Welcome back to the show! If you are new here, welcome!
This week, we dive into the infection-fueled nightmares that redefined modern horror: 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. From Danny Boyle’s atmospheric slow-burn that introduced the Rage Virus to Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s adrenaline-fueled sequel that amped up the chaos, these films didn’t just revive the zombie genre — they transformed it.
We break down their impact on horror cinema, the ethics of survival, and how these movies reflect post-9/11 paranoia and government mistrust. Plus: that unforgettable opening chase in 28 Weeks Later and why Cillian Murphy’s haunted stare still lingers.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or revisiting for the first time, this episode is a blood-splattered love letter to two of the most influential horror films of the 21st century.
