28 Days Later (2002) - 4/10
This kicks off with Cillian Murphy waking up alone in bed, confused, dehydrated, surrounded by mess and wondering, "Where am I?", "What the hell happened?" and, most importantly, "Where the fuck are my clothes?" So in that sense, it's the most relatable opening to a movie ever. We've all been there. We know that feeling. The real horror of the moment isn't that there might be rage-infected sprinting maniacs wanting to eat your face, it's that you can't find your phone. If you're lucky, it's nearby - on the floor perhaps - without charge. If you're not, it isn't. Unfortunately, this film has aged terribly. Watching it nowadays feels like trying to stream a zombie apocalypse through a potato. It may have been considered a low-budget masterpiece in 2002 but in 2025 it looks like it was filmed on a Nokia N90 whilst it resided in a smudged full-of-beer pint glass. Much of it is so blurry that you'll starting wondering, do I need to reboot my router? Or am I just having a stroke? By the end, my retinas and my visual cortex were plotting, together, a formal complaint. Stick with the sequel; it's much better.
