Only a critic completely unfamiliar with any genre films would describe 28 Days Later with hyperbole like "the scariest movie since Rosemary's Baby". It's an OK movie but it's obviously heavily "inspired" by George Romero's zombie trilogy, to put it kindly. The plot doesn't make a lot of sense even by horror movie standards; in one scene the virus victims seem to be too tired to get off the floor, in the next scene they're running around like Carl Lewis on crank. I was also bothered by the point that it didn't occur to any of the survivors to get a gun, instead they preferred to beat the zombies with bats.
