Should I buy 28 Days Later?

Been thinking of pre-ordering 28 Days Later and was just wondering, having not seen it, what anyone thinks of the film and is it worth buying?

Cheers

The beginning is great, but it goes downhill from there. I didn`t like it. Go watch some Romero classics.



Ok, you people! Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we`re not back by dawn... call the president.

I agree with Jeff, I liked it too...but many appeared not too keen.

Also agree with Richard too about the Romero advice.

I thought that it was a great movie at the cinema, but it will look alot better on the small screen because of it`s technical limitations. I have just seen a clip for the dvd release on a video that I rented last night and some of the deleted scenes look really promising. My only real regret about this film is that it really could of benefitted from having a larger budget so that the apocalypse format could of been develped further. If you`re a Romero fan like I am then I think you won`t regret purchasing the dvd as it`s got plenty of extras as well.

It scared me silly. I was getting completely sent up for how much it affected me.

It was just one of those films that pushed all the right buttons for me, and I spent most of the film hiding under my jacket. Never want to see it again ;-)

That said I thought it was quite well made...

I suppose it depends on your age. I`m 33 & thought it was watchable but I wouldnt add it to my collection. My advice is rent it 1st, then by the time you decide to buy it, it will probably be £6.99 @ Play !!

But my rating would only be 5/10

If you like Matrix style films, buy Equilibrium instead
