Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs -- and it's absolutely impossible to contain.

Notes

Story Synopsis:
An outbreak of a mysterious rage virus results in a homicidal rampage in the streets of London after some undereducated animal rights activists free an infected chimpanzee from captivity in a lab. Waking from a coma 28 Days Later, Jim walks the deserted streets unaware of what had happened. When he finds a few survivors in a seemingly abandoned church, he learns of the horror that has overcome the city. They must fight against infection by rage-ravaged citizens lurking in the shadows, and hope beyond all hope that the epidemic has not spread to other countries. (Suzanne Hodges)

DVD Picture:
The DV-originated images on this anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD are accurately transferred, with all the anomalies that are expected from a video source. The picture is mostly dim, but the frightening opening sequence exhibits good shadow delineation. There are hard edges, limited fine details, blown-out windows, and halos around objects. Colors are generally undefined with limited delineation, almost appearing to be blocks of color. Aliasing and stairstepping artifacts are also noted. While there are some scenes that actually look quite pleasing, the picture is really nothing to show off to your friends regarding visual presentation. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1 soundtrack can be downright dynamic and explosive at times. The recording quality is quite good but not to the level of the true state-of-the-art productions. Overall volume level is somewhat substantial, and there is high-end sparkle in the sonic character. The use of dynamic range for this soundtrack is certainly commendable. The dimensional soundstage can range between an eerie, subtle layer of ambience and powerful engagement of all channels including the LFE. Dialogue sounds reasonably natural and exhibits respectable spatial integration. (Perry Sun)
