The two infected that were laying in the road towards the end were dying from starvation. Remember, theses are not people who have died and come back to life. They’re regular people who have been infected. Eventually they’ll all die from starvation because they are not eating people, they’re just killing them.

[@adambennett1199]

This man is effortlessly hilarious and entertaining. Truly a gifted individual and of the most entertaining personalities on KZbin in my humble opinion.

[@gggooding]

The car alarm going off is one of the *best* jump scares - because it works on everyone _and_ it's totally fair .

[@STARGUN8687]

Nah, the most scariest part is when Jim's house got overrun. Just sheer surprise, quickness and loud screams make it ideal jump scare.

[@ruthfoley2580]

Fun fact, the reason the laundry basket is there is because the props people ran out of buckets.

[@michelef3398]

“Was the dead titties key to the plot?” I died laughing 😂

At least there wasn't unnecessary sex scenes lol I hate that

[@ohnoitisnt666]

😂 the “ninja turtle piss” is called Crème de Menthe. It’s a mint flavoured liquor. Normally reserved for your Granny. 😂

[@dmwalker24]

Absolutely, the regular humans are the monsters. That's the point. Also, the comparison between the rape gang of soldiers (monsters), and Jim when he decides he's had enough. After he goes over the wall, he taps into the savagery of the infected while retaining the mental faculties of a human. A combination which can be truly horrifying.

[@wandameadows5736]

Yeah the film makers know how to brainwash brain dead leftist. Great job.

[@DomR1997]

At the end of the day, we're jumped up monkeys. All that old shit is still in there, the primal brutality that allowed us to survive for so long. I love movies that capture that.

[@nycsue]

This went far better than I could ever dream! I think the most visceral reaction you had was when the chained up infected was vomiting LOL! Yes we pick movies that we know will have you doing things to make us laugh, but mostly we want to share the movies that we love with you. This genre just happens to be the specialty this spooky month. Oh and you get all the virtual hugs! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@milostewart8738]

I love the way that they made humans the villains of the movie instead of the traditional zombies. Zombies are instinctual and humans do things intentionally. You should check out 28 weeks later. It’s a good sequel to this one.

[@forevergrey]

The intro of 28 Weeks Later is my favorite of any movie.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

Humans are the enemy in most zombie films. The zombies are a peril, but it's mainly infighting and backstabbing by survivors that leads to most deaths.

[@michaelbaumert9533]

The way history has taught us, we are the enemy. Not getting into religion or politics but everything mankind killed man kind en mass who was it? Side note we are also stripping the planet of all the benefits it had.

[@squibblesquabblereactions5431]

They're not zombies. They're alive. They're infected w a rage virus.

[@nathanieljohnson5430]

I don't, mostly because I think humans vs humans in a end of the world scenario is done to death at this point.

I love it too! LOL

[@wesbeuning1733]

There's not really gun stores in England as there is a lot of fire arms regulations.

[@whitecompany18]

Plenty of them bud but usually go more under the radar as "field sports" rather than gun shop .

[@Nigel_Gardiner]

Yep. I'm 46 and I've never even seen a gun 🤷

[@The13Boogyman]

From the American perspective, it would be hard in most states to not even accidentally come across a store with guns. Pretty much every Walmart, Dick's sporting goods, or pawn shop has guns.

[@jblewis1975]

At the end, all of the zombies were starving and out of energy. There is a sequal called 28 Weeks Later, and it's only okay (nowhere near as good as this one). I really enjoyed watching this with you. Night night! 😁👊

[@BadDubII]

The opening scene is the best part imo

[@NemeanLion-]

@@BadDubII I really like that scene too. I was cracking up because it just turned into a massive wind sprint at the end of it.

[@el34glo59]

Opening scene is absolutely brilliant though

[@ShamblesMD]

[@lucianaromulus1408]

This is one of my favorite horrors and one of the best "zombie" films out there. The Aesthetic , the grittiness, the realistic version of zombies, the music...and my favorite part, when Jim turns into a Viking warrior destroying those soldiers ..classic film.

[@richieb7692]

Thanks so much for reacting to this fantastic film. When It was released, this small independent horror film was a Massive hit, and went on to change the entire horror genre. It gave us the Fast Zombies... Which is one great big fat Nope.!!! Still a great film today...

[@Pavaroso]

"The Return of the Living Dead" would like to have a word with you about the bringing fast zombies to the mainstream.

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

13:43 It makes sense that Jim can't run well early on and is having issues breathing. When you have a medical procedure with certain anesthetics, you need to work on your lungs afterwards, and they'll do that during recovery. Since Jim hasn't been through recovery, he still most likely had some of the anesthesia in his lungs. I've had an open liver biopsy and with that, I had to do some breathing treatments afterwards to clear my lungs. Plus, you're really fatigued easily and often after surgery or any medical procedures. Most likely Jim had been moved to recovery during the beginning of the zombie's taking over. Which would explain why he was naked and left in a room.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

He was also just woke from a coma of at least 28 days. (As the parents note and his ignorance of the situation implies.)

[@Thomas_Wedderburn]

28 days later is not really a zombie movie, as the infected are not dead. They are living breathing people who are infected with a virus trapping them in a permanent state of murderous rage. They are so consumed by rage that they do not eat or drink, and eventually starve to death. Also, due to government regulation, it is very difficult for a civilian to own a gun in the UK. Civilian arms simply doesn’t form part of UK society. Awesome reaction, really enjoy your videos 👍👍👍

[@EOMReacts]

Totally agree, but I needed options and it’s on every “best zombie movie list”, so that was good enough for me. LoL Glad you enjoyed!

[@jaxx96632]

Bruh they're still zombies this is like the dragon vs wyvern argument

[@StinkyGreenBud]

They may not be the normal zombies, but what they are is a more realistic approach of what could really happen. I think Danny Boyle created a new genre type of "zombies." The Infected are absolutely insane and in some ways way more terrifying than the undead...my opinion of course.

[@WolfHreda]

@@StinkyGreenBud Agreed. I used to be a stickler for the definition of zombie, but it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. They're zombies. They're just... the absolute worst case scenario zombies.

[@richieb7692]

Still classed as a zombie movie...

[@rabooey]

Creme de Menth, aka Creme de Mint. It's a liquer that tastes like mint. It's good, in small quantity or added to certain mixed drinks.

[@tulinfirenze1990]

If you liked this, you should watch a movie which I think is called Last Train to Busan. It's about zombies on a train. It's an incredible thriller movie.

[@n0byll]

The infected at the end were dying from starvation, they're not truly undead like in most zombie films.

[@crowspirit1279]

I'm absolutely exhausted, but I'm glad you did 28 days later. This movie.... Totally changed zombies forever. Cillian Murphy is pronounced like Killian Murphy. This was his breakout role and my god is he a phenomenal actor. Virtual hugs are given to you Everytime we like a reaction. Take it like that and you would probably die under the weight of love we try to show. :) Happy jloween and hopefully we don't force you into more horror. But hey look on the bright side. ITS HALFWAY OVER! also, what's your costume gonna be this year, cuz we need a reaction in full costume for the big day. Maybe not but i think we all want it. Shout outs to blank, this dude single handedly became the best KZbin editor if ever seen, and you two are like jack black and Kyle Gass, kato and Nash, Cagney and Lacey, Farley and spade, tango and cash, Sam Jackson and Tarantino literally a friendship we all want. Y'all keep it up and after I get some major expenses out of the way crow (formerly lost opportunity) will be back on Patreon. Keep it up y'all, you could advertise this channel as a non addictive cure for depression.

[@mkay7163]

My friend and I saw this in the cinema and we don't talk at the movies but each of us was internally screaming "STOP SAYING 'HELLO!'" through most of it. How many times that man said "Hello" and something terrible happened...

[@chaost4544]

If you do another "ain't sh*t" list, I hope you include the group of soldiers from this film.

[@Ashmo613]

The actor who plays the dad and looks familiar also plays Mad Eye Moody in the Harry Potter movies.

[@christinegelabert1651]

Their happiest part of the movie IS the store because usually zombies and/or zombified entities have issues with lights. So they it was humans that once they're in the store it's relatively safe. Let there be light baby! 😉❤️😎💡

[@hikemartman7971]

“No. He’s not okay. Look at him.” 🤣

[@jarrodoakley6911]

That’s kind of the thing with zombie movies though. Every Romero zombie movie, the walking dead… zombies bring out the primal part of humans, but humans are the real monsters

[@bizarreabomination]

In this film they say the infection reached New York and Paris, but in the sequel they say it was contained to Britain. This irritates me.

[@shoemy89]

The beginning is kind of like Walking Dead: he went in for a surgery or something that he was out for before everything got overrun and stayed out til after

[@S_047]

This is the movie that will give you your cardio inspiration. And what do you know .. activist being the reason everything goes to s*it ** And you know it's the apocalypse when there is zero rain in the Uk

[@shoemy89]

I think at the end the zombies were all laying around because they were actually finally starving to death

"Have they not passed the gun store?" No, not in the UK! You can get guns for certain specific purposes but they're rare (practically nonexistent compard to the USA) and gun stores aren't a thing that you'll just drive past.

Technically this movie and its sequel 28 weeks later is not about Zombies, Zombies are revived corpses. The characters throughout refer to them as infected. Same with The Last Of Us, no Zombies in that just people infected with a mutated Cordyceps fungus. Cordyceps exists in real life but thankfully it has not mutated to infect Humans, it's a threat to insects though.

[@milostewart8738]

I have been waiting all day for this!! I am stoked 😁😁😁

[@IHeartMyLada]

You don't see huge hordes here, because the zombies aren't actually zombies, only regular people infected with a rage virus or whatever. So they'll still die from serious injuries, starvation, etc. So I guess the infected are dying in large numbers as well.

[@TheFtremblay379]

The sequel, 28 Weeks Later, is a great movie too.

[@mundanepants]

At the end of the movie, you see the zombies are slowly starving to death, because this version of zombies aren't really undead, they're living people with an infection that makes them super aggressive and crave human flesh exclusively as food. I remember it being based on some existing insect parasites that take over the insect's regular brain function and make them act suicidally?

I like this movie because it really isnt zombies. Its infected. Zombies never really made sense. This makes sense for how "the dead" can still move around etc. The body still works - its just infected. Vs zombies that use muscles with no blood to carry oxygen and all other body mechanics that they perform.

[@chamab.6800]

Watching this and TWD… that’s now a big fear. I go to sleep and wake up to everyone gone and sh*t looks like it’s gone down. But I do agree, you wake up in that situation, it’s best to keep quiet and find a newspaper perhaps?

[@shaggyrumplenutz1610]

Just last night I was thinking about how nice it would be to see you react to this.

[@andrewmize823]

There is no scientific precedence whatsoever for metabolic activity in dead cells. In the absence of working metabolism, individual cells can't perform the organic processes necessary to function, such as the flexion and extension of muscles or the firing of neurons. Because dead cells are completely inactive, and are in fact disintegrating on a molecular level, the autonomous reanimation of a corpse is quite literally a physical impossibility. That's what I like about 28 Days--the "zombies" are living people infected with a virus, which is a great deal closer to the realm of possibility.

[@Cyber_Samurai20]

Honestly a supernatural explanation for the re-animated types of zombies works far better than a virus. Cause if you think about it long enough it kinda falls apart. Like "Wait these corpses are rotting and fragile how are they moving?". Plus if it's supernatural, it could have far darker implications then say a virus. It could be God punishing man for the sins. It could also be a secret cult that dabbled in powers they didn't understand and opened the gates of hell, thus the dead became demonically possessed corpse puppets that want to feast in the souls of the living. I'm a year late, my apologies lol.

[@latoyamcknight6730]

[@eZTarg8mk2]

they're not exactly zombies, they're living people that go insane when the virus infects them. That was why the army commander was trying to see how long it took for them to starve to death. It made me laugh when you said where's the gun store, those are very uncommon in the UK to say the least, it's also why the rest of the world doesn't get infected, because the UK is an island. Cheers for the reaction, really enjoyable as always

[@GoredonFreeman]

No one in the group had a loicense. Best they could do is find a shotgun. 28 days later, those would probably all be gone. Better off with a baseball bat than the leftovers.

A virus with a 20 second incubation period couldn't become global anyway. If a rage zombie ever got on a plane, I doubt it would ever take off, let alone reach its destination.

[@Bluesit32]

Thing with these "zombies" is that they're still alive...but literally too angry to properly eat. They may take a few bites off someone, but that's it. They're running on pure rage and that's no replacement for food. So they starve.

This movie freaked me out when I first saw it.

Although I concede that it wouldn't be a proper zombie movie without the wholesale slaughter :)

Frank's death always hit me hard... Unlike Selina, he wasn't hardened to the world, focused only on personal survival, or even Jim, who was just reacting without thought to these events... He was a loving father, first and foremost. Every decision he made was making sure his daughter had a future- get out of London, with its heavy concentration of infected to somewhere with less infected and trained military personnel. You could see him fight the virus to protect his daughter. Compared to all other transformations, his was prolonged and violent, as if whatever was left of his rational mind was fighting back. If he had know what those soldiers had planned, I bet he would have sent that whole military camp the same way as the city of Manchester

[@whs-waterfox7034]

When George A. Romero started the zombie genre back in ‘68 he also started the trope of human nature during a crisis being the real danger. All 6 of his zombie movies involve a human villain. You should check out “Return of the Living Dead” (not one of Romero’s) It’s the definition of horror/comedy but nothing like Zombieland. I saw it when it premiered on HBO back in the 80s on Halloween night when I was 6 and have watched it every Halloween since.

@Baked Biehn Those are voodoo priest resurrected zombies. Totally different genre from modern flesh eating zombies.

[@NemeanLion-]

This genre actually all began from the 1954 book “I Am Legend” by Richard Matheson. But the very first movie influence of the post apocalyptic “zombie” world was “The Last Man on Earth” with Vincent Price from 1964 which showed the potential of this genre. This is where directors like Romero saw the potential. They technically weren’t zombies (they changed them to vampires) but they moved and acted just like regular zombies and Vincent Price was the last human left. If you get a chance, check it out because it’s actually better than you think it is.

[@nehifamily]

Have we not passed the gun store? This is in the UK. They don’t do guns like we do in the US. Guns are borderline non-existent to the point that police do not even regularly carry guns. Extremely strict gun laws.
