28 Days Later
A man wakes up in a hospital to find the world he knew abandoned. After a few hours he discovers that he not alone at all. Most people are dead, but some are infected with a disease that makes them crazed lunatics, and with zombielike qualities. There a few survivors here and there, and they search for a place to be safe. This movie reflects a lot on how a person evolves (or regresses, depending on your view) when faced with a bleak postapocalyptic life. It's kina like a modern British Day of the Dead. It wasn't really a shoot up mthe zombie kind of flick, and more of a thinking man's kind of movie. It was well written with a few moments that catch you off-gaurd and make you jump. 4 out of 5.
