Saturday October 29th @ 9.30Am
Arc cinema
Run time 1hour 53 mins
28 Days Later is a 2002 British postapocalyptic horror film directed by
Danny Boyle and written by Alex
Garland. It stars Irish Actor Cillian
Murphy as a bicycle courier who
awakens from a coma to discover
the accidental release of a highly
contagious, aggression-inducing virus has caused the breakdown of society. Naomie Harris,
Christopher Eccleston, Megan Burns, and Brendan
Gleeson appear in supporting roles.
Garland took inspiration from George A. Romero’s Night
of the Living Dead film series and John Wyndham’s 1951
novel The Day of the Triffids for the film’s post-apocalyptic
story. Filming took place in various locations in the United
Kingdom in 2001. The crew filmed for brief periods during
early mornings and temporarily closed streets to capture
recognisable and typically busy areas when they were
deserted. John Murphy composed an original soundtrack.
