There are a fair few alternative endings available including a non-filmed yet highly speculated “radical alternative ending” which suggests to me that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland may have been fairly unsure of what direction the film should be going in. As I have already pointed out, it finished with some action and excitement at best, I guess the opening just blew me away and I wanted 113 minutes of this feeling. Alex Garland of course provided the script - Danny Boyle obviously enjoyed working as a team after adapting Garland’s first novel to the big screen (The Beach). I have to say I am very impressed with Danny Boyle as a director. Trainspotting put him on the map and Slumdog Millionaire provided a cabinet full of Oscars; he is also from my neck of the woods in Manchester, England. I am certainly a fan, I just wish he would focus more on horror as he seems to shine here with 28 Days Later.
Well, 28 Days Later certainly puts Britain back on the vintage horror map and the support across the world has always been positive. 28 Weeks Later was directed by the Spanish newcomer Juan Carlos Fresnadillo who to be honest didn’t have the most impressive track record before hand, but he managed to work the second film well and keep a similar running theme. 28 Months Later will no doubt work around our zombie friends heading into mainland Europe, thanks to the pesky carrier in 28 Weeks Later. I do think that this franchise will not be complete until it is placed in a trilogy, can’t really see a fourth addition down the line? 28 Years Later… doesn’t quite have the same ring to it does it? Romero’s Dead series started decaying after the third installment and so hopefully we stick with three. Summary: Could have been the definitive horror movie, but lacks the cutting edge finale. REC took 28 Days Later and The Blair Witch Project, fused them and pulled a mighty hybrid out of the bag! REC managed to go one better than 28 Days Later as it never lost touch and just got better and better as we moved onwards, leaving us all extremely excited about REC 2. John Murphy deserves enormous praise for the outstanding score, Danny Boyle deserves the same praise for the amazing direction and what about these Raged zombies? These would certainly take some beating. 28 Days Later provided atmosphere, jumps, pace and memorable acting scenes (noting Cillian Murphy)! Science fiction and horror worked again to a treat and fans have the sequel and can look forward to 28 Months Later in the next few years. More horror please Mr Boyle.
