Danny Boyle got a lot of stick for his adaptation of Alex Garland's The Beach, and while a lot of it should have been aimed at the studio for their casting rather than Boyle, it was understandable why fans, as well as Garland and Boyle himself, were not happy. So how do you put it right? By hooking up with Garland directly this time, stripping out the unnecessary and making one of the finest British horror movies of modern times. 28 Days Later follows George A Romero's great tradition of zombie movies on a budget. Creative, brilliantly shot, well acted, superbly written, genuinely thrilling and strangely plausible.
