28 DAYS LATER | Blessed Be...The Infected? (2002) Movie CLIP HD

[@FlawpyTawpy]

This scene was terrifying and unsettling. When he says Hello and the camera cuts to the few infected just staring, what beautiful directing.

[@oroboros88]

The way the infected just stare open mouthed, completely silent and staring like some wild animal was always so eerie to me, never got that feeling from other zombie flicks

[@SamuelBlack84]

Everything human is just gone from their eyes Now they're just rage

Not a zombie film lol.

@@rjayyyy9623its a zombie film. The infected in the movie features all of the same tropes as a classic zombie, like don’t let their fluids into your body, don’t let them bite you, they come from a virus/disease etc etc. this movie just takes a much more nuanced approach that builds upon and evolves the concept of zombies, there’s no point in trying to be like “well actually it’s not a zombie movie heheh ☝️🤓”

While the two infected just staring at Jim is terrifying. In this world, that blank stare could be that those two are so starved and dehydrated that they begin to hallucinate to the point of the lack of reaction at all. Couple that with the rage virus affecting them and making them see things already.

[@ecthox-1mork909]

That is a nice explanation for why those two infected, and also the others that later chase Jim out, are just staring vacantly up at Jim without moving until after he hits the priest and runs.

[@cptaintskmaster]

lack of reaction? they bolted up as soon as they heard someone make a noise lol

[@josephusaquila]

@@cptaintskmaster I think you missed my point. Yes, they did had a reaction to someone like Jim who said "Hello". What I said for the lack of reaction is after they looked at him, just utterly nothing, eyes and mouth wide looking at him. At that point, they would have rushed to him the moment they saw him, but no, they just stared at him.

[@cptaintskmaster]

@josephusaquila idk man, they moved pretty fast the second they heard him, if the virus gives them uncontrollable rage then I assume their adrenal glands are overclocked and their senses are to the max, then again it's a zombie movie lol

[@josephusaquila]

@@cptaintskmaster Yeah, but like I said, they're probably starved and dehydrated for how many days, but they're still alive. I feel like no matter how the rage virus override their body's limits, it still has it's weakness; the hosts bodily limitations is also the rage virus'. This was just a moment where the body had to recalibrate into an adrenaline pumped vessel for the virus again, hence the display for the lack of reaction for a brief moment until Jim hurried out from the church. But yeah though, it's a zombie movie in it's heart, so the directors might just have thought that it would be a creepy thing for the infected to act like that.

[@blotblot1292]

Out of all the infected the priest is the only one that seemingly tries to hold back the rage its like he is trying to warn jim to run before he loses control

This scene sets the tone for the rest of the film. Good god, I was young when I saw this part for the first time and never got it out of my head. The lighting, the corpses and the guitar playing in the background. Those two zombies that all the sudden stand up and dont run or attack Jim on sight, they just look at him with those eyes full of rage and confusion, you wonder if they are planning how to reach him but they cant figure it out yet or maybe their hunter brain cant comprehend something that isnt running away from them. The amount of horror and anxiety in this scene is amazing. There are more gruesome or louder scenes in this film, but this scene is just perfection

the fact they were still running ingulfed in fire is even more terrifying cuz it just proves how relentless the infected are

I always thought the priest was trying extremely hard to control himself from the rage virus. As he walks towards Jim he waves his arms out as if hes saying "get out, get away from me" then right before Jim hits him he has his arms out like he's trying to block himself from Jim, and also the look on his face has a "No!" look to it.

[@tk-hf4oz]

The priest is most likely one of the strong willed infecteds out there. God knows how long he's been infected but that resisting shows he is really tough. Only Frank or Mailer might top him.

[@SilentDaylily]

The scene of the infected just starring at Jim, still haunts me to this day. Extremely effective. I really hope the grittiness in this film, will play a part in 28 Years Later! That and I hope Jim isn’t infected😂

Can you just imagine how fucking horrifying it would be if you were in Jim's position?

I'd nope the fuck outta there immediately.

I wonder why he was just starring at him and not doing nothing? I believe is that because there are many infected that are too weak/almost dead.

​@@eev4489no, its because they were caught by surprise to actually find someone that isnt infected, and they also dont have the brainpower to work out how to get to jim

@eev4489 I think he was starring at him, because they were shocked. Selena mentioned that Jim was the first uninfected person they’ve seen in a few days or so. So maybe it caught them off guard?

The most unrealistic thing about this scene is that he walked into that room with 100 rotting corpses, and didnt immediately puke his stomach inside out. The smell from that many decomposing bodies would be completely overwhelming. He wouldn't have even been able to inhale so that he could speak. He probably wouldnt have even been able to reach the room before the smell stopped him.

[@Wolfkng94]

I was thinking that too but then I started to think maybe them getting infected changed the smell somehow. Idk but I’m with you on that part lol

[@deenice9169]

Ahhh dude. Thats the truth!! I had a dead possum in my backyard and I couldn’t be 3-4 feet near it without the smell hitting me. Same when my dog died. Smelled like pure ass. Made me realize how unrealistic movies are when it comes to dead bodies. People go near them like nothing. I learned… 1. Bodies become stiff almost within an hour of death. 2. Flies almost immediately start going on corpses. 3. Maggots start and are absolutely disgusting af. 4. The stench is unbearable

[@JaditeKnight]

One of the finest details of the infected in this movie is absolutely terrifying. The infected are no different than normal humans. They’re still themselves, and still conscious… They recognize the people they know, the understand the things they’re saying, but they can’t control themselves any longer, because of the overwhelming amount of rage they’re feeling. To top it off, they’re suffering from Ebola symptoms, and are extremely sick, so they’re most likely in a state of overwhelming pain as well.

To me, my mind goes through the “Uncanny valley” when the two infected stand up. I’m more freaked out of these two starring at Jim than the actual running and shrieking infected for the rest of the film. At least while the infected act inhuman, I’m able to process that. Yet these two still look genuinely human…even though they’re clearly not anymore. Long story short: a good introduction to the infected.,

I think this scene was meant to be a reference to the Rwandan genocide in 94. There was an incident there in which people were lured to a church which promised sanctuary, what they didn't know was the Priest there was actually planning to sell them out. Over about a day they hacked and slashed apart anybody they found, men, women and children. When UN forces arrived they found the bodies stacked in a mess all over the church grounds including indoors sort of like what's being depicted here (minus the zombies/ infected whatever you want to call them). It was described as an orgy of violence by both investigators and the handful of survivors that were found (mostly children who escaped) which fits the tone the movie was going for. Oh and the Priest as far as I know was found years later and arrested and convicted of crimes agianst humanity.

By the looks of how dark the lettering is it seems as tho they gave it a couple coats too. I mean it is a pretty funny message to be on the wall of a church so maybe that’s the reason but it also just seems like an irresponsible risk in a world being overrun by zombies.

​​@@mr.h3lmsl3ywhat tf is the diffrence there? A zombie film and outbreak film could mean the same thing. Like zombie outbreak. The term "zombie" is just a catch all term. 28 days' "infected" have the same aspects that classify the typical zombie, like the "if you get bitten, you turn". Also The whole "They used to be human, but they turned into super aggressive SCARY MFs to kill and eat you." Also it's apparently conceived as a"plague" or "virus". That's a classic one. 28 days literally starts the same way as walking dead, the only diffrence being that walking dead's "walkers" are boring cookie cutter Romero zombies. The infected in 28 days' are much more nuanced, much like the infected in the last of us as well, but they are all zombies nonetheless, as they still fall under that classification..

How exactly did they write those words so up high?

[@S475-pb2dp]

Ikr, did they stand in each other's shoulders? Also was the extra words like "fucking" and "extremely", really necessary? That kinda seems like more tedious work.

[@akilkotamarti1000]

@S475-pb2dp I guess the guys making the blood graffiti were really dedicated to setting the atmosphere.

[@halesbythabale2873]

never noticed that before! 🤣

[@seymoresmithh8908]

What does the last word say? “Night” but missing the “t”?

[@nivekogilvie3368]

@@seymoresmithh8908 Yes, the word is "Nigh", and is basically another word for 'near', 'close', or 'very soon'.

[@duyphan4617]

I heard that the pile of corpses that Jim saw were played by university students who volunteered to do so.

[@eec589]

I wonder if this is the same church that was shown in the 28 Years Later trailer. Looks like it.

[@arweiss21]

this is different from the version i have. There's music playing when he starts running and it's really loud. I have the original DVD though

[@connorwood9211]

- Any chance the church from the new trailer is the same one? - Still don't get what exactly happened here? Was it mass suicide? Did infected kill them? Why were infected just hanging around there?

[@MarkRice-h2m]

I don't think so cus it doesn't look like it and Jim woke up in London this is a different part of the country at the start of the trailer. From wat I can see on the 28 days later wiki it was used to dump bodies of dead out of the way during the start of the outbreak and the infected just wandered in there. Also the infected mainly hangout inside and come out more at night there not nocturnal by any means but if u notice how Jim walks around for ages and sees no one and selana says u only move around during the day unless you have no choice

[@ryancampbell5039]

It was a mass suicide during the initial stages of the outbreak.

[@Waterboarder69]

Yeah the two infected staring is horrifying but his reaction to them is also just as scary.

[@bumblefritz]

As far as the whole "zombie" debate goes, that word does not strictly mean "undead." It can also mean someone acting on external forces beyond or against their own suppressed consciousness, such as a spell, a drug induced trance, and I would say even a virus (or bacteria/fungus, etc.) So I would agree to some extent that it's not a zombie movie in the classic fashion, but I wouldn't disagree with the statement that it is. Edit: I am now fully committed to it falling under the zombie category.

[@_.-_Crimpy-_..-.]

It definitely is. It’s just a different take on the zombie. Alex Garland was also inspired by Resident Evil, and I’m pretty sure that the zombies in those games technically aren’t undead either. Danny Boyle seems to dislike them being called zombies though. He even mocked George Romero’s zombies once.

[@bumblefritz]

@_.-_Crimpy-_..-. You're right. I completely agree.

[@HawkknightXC88]

Number one in a horror movie setting that features zombies. Never say hello in a empty building with dead bodies because then your screwed the moment red eye zombies look at you very creepy and getting ready to attack. Just don't even go in a building with dead corpses where the undead are at.

[@OfficialHoDawg]

They're not undead.

[@hoviksmail]

I consider this more mutant than zombie. Like so many of the "zombie" movies I've seen.

[@jackholloway1]

I've never understand why 1) the infected just stand there and watch him instead of charging at him amd 2) why his response to seeing people for the first time since he's woken from a coma is to just turn and walk away rather than try and engage them even if they look weird

[@seymoresmithh8908]

1. May be a few days since the infected have seen anyone not infected, so probably didn’t know how to react. Adrenaline probably subsided during that time of “dormancy” until they were pumped up with rage adrenaline again. 2. He didn’t immediately turn and walk away. He only started to run away after knocking down the priest yet priest still wanting to go after him. If someone with blood shot eyes comes toward me aggressively and I knock him down and he’s still wanting to come after me…yeah I’d turn and leave too.

[@_.-_Crimpy-_..-.]

Those infected were likely weak and starving

[@jackholloway1]

@_.-_Crimpy-_..-. but they chase him a minute later

[@John-f5j8o]

The City of London was evacuated (as per the newspapers) by the time the infected, spreading from Cambridge and into the boroughs, arrived. There was only corpses of mass suicides and some remnent survivors left. They are weak and delirious from the virus. A person standing out of reach, still, against light, saying "Hello" might be an imaginary figment or a potential attack victim. They are trying to figure out wheter Jim is real and if so, how do we get up there to infect and kill. That's the true horror of the scene, uncanny human expressions: surprise, calculation and pursuit.

Technically its a Zombie movie 😂

[@VickiVampiressYT]

It's kind of a shame this movie was shot on cheap-ish digital film at the time. Makes it extremely difficult to remaster and enhance vs traditional film rolls. If this movie were made today then they could've obviously used filters and AI, but I guess we're stuck with the blurry digital film for this movie that we got. Then again, the muddy, blurry image also has a certain charm. A digital relic.
