Danny Boyle must have been on acid like Stone on Natural Born Killers. It was like Fury Road, Natural Born Killers, About a Boy, Trainspotting and Fangoria Magazine with giant zombie dicks everywhere. Five minutes in and I knew I am watching it again, soon.

I have never felt so physically uncomfortable watching a movie in my life so I could understand how people wouldn't like it but those people are weak. I walked out after pumping my fist like Judd Nelson in the end of Breakfast Club. I am giddy now.

Such a bizarre zombie aftermath world he built compared to Walking Dead. Every image evoked more depth to it. It was so desolate and depressing but by the end its hopeful somehow. Makes me happy there are so many creative awesome humans in the world that can make me feel that roller coaster with pictures an sounds. The world is in a good place.
Nothing has topped 28 Days for me as it was so perfectly executed and inspired numerous other post-apocalyptic properties with its rage zombies.

But I did like this and it sufficiently appetized me for another two installments in that universe.

I loved the weirdness. Even down to Taylor-Johnson's nutty dialogue. It's like everyone in the UK that's survived has gone a little bit mad.

It's not what the mainstream crowd signed up for and they may hate it but I don't care. It was a trip, and a riveting one at that.

The third act made me think of the end of Hereditary.

And next movie Cillian Murphy's character returns! Excited for January.
