28 Days Later - re-interpretation of the 'Zombie flick' genre, with a similar concept to the 1970s film Rabid and a storyline that will be familiar to George Romero fans. However, as reviewer Kim Newman wrote in Empire, "[t]he power of the film is not that it hasn't been done before, but that it hasn't been done recently." [1] Synopsis Warning: Wikipedia contains spoilers. The opening scene shows pictures of riots and police brutality. As the camera moves, we see that a primate is strapped down in front of television screens showing these images. A group of animal rights activists break into this laboratory, where primates are being held as test subjects; their intent is to liberate them. However, a scientist or laboratory assistant discovers them, and warns them that the primates have been infected.
