PARC AT MIDNIGHT: NEW CLASSICS
A group of misguided animal rights activists free a caged chimp infected with the "Rage" virus from a medical research lab. When London bike courier Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma a month after, he finds his city all but deserted. On the run from the zombie-like victims of the Rage, Jim stumbles upon a group of survivors, including Selena (Naomie Harris) and cab driver Frank (Brendan Gleeson), and joins them on a perilous journey to what he hopes will be safety.
‘’28 Days Later exposes the impotence of our institutions, both social and administrative, with the bleak realization that people are not as well safeguarded from danger as they believe. (...) It warns that our civilization teeters on the brink of chaos and oblivion, drawing from a recent past and signaling to a dreaded future. Danny Boyle’s 2002 film is a zombie reinvention, introducing a fast-paced alternative that, in its frantic speed and unrelenting savagery, better symbolizes people’s innate fear of society’s collapse and of losing oneself to the inhumanity of fury and violence."
