Boyle later said the film was shot prior to 9/11, and had no way of knowing the kind of impact it would have. Lots of people thought it had no business showing up in a zombie movie. People posting up notes and pictures, to people who were still lost, or in remembrance. In the weeks following 9/11 the same kind of thing was happening all over Manhattan, in parks, in subway stations, all over. I was living in New York City when this film came out, and there was a lot of criticism thrown at the film regarding the beginning scenes of deserted London, specifically the sequence where Jim is looking over all the posts, and pictures, and notes to loved ones at Piccadilly Circus.

There are so many amazing shots.I mean, I could go on forever about it. The end is extremely fucking nigh indeed.ДЄnd 28 days later is so, well, beautiful. The twitching, and growling, and head shaking. Just the speed and ferocity and sheer crazed violence of them. No one had ever seen anything like them before. I think it's hard to really convey how frightening those zombies were back when 28 days later came out.

And then Jim went into the church.and after that, the theatre was pretty much the most tense place I'd ever been in. I felt a very visceral fear, and the entire audience freaked the fuck out. That scene where Jim sets off the car alarm.holy shit, I thought my heart stopped for a second. I remember going to see 28 days later in a packed theatre opening weekend after reading in the paper that the director of Trainspotting made a freaking zombie movie that was knocking people's socks off.
