I'm a big fan. Loved 28 DAYS LATER.
Was it a tad overrated? Yeah, probably. Was it original? No, it wasn't the most original movie in the world. But was it scary? IMO that's a huge, resounding YES!
I love movies propelled by a horror that could conceivably *really happen*. To me, that's the scariest kind of horror movie of all . . . .
Believe it or not, some of my favorite scenes were the "quieter" ones, though. The scenes of Jim wondering a lonely, desolate city. Totally *alone*.
Great stuff. I bought it the day it came out.
Oh, yeah . . . and I totally agree about the ALL-CAPS thing. :)
