00:00Opening this movie with what could very easily be the start of the zombie apocalypse and then
00:09revealing that no, it's just our normal world sans rage virus. Thankfully it's not like real,
00:14real footage. It's early to get all philosophy wins, but like, isn't this just what we all
00:19voluntarily do now? Watch uncut, unending footage of all the worst things imaginable
00:23happening around the world? We're going and we're taking your torture victims with us.
00:28And it's an interesting move to have the very people who are trying to stop animals
00:31from being tortured end up being the initial cause of a bunch of human death.
00:35The animals are contagious! The infection is in their blood and saliva!
00:39Love how they get the zombie rules out of the way and set up the world so quickly.
00:42I'm sorry!
00:45He immediately knows what's up, which makes you wonder why he allowed this whatever this experiment
00:50is to happen. But we get it, sometimes you gotta clockwork orange some chimps.
00:53And yeah, if you're going from screaming in pain to raging out in under 20 seconds,
00:59the world is cooked. Or at least England. And come on, a time jump card becomes the title?
01:05Beautiful. Full MMC manhood in less than six minutes has to be some kind of record.
01:09I know that we know it's 28 days later, but we're given so much visual exposition here,
01:13and you probably don't even notice most of it. He's naked, so whatever happened happened fast,
01:17no one had time to dress him in a gown. They had just enough time to lock him in and slip a key under
01:20the door in case he woke up. And his head has been shaved, presumably for surgery,
01:24but he's got at least a few weeks of growth back, and ironically it gave him the flyest haircut we've
01:28ever seen. Seriously, people were rocking this cut because of this movie.
01:31Okay, so it might be right about now that you're saying to yourself,
01:33self, let me talk to Lee. And then you start saying to me,
01:36so what's the deal, broseph? Couldn't afford the HD version of Danny Boyle's masterpiece?
01:40And dear viewer, I'm with you. I said the same thing to myself and then to me.
01:44Because I couldn't believe it. It does not match my memory of this movie,
01:47but apparently this is it. It was shot in 480p on a potato.
01:50Well, not a potato at the time, a Canon XL1, although $500 wasn't exactly professional
01:54grade anyway. The Canon XL1 has a real resolution of 512x492 and a virtual resolution of 750x492.
02:02The image is just very low resolution, high contrast and sharp into hell,
02:05so there are halos around everything. Wait, where have I heard that?
02:09Oh right, it's from this No Film School article from three years ago,
02:11who took that exact line from this Reddit post from four years ago.
02:14Anyway, it's grainy, it works for the vibe, even the Fox logo seems to suffer,
02:18and that's the last we'll speak of it.
02:20Same, brother, same. I don't think I've had more than five Pepsis in the last five years,
02:25but oh boy, you know how good that felt. See? The score starts so quietly,
02:30you probably didn't even notice when it came in precisely,
02:32but it adds to the eerie atmosphere as it slowly builds.
02:35Cillian Murphy is always a win, why be coy about it? The dude owns this scene,
02:39and at no time do I ever consider that Danny Boyle and his daughter were off-camera holding
02:42traffic back. I'm fully immersed in gyms of loneliness and empty London.
02:50And the silence works so well here because our brains know that making a street look empty is
02:54possible, but you can't stop a city from making all sound, so it's unnerving and feels wrong.
02:59Fun fact, or maybe let's just say fact, they almost didn't get this shot in here because 9-11 happened
03:04during filming, but they were lucky enough to shoot this scene before. The bus on its side is just a little
03:08too terroristy for London's comfort. And I'm not going to talk about my favorite piece of music
03:17to come out of a movie ever yet, but the vibes are there. It's such a good jump scare because
03:26it's so much louder than everything else and that's exactly how it would feel after walking
03:29through a city of silence. And as Godspeed You, Black Emperor, finally starts going nuts with the
03:39finale, we can feel that it's starting to settle in on Jim, that he really is alone and something bad
03:43happened. Walls of contact info for trying to find missing people are a very real thing in mass
03:47casualty events. They base theirs on one from an earthquake in China. Dang it, that feels so British.
03:52Even this written expletive graffiti is somehow drinking tea. Ah, so that's where they all went.
03:57The implication that they'd started dumping them in here. Jim went from the Rapture must have happened
04:01to Heaven's Gate guy must have come to the UK. Hello? Oh, that they were just in there and then
04:08the stairs. Introducing us to the way these rage zombies move with the vicar is pretty inspired.
04:14Priests are supposed to be who you tell your worst secrets to, but instead he wants to bite your face.
04:17Also, Toby Sedgwick, the priest, helped develop the movement of the zombies. Oh, shouldn't have done that.
04:22And the Catholicism is strong in this, boy. Goodness, the debates this sparked. Fast? Zombies?
04:29First, Return of the Living Dead had zombies running in 85 and second, they aren't even zombies.
04:33They never die. But is this still a zombie movie? You bet your sweet bippy.
04:38The sound design for the zombie screams is so absolutely over the top. Listening to Danny Boyle
04:43talk about this 25 second explosion is great because he knew he wanted a full Hollywood level fireball,
04:48so they went all out. I like to think this is a litmus test for if you're rage infected, but really
05:03Mark is just a weirdo, which checks out. They always survive. Well, I mean, for a bit.
05:07And then I wake up today in hospital. I wake up and I'm hallucinating or I'm...
05:13Everything that builds up to this moment is part of what I love so much about this movie.
05:16We see the very start of the outbreak and then we cut to Jim's Jimmy Riddler and we're with him
05:20as everything starts going bananas. So at no point do I question why he's so confused.
05:25It was a virus. Infection.
05:27Even as Selena dumps some exposition on us, we're still learning things through the visuals,
05:31like that processed food, soda, and candy is most of what would last 28 days after fresh food
05:35delivery stopped. And they've clearly been living in this little space for a while.
05:38You're the first uninfected person we've seen in six days.
05:41And a quick little reminder to us that even though it seems like they've been doing this for a long time,
05:45and a month in zombie time would feel like years, but still, it's only been 28 days.
05:50It would be pretty brutal for the smell to hit you before the visual.
05:52I don't ever really want to joke about suicide, but I 100% get this decision in this situation.
05:57Imagine being able to make your final words to your son so poetic and beautiful.
06:01But Alex Garland wrote it, so that's a cheat.
06:03And Don't Wake Up goes really hard and lands home why they did what they did.
06:07I looked down and I was standing on all these people, like a carpet.
06:12And Mark describes the alternative. It's so believable, which is what makes it even more
06:16depressing and harrowing. And Danny never frames these shot-reverse shots in any normal way,
06:20making it all the more engaging. Is it still a jump scare if you literally see it coming?
06:24Why yes, yes it is. The sound alone made you pee a little. Not me, you.
06:28It's been a good 25 minutes since there's been any blood, almost easy to forget what this movie is.
06:33And this quick shot of Mark trying to wipe something off screen, a little hint that he's cooked.
06:37Of all the things I remember about this movie, my brother-in-law telling me about this scene
06:40before I saw the movie is the main thing. But for some reason I got it in my head that
06:45she was cutting his arm off to save him. I was incorrect. It's a perfect illustration of both
06:50the speed of the virus, the resiliency it takes to survive, and the state of mind Selena is in.
06:54She's warning Jim about blood getting in his mouth while spraying infected blood everywhere,
06:59not the actions of someone wholly concerned with their life.
07:01And I think it's easy for us to get on board with zombies getting machete to pieces,
07:04but seeing a guy who hasn't turned yet get hacked up is super brutal.
07:08Also, it's just totally bananas that Mark gave us this long speech to die five minutes later.
07:12Total shock to me still.
07:15Then get them and get dressed. We have to leave now.
07:19Jim's complete astonishment at how fast she acted and how unperturbed she seems really sells it as well.
07:24I didn't know he was infected, okay? He knew. I could see in his face.
07:27Great line and honestly super believable. We all think we're way better at hiding
07:31our emotions than we are. Look, if someone gets infected,
07:33you've got between 10 and 20 seconds to kill them.
07:36We knew it was quick, but dang, 10 seconds is nothing. This shot of Killian's beautiful,
07:41beautiful eye is 16 seconds. And just so you know where you stand,
07:44if it happens to you, I'll do it in a heartbeat.
07:46In a what now? In a what now? There are no zombies in Wall-E,
07:50but I can't believe I didn't notice this direct reference the first time I saw Wall-E.
07:54I knew something felt familiar.
07:59Also, such a genius alert system and deterrent, since shopping carts are the loudest things on
08:03planet Earth outside tornado sirens, and while they're not impossible to climb,
08:07it's not an instinctual climb, if you know what I mean. You have to think about where you step,
08:10or it just doesn't work.
08:11Got a headache.
08:12Well, why didn't you say something before?
08:14Well, because I didn't think they'd give a .
08:16It's a fair assessment of Selina, but what he fails to grasp yet is that while she doesn't
08:20necessarily care about Jim, keeping him alive is just good strategy, because being alone is way
08:24worse. Almost like mutual aid doesn't have to be some altruistic endeavor, but it's actually
08:28beneficial to me to make sure those around me are well off. Some kind of lesson in there,
08:32but I refuse to engage with it beyond applying it to two people in a zombie apocalypse.
08:37The fear in his voice is haunting.
08:39So, I'm Frank anyway.
08:42There are a number of people I'd be happy to stumble upon in the apocalypse, but a giant
08:46teddy bear-looking Brendan Gleeson? Top of the list.
08:49And I mean, even after seeing him go full grizzly bear on The Infected.
08:52Come on, sweetheart. Say hello.
08:54Kind of weird to hear Gleeson with a British accent. Originally, Jim was going to be English as
08:57well, but Boyle let him be his Irish self last minute because he felt it helped the character
09:01seem like even more of an outsider. Reminds me of this, Jim.
09:03Both are British. No, I'm Irish. Yeah, I'm British. No, no, no. Oh, sorry. Sorry. The area of North Europe.
09:11No, I'm British. No, no, no, I'm Irish. So this is your place? It's nice.
09:18And it works out for Jim because I think he just wanted people he could be congenial with again.
09:22Most horrific moment of the film?
09:26Right, because if they slowed you down...
09:28I'd leave them behind.
09:30In a heartbeat.
09:31Yeah.
09:31What kind of beat?
09:32It hasn't rained in 10 days.
09:34My LA friends are laughing at that being a long time. My Las Vegas friends are quietly sobbing.
09:37And that stuff about the answer to infection, I mean, there is no answer to infection.
09:42Selena may be an aggressive pragmatist, but she's 100% correct.
09:45You need us just the same as we need you. We need each other.
09:50Hannah gets it. Community. John Murphy's rendition of Ave Maria really sells it.
09:54Just so you know, I don't take checks or credit cards.
09:57Like, really? Joking Papa Bear Gleeson? What more could you ask for?
10:01I'm sorry, but he's an upgrade from your dead parents.
10:03See, this is a really s*** idea.
10:04You know why? Because it's really obviously a s*** idea.
10:08Even the first time through, I knew Jim was right. I think we all knew Jim was right.
10:11Some of the most disturbing screams came out of the infected in this film.
10:17Peak stress, and changing a tire is stressful enough.
10:19I can't imagine trying to line up the wheel studs with the holes in the tire while the car is wobbling
10:23in the air. It's hard enough when it's stationary on a jack. Trying to find the right height and
10:26spin and angle, yeah, I'd be dead. And just drive on the rim. You can throw the spare on after the
10:31nightmare tunnel. The way that front zombie stops has always felt very human to me, since it's just
10:35the human actor. But having zombies realize they can't catch the car is fascinating. Feels like a cognitive leap.
10:41Classic zombie trope of full unfettered access to the goods. Fortunately,
10:47they don't go full consumer, and they do move on. I credit the underrated band Grandaddy.
10:51Mmm, irradiated.
10:54Frank's a Homer Simpson fan.
10:5616-year-old, tart before flavor. Warmer, not aggressive.
11:01Two Irish lads discussing Free Scotch's peak apocalypse joy. Even if this is the second time
11:07Lagavulin 16 has come up in my videos. It was Lionel's drink of choice in Glass Onion.
11:10Still a bit campfire-y for me, but I drink pretty much whatever Frank recommended to me.
11:14Thankfully, Boyle didn't go full Trainspotting for this scene. You know he wanted to.
11:20Although he did choose to have the first rage zombie that we hear speak clearly be a kid.
11:24Which might seem like a nothing revelation, but the idea that their brains are still
11:28somewhat functional is a big difference to most zombie movies.
11:31You don't often get shots like these in the apocalypse.
11:34Or... these?
11:36I was wrong when I said that staying alive is as good as it gets.
11:40Like I said about Mark, who wasn't long for this movie, everyone feels so real.
11:43I believe that turning off your desire for anything beyond survival might actually help
11:46you survive in the beginning. You'll never get pulled down by sentiment,
11:49but Selina figures out that there's more by watching Frank and Hannah, and ultimately,
11:53after a certain point, surviving to just survive wouldn't be worth it anymore.
11:57Sorry.
12:01It's okay. You can keep it.
12:04The Riz.
12:05Hey, Selina.
12:07What is it?
12:10Where'd you get to sleep?
12:11Haha, so funny. She was well within her rights to plant that machete between his eyes,
12:15and I wouldn't have blamed her.
12:16Oh, great. Valium.
12:18No.
12:19I can't sleep.
12:20Come on, Frank. Let her live a little.
12:24Give her half of one.
12:25Again, the guy who made Trainspotting is clearly holding himself back here.
12:28It says a lot that Jim's nightmares aren't about zombies, but are about being left alone again.
12:34Thanks, Dad.
12:35Oof.
12:36Jim is spending the entire movie looking for a dad,
12:38and the truth is that he needs to become one.
12:40Not literally, but emotionally, spiritually, narratively.
12:43Salvation is here. The answer to infection.
12:48That's clearly the doctor's voice, Christopher Eccleson, or who you most likely know him as,
12:52Destro, or Major West in this one,
12:54which makes sense to tie the continuity all together,
12:56but I also love that he'd be arrogant enough to think he was the only one who could record the
13:00message. We all agreed in a recent video that this is a top 10 human experience.
13:03Amazing choice to only show their reactions and just hint at what they're seeing until we tilt
13:07up to Manchester.
13:08I don't like this. I think we should go.
13:10Go!
13:12You know where this is headed because you've seen the movie,
13:14and you probably want to change it just like I do, but it's so clear that Frank's only concern is
13:18Hannah and he knew there was no future for just the two of them back in London.
13:21It's the UK's newest sensation, The Dodgy Punters.
13:24Right? This is their album cover.
13:26I hate every single thing about this except this amazing camera angle from inside the blood droplet,
13:31but it's like top 10 most bummed I've ever been watching a movie. Sophie's choice.
13:35Jim's choice.
13:37Sorry I lost my temper. Hannah, I love you very much.
13:43God, I love this man. He knows it's over, and he again shows us what his only concern is.
13:47Remember how Peter Parker got dusted the slowest, and the theory was that he was just so strong it
13:51took extra time to get him? Same goes for Frank. He loves so hard the rage had a harder time getting
13:56in. Brandon Gleeson has a menacing frame and would be a very formidable foe. It's why the racists
14:00in the top hat had to stab him in the back to win. And it's brutal, but I'm thankful that it all
14:04happened so fast. Less than a minute from blood and eye to dead. There's also this sense that they
14:08were just so close to salvation, but the truth is that they probably weren't going to keep Frank
14:12around for very long anyway. There are probably other signs, but this would be the first thing
14:16that would make me suspicious. Not exactly a well-disciplined crew. Yeah, girl, same. Killian?
14:22Yucky yuckers. Killian Murphy? No, thank you. The answer to infection.
14:29Well, as I said before, it's here, though it may not be quite what you imagined.
14:34So sort of a roomie the cure for pain is in the pain kind of thing. Meet Mailer.
14:39You think Mailer being chained up is a direct influence on the ending of Shaun of the Dead,
14:42especially given this line. The virus was caused by rage-infected monkeys,
14:47have now been dismissed as bo-
14:48And eventually, he'll tell me how long the infected take to starve to death.
14:52It's not a terrible idea. Yeah, West sucks, and this seems cruel, but considering we saw
14:57Selina hack up someone who hadn't technically turned yet, cruelty is kind of fluid at this point.
15:02There is almost a Colonel Kurtz vibe here, but with a stiff upper lip.
15:05Which is much what I saw in the four weeks before infection, and the four weeks before that,
15:09and before that, as far back as I care to remember, people killing people.
15:13And the fact that West can't see the difference between war and the infection
15:16should pretty much tell our heroes everything.
15:18I want to bury my dad. He's one of the people you're talking about.
15:22I love West's little nod to acknowledge that Hannah is right.
15:25Floodlights sound so bright, but when you are completely surrounded by darkness,
15:28they never do as much as you'd hope. But this is such a great horde-stuffed sequence
15:31for showing us how competent they are as soldiers,
15:34which plays into the idea that they'd already be getting bored with just surviving.
15:37I mean, not totally bored.
15:38You know, he bounced!
15:40Huh? Because you got me to protect you now.
15:44What sucks about this is that it feels predictable in the movie because it's predictable in real life.
15:48And in no way am I excusing this sentient skidmark in a woolly-polly,
15:51but him feeling emboldened right after combat while his adrenaline is pumping checks out.
15:55I love the subtle subtext here that Farrell is the outsider within the soldiers
16:02and clearly isn't on board with what West has planned.
16:07Also, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it hint that West has a plan and the rapey boys are moving too fast.
16:11I moved us from the blockade, I set the radio broadcasting, and I promised them women.
16:17Because women mean a future.
16:18I'm a big fan of how fast Jim walks away and makes the decision to leave.
16:22Not saying that playing along wouldn't have been smarter, but I still love it.
16:25You can be with us, but I can't let them go.
16:29Christopher Eccleston is so amazing in this role.
16:31It's a common zombie theme that The Walking Dead aren't actually the zombies,
16:34and the grossest part of this film isn't the blood vomit.
16:36But West sells the idea that his hands are tied.
16:39He just doesn't have a choice, which is obviously nonsense, but you believe him.
16:42It's also the moment that Jim finally lets go of his last father figure in this film.
16:45Just think about it.
16:48How could infection cross the oceans?
16:50And Farrell isn't just a softy, or like a decent human.
16:54He's also a critical thinker.
16:56They quarantined us.
16:58It's always fun when the guy who sounds crazy is 100% correct.
17:00I swear to God it's cleared badly for you.
17:03Clairvoyance.
17:04Sorry, what do you want to say?
17:06Jim even tricked me again.
17:07It's amazing that something as simple as that would absolutely give Jim the hope
17:10and burst of adrenaline to do what needs doing.
17:12And this confirmation that Farrell was right is actually a fantastic twist,
17:16especially when this little section of humanity has turned Farrell like this.
17:19I adore how this storm is only teased with the thunder as Jim goes over the wall,
17:23and then suggested by the water on the windows.
17:25Maybe it's just me, but the buildup of this scene is one of my favorite moments in all of film.
17:30Pick out a wise selection.
17:32Yes, sir.
17:33I don't know, man.
17:34I fully believe the apocalypse could cook a human brain, but smiling about it,
17:38reveling in their misery?
17:40That these kinds of people exist might be reason enough to take Ruskull's advice and walk off into
17:44oblivion, which was kind of Farrell's point at dinner.
17:46So if the infection wipes us all out, that is a return to normality.
17:51I haven't killed any-
17:51Since it began, who have you killed?
17:53You wouldn't be alive now if you hadn't killed somebody.
17:55A kill.
17:57A kill a boy.
18:00A child.
18:01And furthermore, it's this scene that reveals how West got them to this point.
18:06But you had to.
18:08Otherwise he'd have killed you.
18:10Survival.
18:12Helping Jim justify his own actions as necessary.
18:15He's clearly convinced his men that false imprisonment, rape,
18:17and really just going full Handmaid's Tale is necessary for their survival.
18:21Self-sacrifice.
18:22You eat these.
18:23Eat these.
18:23Eat these.
18:24Are you trying to kill me?
18:24I'm not, sweetheart.
18:27I'm making you not care.
18:29Okay.
18:30Bleeeeeek.
18:31I was on a blockade!
18:33Shit!
18:34Can't kill Selina's hope either.
18:39I feel like I'll need to say variations of this 15 times over the next 15 minutes of the movie,
18:43but the way Jim becomes the monster in this scene.
18:45He races across frame and then his breath almost sounds like a growl while he waits for his victim.
18:50And the abandon with which they are just emptying their guns really says something.
18:53All Jim basically said was,
18:54Hey, things are bad, but like, we're only a month into this.
18:57Let's maybe keep some human decency and not resort to forcing ourselves on women and literally
19:01children.
19:01And these dudes are like,
19:03Nah.
19:03Nope.
19:04Kill him now.
19:05Fun fact, Aviation Hat Boy is West's favorite,
19:07and he's forced to kill him himself in a deleted scene.
19:09And really, I'm just glad they all suffer a little.
19:11I know it's just artistic license,
19:12but this series has always played with the idea that the rage virus doesn't completely control you.
19:17More so in weeks.
19:18But Mailer's little thanks I'ma mess him up look is peak.
19:20I'll go and hit the floods and take a butcher's.
19:22If you ever need proof that American slang is lacking,
19:25just spend some time with anyone who knows some cockney.
19:27Take a butcher's, a butcher's hook, have a look.
19:30Those pills.
19:31I think they're having an effect.
19:33I can feel them.
19:35I don't feel sleepy.
19:38Again, drugs.
19:40Trainspotting guy.
19:41She's a minor, but he's holding himself back.
19:43They're dead.
19:43And you're gonna be next.
19:47Something about her calm, drugged-out demeanor while telling him he's next is so satisfying.
19:51Mailer has some timing.
19:53You two!
19:54In the house!
19:54Move!
19:55In the what?
19:56Yes, my friends, it's time.
19:57I'm glad I haven't built it up at all.
19:59Move!
20:03And I love how it starts just as Mitchell says the words.
20:06Fun fact, the actual film version of John Murphy's In the House in a Heartbeat is slowed down about
20:10three percent, making it a semitone lower than the soundtrack version.
20:13It's also almost seven minutes long, so if you're wondering why the soundtrack version
20:17has never quite lived up to the feels you get while watching this scene, that half step down
20:21starting on a C sharp instead of a D totally changes the vibe.
20:24Welcome to Moviescore Wins.
20:25If you're new here, I spend way too much time on this stuff.
20:27Just go watch my Stranger Things video on Nebula for proof.
20:30Hey, those are Frank's apples.
20:31His scream is the definition of blood curdling.
20:34Look, Jones was the least bad of the group, but you know what they say.
20:37If nine people break bread with a proud rapist, you've got ten rapists.
20:44A little nonchalant glance at the scream.
20:46Every shot of Jim throughout this sequence will have you questioning if he's infected.
20:49You know he's not, but you also know he's not himself.
20:52Turns out rage and infection aren't mutually exclusive.
20:55Alas, Jones shot Feral so he wouldn't have to be bayoneted to death.
20:58And yet he himself gets bayoneted to death.
21:01The quick blackout in their pair.
21:03Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.
21:07It's the slow build that I love.
21:11The quiet guitar drones on for over two minutes.
21:13Just now adding in some percussion.
21:15Punctuated by a few moments like the strum of chords that cut out right on the stab.
21:22Trapper hat rage zombie has always been my favorite.
21:24Zombies are always in the clothes they died in or weren't in.
21:26But I'd have such a hard time being scared of the guy with a goofy hat on.
21:30I didn't say impossible.
21:31Also ingenious hiding spot.
21:33And the script has been totally flipped now.
21:37With shirtless bloodied Jim showing no fear while the soldiers cower.
21:43And another punctuation of the distorted electric guitar as Selena knows she's hearing Jim.
21:47But don't worry, I'm gonna get you out of here.
21:50Then we're gonna find a nice little place somewhere.
21:53It's really impressive that Mitchell holds on to being a creep to the very end.
21:56They're trapped and hiding from zombies and he's still like,
21:59when this is over, I'm still gonna be a creep, FYI.
22:02Even the way Jim's charge is shot is reminiscent of the way the infected run at victims.
22:06He's filmed like an infected.
22:07I'd say this counts as ending badly,
22:09and it's the best usage of this kind of death in the series because I don't care for the other one.
22:15That was longer than a heartbeat.
22:17Interesting, because my heart just stopped beating from that line.
22:20Love.
22:20There's so much going on in this one moment.
22:22Obviously, it's the climax of the best track to ever grace your ear balls,
22:25aptly titled In the House in a Heartbeat.
22:29And obviously, Jim is calling back to when she said she wouldn't hesitate,
22:35something she'd already proven when she ended Mark.
22:37But over the story, we've seen Selena slowly soften while Jim hardened a little.
22:41Is it a little silly that Jim didn't say some human words to prove that he wasn't infected?
22:45Maybe.
22:46Or did the simple fact that he didn't say wait, as Mark did,
22:49show Selena that he knew he wasn't infected?
22:51Did he want to give her the chance to prove to herself that she actually cared
22:55about more than simply surviving?
22:57Bro drops the smoothest punchline with the smoothest Irish voice,
23:00and by the way she says his name, he just got the biggest non-I-love-you-I-love-you ever.
23:06Who could have predicted that not decapitating someone could be so demonstrative?
23:10But it is a zombie movie, after all.
23:12And I guess with what they've been through,
23:13snogging while covered in other people's blood isn't really that bad.
23:16You know, given that it's not ragey.
23:27Good looking out, Hannah.
23:28Comeuppance.
23:29Also love that her quick reaction driving was set up earlier.
23:36And nice little poetic justice that it's Mailer who gets him.
23:38And this is why I still have hope for Butch and Sundance.
23:41This quick cut montage with hell written on the hill.
23:43It's crazy that there's a version of this where Jim is dead, because I personally hate that,
23:47and this rhymes with Jim waking up again after something traumatic.
23:49The greenery, totally new world.
23:51Yeah, yeah, there's sequels, but outside of Shaun of the Dead,
23:53this is honestly one of the most hopeful endings for a zombie film.
23:56Do you think he saw us this time?
23:58How could he possibly miss this face?
24:01Pretty much a perfect movie for me.
24:02Continuity errors, crappy camera, and all.
24:04It's the movie that introduced me to Cillian Murphy, and my life has been better ever since.
24:08I didn't hold much back in the main part of the video,
24:10so I don't have a ton more to say.
24:11I think the underlying theme of Jim searching for a dad,
24:13only to find out he has to take some responsibility for himself works really well,
24:17even if it isn't something I really picked up on the first time I saw the movie.
24:20No, the first time I was cheering inside my brain when he takes over the house in a rage-filled rampage.
24:24One other thing I kind of breezed over was the sound design of the screaming,
24:27and the zombies are insane, but it's actually the human screams that really get under your skin.
24:31They don't hold back at all. It's almost uncomfortable at times.
24:47You can really feel their suffering, which is the weirdest thing to win ever, but hey.
24:52I love 28 Weeks Later as well, we'll definitely be able to get to it,
24:54but much like I talked about in my horror sequels video,
24:57it upped a lot of the stuff that was only hinted at in this one.
24:59Most of the deaths happen through sound design. There's blood spray occasionally,
25:03a limb coming off, but especially by the end,
25:05soldiers are just getting mauled to death in our imagination. It works.
25:08I will say I'm glad the camera in Weeks got an upgrade.
25:11Next week, some terrible lizards, two of them.
25:21The raisins, huh? They're still moist.
25:24Back at Christmas.
25:26Back at Christmas.
25:27Boy, bro, we're at the pub.
25:29I'm in the lads.
25:31For the dawn, she punts us.
25:34Tea and crumpets.
