombie movie trilogy first - you should definitely watch them in the right order - George A. Romero's original 1968 'Night of the Living Dead' which basically invented the genre, then the sequel 'Dawn of the Dead' (1978) and then 'Day of the Dead' (1985). There are remakes and further sequels of those, but start with the holy trinity and you can't go wrong :)
Agreed. Start with the Romero trilogy and then you can see how the genre progresses. Also recommend the Dawn of the Dead remake by Sydner which is surprisingly good.
Unpopular opinion - I appreciate what they contributed to cinema, but those movies didn't age well. I feel like telling people to START there is just gonna make people not watch zombie movies - you kinda have to already be a fan of the genre to appreciate those films, nowadays.
@@LordofFullmetal I know what you mean, although I would say that on the flipside of that, if someone goes back to watch things in order they can appreciate (or be put off by) the original concepts of the living dead genre and see how that genre gradually formed and evolved, whereas if they watch the recent more elaborate and showy zombie movies, it can then be harder to go back and see what all the fuss is about. If someone in 2022 starts their journey by watching old movies and can't find something in them to appreciate, then it may be that that person either doesn't really enjoy seeing old films, or isn't really a fan of cinema as an artform and is more of a fan of modern entertainment perhaps? I' agree that many younger people now find it hard to go back and watch old movies as today's movies are so polished and sophisticated in their production that old films can seem basic or creaky. I'd hope that by going back and maybe even pushing themselves to try to get used older films they can find there is much still to enjoy, or even some aspects that we've lost in modern movies. It's also possible I might just be an old fart and trying to cling on to the past lol ;)
One of my favorites, for what he achieved at that time with not a huge budget. Music is phenomenal. Great reaction and review as usual! cheers from Argentina :D
want a classic Zombie film, with great effects, music, and plot (that you might have missed) The Return of the Living Dead. Everybody love's Linnea Quigley doing her dance of joy, even if she is call Trash, and looks like Goza from Ghostbusters!
22:05 For reference, the song used in the opening scene of Jim walking around London is a shortened version of "East Hastings" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Highly recommended in its entirety. Love your channel, keep up the great work! Your reaction to "The Shining" was pretty damn sweet too.
My first exposure to this franchise was a comic book anthology that showed 4 stories surrounding the zombie events. The first being with the scientists responsible for the virus, the second a story following a family who are attacked by patient 0 chimp, third being about a guy surviving after most of the initial chaos dies down, and last sorry taking place closer to 28 weeks later. It's a very good comic for anyone interested.
theses arent even zombies to be honest they're the infected, as they've not died and are just rage-fuelled. thats what i actually love too cuz its much more grounded as a result.
You need to watch "Dead Alive" aka "Braindead". It's what made Hollywood producers give Peter Jackson the reign to make the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, so you know it's epic.
I think The Frighteners has more to do with Peter Jackson getting the LOTR job, the ability to work with digital effects in a Hollywood studio system is really important.
@@JDelwynn I agree. Heavenly Creatures is what got him recognized by Hollywood, which led to The Frighteners. And *that* film got him in the door with LOTR. (BTW, I still think Heavenly Creatures is an incredible film, it deserves to be remembered.)
A true classic of the horror genre, this is the film that single-handedly revolutionized the zombie sub genre, and gave us fast moving zombies. I saw this in the theater as a teen, it was the final showing of a Saturday night, just my friend and I in an empty theater, at around midnight…and when I say it was scary in that setting, IT WAS FCKNG SCARY. You must understand, when this came out, we’d never seen fast moving zombies with awareness like this. It’s a unique premise too (the title itself is how long it takes a zombie to starve- a near genius concept and somehow never explored in the genre before this 🤔), brilliantly shot, the screenplay was fantastic, the sparse score and music are INCREDIBLE, lead performances mostly spot on, and it’s use of silence, stillness, and quiet builds fantastic tension. It’s like an art house zombie film, that contains some genuinely tense and dreadful and heartbreaking and frightening moments; it also has another layer, a sub plot within the plot. And it’s one that shows in the end, human beings have the capacity to be just as monstrous as any horror creature that can be imagined. After 20 years, this film still remains one of the gold standards within the zombie sub genre.
This zombie film redefined the genre by doing one simple thing... having zombies that run. It's that simple. And in that comes everything else that makes Danny Boyle a pretty cool director and in case you're wondering, yes he'd finally agreed to start production on 28 months later (according to online news anyway) and then covid hit us... Great review chaps.
Wow dude! 28 Days Later? This is a really good movie. Totally intense. You're going for a wild ride boys. Just like Olivia de Havilland and James Caan in Lady in a cage.👀
Other zombie movies that you will surely enjoy - World war z, Rec, Dawn of the dead, Shaun of the Dead and The return of the living dead. Big hug from Brazil for you guys!
there's also: I am legend, RE franchise (of course, but only 1 and 2 are good, 3 is okay, it's growing a bit more on me - mad max road warrior world and it does have good zombie fight scenes too - along with alice's telekinesis-psychic powers - the crow scene was awesome, but still nothing compared to 1 and 2, and the rest of RE movies are total krap), and (sadly hardly anyone seen this movie) daybreakers (2009) (yes, it's vampires, but they're more like zombies in the movie context) shaun of the dead is like the comedic version of dawn of the dead, and they also happen to have the near-same names/titles, lol :D (shaun of the dead is very brutal like the other zombie movies, though no scary rage virus fast-violent zombies, but it's comedy really tames down its brutality, it's like the "Deadpool" zombie movie, laughs. But, if you've not seen dawn of the dead, you got to see that too, but it's an intense/brutal zombie movie, like: 28 days/weeks later, world war z, and i am legend)
@@colateral8827 Amazing movie, you would love it, very clever story and amazing effects. If you love a good zombie movie you should try to get a copy, best zombie movie of the past 20 years. Have a great day yourself also :)
Technically these “zombies” aren’t really zombies. The people are still very much alive inside. Just full of rage. They don’t eat people to eat em. They rip them apart only.
The concept of "zombies" predates any zombie film, and is not based on people being dead - only people appearing to be dead (normally drugged) in certain cultures but very much still alive. So these are absolutely zombies, just not the traditional movie representation.
@@wyterabitt2149 Technically, its based around the Voodoo rituals to restore life to the recently deceased to do the bidding of the living. That's an actual zombie. However, you are right in that there have been reported incidents of ritual burying of people who have been heavily drugged & made to dig themselves out of their own graves.
I love both of the movies in this series, but these are not “zombie “ movies. The people are infected with a rage virus, but they are still alive, zombies by definition are re-animated dead people.

Naomi Harris came a long way. She was Oscar nominated (and should’ve won in my opinion) for Moonlight in 2017.
Considering she started off in Runaway Bay and is now part of the 007 Franchise
I remember when the DVD came out, in 2003, there was a feature on pandemics, how quickly they could spread in the modern age, and how the next one was only a matter of time. Always watch the extras, folks.
the extras on Children of Men scared me like almost nothing else ever has.
You guys must watch Interview with the Vampire. It's a classic but unfortunately no one has reacted to it I think. It stars an 11 year old Kirsten Dunst, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas as vampires.
Hot take: Kirsten Dunst deserved an Oscar nomination for that performance. It was the best character in the book, and she made it the best character in the film.
The sexual tension between Banderas and Pitt is off the chain
I like how you put Kirsten first with her age, this makes it look like the rest of the casts were 11 years old as well since they were all vamp[ires, lol 😉
Not seen the movie for a very long time but doesn't it also have Ethan Hawke as the interviewer?
@@Threedog43 Antonio was great in the film even as the completely wrong casting choice for the character.
Now, you’ll need to watch Train To Busan after this, lol!
Yes , Train To Busan is best.
Yes please, what a film
I was thinking the same thing! Heck yeah!!
Great film 🍿
Train to Busan is my favourite movie 🥺
The "don't worry, I feel fine" isn't a case of being a bad actress, it was a case of her being stoned out of her mind from the pills.
@Ewan Lyne May not be bad acting, just poor direction. It's the director's job to get the best out of each actor, so if one is being wooden and that's not how they should be, then the director should be the one calling cut and getting it sorted.
@Ewan Lyne She's lived through some major trauma. A blunted affect would be completely normal after that.
@@TimedRevolver Very true ... hence the abysmal performances of very good actors like Natalie Portmann, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the Star Wars Prequels.
@@Jigsaw407 Ewan's performance was great. And Hayden was good when he didn't have to say those goofy ass lines.
No, she put in an all round terrible performance
What made this scarier for me was that out of all zombie films this one felt uncomfortably believable. Scary as hell and a great movie =)
Exactly. The closest thing to zombies we're gonna get is some insane infection like rabies.
I think a big part of the effect of the movie comes from it being shot on video. Nothing in the movie looks glamorous or cool, because the medium simply doesn't permit it.
The idea of waking up in hospital and then walking around to find the world is just.. gone, was more terrifying to me than anything else in this movie.
Favorite Zombie movie "Train to Busan" it is a MASTERPIECE
Average
This movie is far superior.
YES. Train to Busan and World War Z are like top tier zombie movies
@@mpatient133 World war Z is fun, but predictable
They there not zombies
Such bad luck when blood gets in Frank's eye! They went through so much & a damn bird was his death lol
Wasn't even the bird. It was Frank's temper... he got so mad he had to kick the gate and scare it away. The rest was gravity.
The bird and the dead body it was perched on
I've hated crows ever since
Such a down to earth British experience in contrast to the Romero films.
When the protagonist realises there has been a zombie apocalypse he doesn't get in a helicopter to escape, he walks to his mums house. He doesn't have an automatic rifle to defend himself with, he has a carrier bag with a couple of cans in. He doesn't loot an enormous out of town indoor shopping mall for supplies, he pops to budgens in a taxi. He doesn't end up in an underground nuclear bunker, but a stately home on the outskirts of Manchester.
Night of the Living Dead is more comparable to this than Romero's later films.
The part with Jim's parents' house always gets me. 😢
When I saw this movie in the theater, there were THREE other people in attendance. That's when I knew it'd be brilliant.
"Rec" is my favorite zombie movie, since you asked. Great work guys!
I love Rec 1 & 2 but Rec 3 was pure trash
@Dro
Rec 2 is really good, definitely worth a watch 👍
A god tier “zombie” flick
Nah, 7/10
@@voodoochile333 that’s good for you
@@voodoochile333 wrong
This is such a beautifully shot movie. The cinematography, combined with the score makes it so much more than a run of the mill zombie movie.
I heard Danny Boyle wants to do Sharp Teeth, the brilliant book by Toby Barlow. It is a modern day epic poem about werewolves in Los Angeles.
Walking Dead AND 28 Days Later actually both nicked the whole"waking up in an abandoned hospital after a catastrophic global event" from John Wyndham's novel The Day of The Triffids
An excellent novel that has been adapted to film multiple times.
I was going to say the same thing.
Nothing under the sun is new I guess
@@Arms2 Yeah , "Day of the Triffids" got it from the 1817 novel "The Ye Olde Yorkshire Pudding Fiasco".
The Day of the Triffids a British film from 1962, was the first time I remember a character waking up in an empty hospital, then wandering around a deserted London.
Yo, seriously, you guys need to check out a Spanish film, called REC. It's like this, but all in one apartment building.
And it is a found footage style horror, which when done properly is fantastic.
Classic British cinema! I always recall it for starring Christopher Eccleston. Later, he become the 9th Doctor in the new Doctor Who.
Please react to 1408 it is my favorite horror movie of all time and it’s really overlooked, DO NOT react to the blu ray version as it has an alternate ending that is nowhere near as good. Get the DVD
That movie is absolutely terrifying.
"Braindead / Dead Alive" (1992) by Peter Jackson is the f* best zombie movie I've ever seen. The special effects are disgustingly good and the amount of gore is just crazy. Also a really great movie to reaction to and watch with someone together, because it's a very funny movie and has a lot of wtf moment right from the start until the end. You won't regret watching that movie!
I would also recommend Fido (2006) if zombie humour is up your alley. It's also a parody of 1950's Americana so if you enjoy the games Fallout or Stubbs the Zombie it's even better.
I remember going to see this movie with my mates, leaving the cinema close to midnight and getting in a black cab to go home.
I’d love you guys to watch Return of The Living Dead. It’s a great punk-zombie movie.
I like the HELLO banner at the end because it harks back to Cillian Murphy's character walking around London crying out hello.
Say what you will, but Mr Boyle is a damn fine director.
Has anybody said he’s not?
@@brittyn Oh fff It's a saying hon. Get a grip!
I did actually come across a prat the other day who said everything he made after Shallow Grave was shite. That was in the comments section of the Daily Mail though so...
Silver1 wow, rude much?
Rob Fraser so practically his entire career 😂 what a dummy.
Another great video fellas, you're mine and my wife's favourite film reaction series. Brilliant stuff. All the comments recommending Train To Busan are absolutely right too!
I can't stress how common what happened to Ray Winston's character would be in an 'actual' zombie apocalypse. You'd have to be a complete madman to not wear thick gloves, forearm guards, tall boots, and a good pair of goggles at pretty much all times.
Imagine how many would get infected because they believed it to be a conspiracy & refused to protect themselves and others.
Brendan Gleeson ** not Ray Winston.
But yes totally agree w ya on your take
I’m sure we have your years of experience watching conspiracy UA-cam videos to provide expert opinion on this matter. I’d suggest you look at the raw data & experts, but I doubt your comprehension is up to it. Tool.
@K “virus is overblown in 3 days” but still going and millions are dead 🤔 crazy huh
Ray Winston?
That part at 14:23 where you see the infected flailing, blindly running is the creepiest part of the movie imo, the music, everything it's so unsettling.
I cried when the dad was infected/killed in front of his daughter. I saw it in theaters with my dad. 😢
(First of all , totally agree about Hannah, the actress was from Liverpool, but was asked to do London Accent, they should have just kept the Scouse Accent and said her movie was from Liverpool haha ) LOVVED the Reaction!! 28 Days Later, was soo ahead of its time, like the idea that 'zombies' could Run was like WHHHAAT. Though Boyle does say this is not a Zombie Movie (of course these people are not dead but just infected) the inspiration was 100% from Romero's early Work, particularly 'Night of the Living dead' which exposed the racism still residing in America after the Civil Rights Movement through an ending, intentional or not, that showed militarized America's inability to see black people as anything other than monsters. Whereas 28 Days Later isn't concerned with race, but rather the evil, and uncontrolled impulses of men. The Both make a point that the living are just as frightening as the 'dead' when left to their own devices.
28 Days and Weeks later were so refreshing for zombie movies. So brutal and almost hard to watch but it's so intense and they get that humans would be just as dangerous and evil as the zombies in a situation like that.
Zombie Flesh Eaters AKA Zombi 2 (It was written as a sequel to Romero's Day of the Dead)
The makeup effects for 1979 are incredible.
I think Day of the Triffids did the waking up in an abandoned hospital about 40 years earlier than these.
That whole section at the end when Jim gets back to the house is feckin' insane, with one of the best pieces of soundtrack work I've ever heard.
As an aside, iirc, this is one of the first big movies shot entirely on digital.
Great movie though. One of my faves in the genre.
if you guys want to tackle some more zombie flicks im a huge fan of Zombie Flesh Eaters, Return of the Living Dead, and The Battery. And of course you have Night/Daw/Day of the Dead too.
Zombie 79’ is an Italian classic one of the most iconic zombie horrors ever, the score is amazed and the tiger shark vs zombie scene ugh horrorgasm
Christopher Eccleston and Ewan McGregor were in Danny Boyle’s first movie, Shallow Grave! I highly recommend it. Great dark comedy.
oooh, I'd forgotten that one. A great movie!!
"that's not a lion. It's a giraffe. He's completely humourless" favorite line
You absolutely have to do 28 Weeks Later! It has some of my favorite horror movies scenes of all time. The cinematography, acting, and music is just so well done.
The director Danny Boyle directed a criminally underrated movie in Sunshine IMO! Hope you guys check that out one day if you haven’t seen it. I thought it was a great sci-fi movie, but I may be in the minority! Peace gents!
Agreed, Sunshine is a real little gem. One of my absolute favourite space movies.
Sunshine was good until it became some weird crappy slasher that was underwhelming but it had fantastic music that is played everywhere
I loved Sunshine!!
It was a rather silly movie that doesn't hold up it you think about it for a second.
I love this film so much. I think it is genuinely one of the scariest ones out there while also being smarter and more heartfelt than your average horror movie.
Is slowly time for a 28 years later Movie.
Btw epic score in this movie
Months, not years.
@@kuhpunkt
When was the first part filmed? 2002. I guess we don't need to count months anymore. We are closer to the years. But I don't really want to wait until 2030.
@@TomTomson81 Doesn't matter. After days comes weeks, then months :P
@@kuhpunkt Even if I don't count the months, years come after days and weeks nevertheless. 😉
@@TomTomson81 But having a gap would be weird. Why waste the potential for months when you can do years later?
The cinema trope..for years was that they (zombie lore) moved sluggishly. Anyone could have easily out paced the usual Zombie. But...this movie, scared me to death...the idea of a hyper active Zombie..almost frantic...added a new dimension to the character. Plus the colorazation and narrative was so on point. You guys ...again..did a nice review...keep up the great job.
Me, and American, currently obsessed with how you pronounce "later".
In university I wrote a thesis about the final sequence in the mansion. One way the tension is built is through the unique editing. Usually an action sequence of that length has about 150 cuts. This sequence has more than 500 with faster editing the more the tension is building. Some bits have three or more cuts per seconds. What this actually does is messing with your brain immensely. You know how you blink a lot when you're confused? The editing actually mimicks this and confuses your brain. The camera angles support that effect and the music as well. This is really masterful editing. Oscarworthy in my opinion. I haven't seen it done after that movie even though it is so effective.
REC (2007) is easily the best zombie movie, but also the best found footage horror movie. Fantastic watch would 100% would recommend for this channel.
The REC sequel at the wedding is actually REALLY good.
@@SansMerci1013 I even thought REC 2 itself was good.
The music in the tunnel scene is something I've cited as the most suspenseful music in a horror movie ever since I first saw this film back when it was new. Nothing else gets me as much. I hadn't seen the movie in years, but last year I found that music on UA-cam and just listening to it once, I could remember the utter panic of the scene and how I'd felt watching the film.
Also budget-wise, I think it made it's budget back tenfold, which is not at all surprising given the quality. It's one of my top 3 horror movies of all time.
I recommend "Dog Soldiers"
The style of this movie sorta reminds me of it. I think you guys would enjoy it.
Train to Busan is probably my favourite modern zombie movie, but I would love you guys to do a reaction video to the French zombie flick - Horde.
One of the best British zombie movie ever, the sequel has more of a story and characterization but just as good
What I love about this film and even the second one, is the human element that no one seems to do as well. One of the only other movies that I can think of right now is Train to Busan. I’m sure there’s a few more that I’m not remembering right now, but usually when you watch a “zombie” movie, the main focus is the gore and the scares, which is great if that’s what you want.
I love you both and your reactions lol
At the end as the fighter jet flies over you can hear the pilot radio base to send in a helicopter in Finnish. :) "Lähetättekö helikopterin."
In "The Day of the Triffids"(1951), the story opens with the main hero/protagonist waking up in hospital after an operation. During his brief time asleep the world has gone to shit. The waking up in hospital during an apocalypse theme has been a familiar beginning for scifi/horror stories.
He'd suffered an accident that temporally blinded him so that the meteor shower which blinded a huge portion of mankind didn't affect him. The movie was loads of fun, the 80s BBC series was a better adaption of the original story.
Train to busan and 28 weeks later for sure next watch
The opening to this movie was inspired by the book "The Day Of The Triffids".
The music that plays at 15:45 is so iconic
Usian Bolt zombies are terrifying.
Great video lads
Someone has already commented, but please watch Train to Busan, mainly because I want to see at least one of you cry!
The end scene with Jim and the infected soldier, with 'In the House, In a Heartbeat' by John Murphy playing in the background is one of the finest, scary and unnerving scenes ever in a film!
I agree that this movie was a hard watch. It's a bit of a shame that you hadn't been able to watch the classic zombie movie trilogy first - you should definitely watch them in the right order - George A. Romero's original 1968 'Night of the Living Dead' which basically invented the genre, then the sequel 'Dawn of the Dead' (1978) and then 'Day of the Dead' (1985). There are remakes and further sequels of those, but start with the holy trinity and you can't go wrong :)
Agreed. Start with the Romero trilogy and then you can see how the genre progresses. Also recommend the Dawn of the Dead remake by Sydner which is surprisingly good.
Unpopular opinion - I appreciate what they contributed to cinema, but those movies didn't age well. I feel like telling people to START there is just gonna make people not watch zombie movies - you kinda have to already be a fan of the genre to appreciate those films, nowadays.
@@LordofFullmetal I know what you mean, although I would say that on the flipside of that, if someone goes back to watch things in order they can appreciate (or be put off by) the original concepts of the living dead genre and see how that genre gradually formed and evolved, whereas if they watch the recent more elaborate and showy zombie movies, it can then be harder to go back and see what all the fuss is about. If someone in 2022 starts their journey by watching old movies and can't find something in them to appreciate, then it may be that that person either doesn't really enjoy seeing old films, or isn't really a fan of cinema as an artform and is more of a fan of modern entertainment perhaps? I' agree that many younger people now find it hard to go back and watch old movies as today's movies are so polished and sophisticated in their production that old films can seem basic or creaky. I'd hope that by going back and maybe even pushing themselves to try to get used older films they can find there is much still to enjoy, or even some aspects that we've lost in modern movies. It's also possible I might just be an old fart and trying to cling on to the past lol ;)
One of my favorites, for what he achieved at that time with not a huge budget. Music is phenomenal. Great reaction and review as usual! cheers from Argentina :D
want a classic Zombie film, with great effects, music, and plot (that you might have missed) The Return of the Living Dead. Everybody love's Linnea Quigley doing her dance of joy, even if she is call Trash, and looks like Goza from Ghostbusters!
22:05 For reference, the song used in the opening scene of Jim walking around London is a shortened version of "East Hastings" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Highly recommended in its entirety.
Love your channel, keep up the great work! Your reaction to "The Shining" was pretty damn sweet too.
Came to the comments to recommend the song. It was my introduction to Godspeed and post rock in general
Please react to The Lost Boys (1987) & The Howling(1981). They're my favorite 80s vampire movie & werewolf movie respectively.
My first exposure to this franchise was a comic book anthology that showed 4 stories surrounding the zombie events. The first being with the scientists responsible for the virus, the second a story following a family who are attacked by patient 0 chimp, third being about a guy surviving after most of the initial chaos dies down, and last sorry taking place closer to 28 weeks later. It's a very good comic for anyone interested.
Night of The Living Dead in the late 60's was the first zombie movie, and the theme was "men are the real monsters". You guys would probably like it.
There were zombie films back in the 1930s.
Such a great movie, amazing cinematography, and damn that score.
I haven’t watched it in ages, but I’ve seen it many times. Brings back memories.
theses arent even zombies to be honest they're the infected, as they've not died and are just rage-fuelled. thats what i actually love too cuz its much more grounded as a result.
LMFAO! 🤣 Mate when you sank down and covered your face @8:20 when the "infected" were screaming down the tunnel, I...FELL...OVER... LAUGHING!🤣🤣🤣🤣
You need to watch "Dead Alive" aka "Braindead". It's what made Hollywood producers give Peter Jackson the reign to make the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, so you know it's epic.
That would be a fun reaction to see
I think The Frighteners has more to do with Peter Jackson getting the LOTR job, the ability to work with digital effects in a Hollywood studio system is really important.
@@JDelwynn I agree. Heavenly Creatures is what got him recognized by Hollywood, which led to The Frighteners. And *that* film got him in the door with LOTR. (BTW, I still think Heavenly Creatures is an incredible film, it deserves to be remembered.)
A true classic of the horror genre, this is the film that single-handedly revolutionized the zombie sub genre, and gave us fast moving zombies. I saw this in the theater as a teen, it was the final showing of a Saturday night, just my friend and I in an empty theater, at around midnight…and when I say it was scary in that setting, IT WAS FCKNG SCARY. You must understand, when this came out, we’d never seen fast moving zombies with awareness like this. It’s a unique premise too (the title itself is how long it takes a zombie to starve- a near genius concept and somehow never explored in the genre before this 🤔), brilliantly shot, the screenplay was fantastic, the sparse score and music are INCREDIBLE, lead performances mostly spot on, and it’s use of silence, stillness, and quiet builds fantastic tension. It’s like an art house zombie film, that contains some genuinely tense and dreadful and heartbreaking and frightening moments; it also has another layer, a sub plot within the plot. And it’s one that shows in the end, human beings have the capacity to be just as monstrous as any horror creature that can be imagined. After 20 years, this film still remains one of the gold standards within the zombie sub genre.
This is first zombie movie i saw, Fast zombie is my favorite.
This zombie film redefined the genre by doing one simple thing... having zombies that run. It's that simple. And in that comes everything else that makes Danny Boyle a pretty cool director and in case you're wondering, yes he'd finally agreed to start production on 28 months later (according to online news anyway) and then covid hit us... Great review chaps.
Wow dude! 28 Days Later? This is a really good movie. Totally intense. You're going for a wild ride boys. Just like Olivia de Havilland and James Caan in Lady in a cage.👀
After watching so many reactions of you both. I’ve finally made the choice to subscribe! I really do enjoy your videos.
Other zombie movies that you will surely enjoy - World war z, Rec, Dawn of the dead, Shaun of the Dead and The return of the living dead. Big hug from Brazil for you guys!
World War Z is awful IMO.
But Rec and 2004's Dawn of the Dead are both fantastic. Shaun of the Dead is great in a different way.
there's also:
I am legend, RE franchise (of course, but only 1 and 2 are good, 3 is okay, it's growing a bit more on me - mad max road warrior world and it does have good zombie fight scenes too - along with alice's telekinesis-psychic powers - the crow scene was awesome, but still nothing compared to 1 and 2, and the rest of RE movies are total krap), and (sadly hardly anyone seen this movie) daybreakers (2009) (yes, it's vampires, but they're more like zombies in the movie context)
shaun of the dead is like the comedic version of dawn of the dead, and they also happen to have the near-same names/titles, lol :D (shaun of the dead is very brutal like the other zombie movies, though no scary rage virus fast-violent zombies, but it's comedy really tames down its brutality, it's like the "Deadpool" zombie movie, laughs. But, if you've not seen dawn of the dead, you got to see that too, but it's an intense/brutal zombie movie, like: 28 days/weeks later, world war z, and i am legend)
No Train to Busan?

The main theme for this is so sick. And the movie is great too. Looking forward to 28 Weeks Later.
Technically these “zombies” aren’t really zombies. The people are still very much alive inside. Just full of rage. They don’t eat people to eat em. They rip them apart only.
The concept of "zombies" predates any zombie film, and is not based on people being dead - only people appearing to be dead (normally drugged) in certain cultures but very much still alive. So these are absolutely zombies, just not the traditional movie representation.
@@wyterabitt2149 nah
@@Bubba_1776 If only being wrong could be overridden with a nah, I could have done with that being the case plenty times before myself.
@@wyterabitt2149 Technically, its based around the Voodoo rituals to restore life to the recently deceased to do the bidding of the living. That's an actual zombie. However, you are right in that there have been reported incidents of ritual burying of people who have been heavily drugged & made to dig themselves out of their own graves.
Absolutely stunning soundtrack too.
Watched this when it came out, hadn't realised Cillian Murphy was main character till now.
Train to Busan was AMAAAZZZIIIING, but I'm also a massive fan of 28 weeks later because my home town (Wembley) makes a feature ^^
'I Am Legend' with Will Smith is pretty good and the zombies are on another level.
Only with the original ending. The theatrical cut is shit!
I love 28 days later
You’ve gotta do Dawn of the Dead(1978) next!
Love your channel ❤. I still adore this movie 20 years later. I originally saw it in theaters. And it has aged so well.
I love both of the movies in this series, but these are not “zombie “ movies. The people are infected with a rage virus, but they are still alive, zombies by definition are re-animated dead people.
One of the best modern zombie movies and one of my favorites with Shaun of the Dead,Planet Terror,Dawn of the Dead,Warm Bodies,#Alive,I Am Hero,Cargo,Dead Snow and Train to Busan.
