67 | ‘28 DAYS LATER’ (2001), FAST (NOT) ZOMBIES, & CILLIAN MURPHY’S RIGHT CHEEK

Frames and Fools: Film, Filmmakers, and Foolishness

It’s been awhile but we couldn’t let spooky season come and go without finding something spooky to watch. Somehow neither of us had seen Danny Boyle’s ‘28 Days Later’ (2007), so we strapped in and watched a movie about deserted city streets, a world gone quiet, and a quickly spreading virus. Yeesh. Luckily, it’s quite a compelling movie, shot very purposely on the same DV video tape we both grew up making movies with in the early 2000’s. The effect is eerie, creating a lo-fi, grungy atmosphere that promises blood and bloodshot eyes around every corner. Somehow the movies still relishes in the joyful, peaceful moments where humans get to enjoy their humanity again…at least until other humans who have seemingly lost theirs threaten that peace. It’s a good one. Happy Halloween, y’all.
