THE RAGE VIRUS (Infected, History + 28 Days and Weeks Later) EXPLAINED

[@PrematureProcrastinator]

I never noticed until a recent rewatch, but at the beginning of 28 days later, when Jim wakes alone in the locked hospital room, he finds the key at the foot of the door... Which means a doctor, or nurse, knew that there was at least a possibility that Jim would wake from his coma, but also knew they couldn't take him with them in his condition, so, to give him a chance at survival, they locked the door from the outside to stop him from being located & killed by infected while unconscious, and then slid the key under the door, so that if he woke up before succumbing to dehydration/starvation, he could get out... It's little things like that that make the world of 28DL feel realistic and lived in.

[@sarahrogers1271]

Insane amount of storytelling in one single object, wonderful movie

[@PrematureProcrastinator]

@sarahrogers1271 yeah, there's a ton of it in that first movie... Like in the flat, one of the first shots when they get inside shows the fish in the tank are in about 2 inches of water, struggling to breathe, telling us that they are so short on water they can't spare enough to keep them alive. Danny Boyle is great at that stuff.

Potentially could have been his parents. In their suicide note they say ‘please don’t wake up’. Perhaps they visited him one last time and gave him the key just in case

[@themightydragon710]

Frank's true character shows through his infection transformation. Even whilst becoming infected he's fighting off the process as much as possible, he's walking away screaming, he fights off the urge until the very end. Trying his best to turn his back on hannah and walk away. Brilliant performance

As a teenager when 28 Weeks came out, I also hated Dom in the beginning. But as an adult, I realized that Dom wasn't a coward. He was the first one to start swinging with a crowbar ffs, while the others just up and ran. Shit happened that put Dom in a rock-and-a-hard-place situation. He had to choose between dying an inescapable predicament where with some random kid, OR, get this, choose to live for his OWN TWO KIDS. I think the wife would understand.

Dom is a coward. No sugar coating it. You, me and the most logical of us would have chose that moment to be a coward.

[@ericlowe4038]

There is no way that Don would’ve survived if he had stayed in that room to save his wife and that kid. not with all of the infected headed their way, both in the house and outside. He weighed it in the moment and he made a choice. A choice most of us would make. If he had managed to save them, there is no way they would’ve made it to the boat outside. Don barely made it to the boat and he was running at a full adrenaline sprint! Also that boat could’ve taken about 6 people and the infected can’t swim. I don’t understand why they didn’t chance that in the first place 😂.

[@ziljin]

They had starved out the virus. It was contained. Until the janitor ruined everything. RIP.

[@Gainoffuntion]

I always wondered how the zombies had all that energy. So they have to consume

[@ziljin]

@Gainoffuntion yea at the end of the first movie it showed the zombies died from starvation. In the second movie all of them are long dead. Except the immune carrier. She was immune so she has the virus but no symptoms. With her the virus survived and the janitor kissed her since that's his wife and instantly got the virus and it's over. And then people escaped the quarantine zone via plane or tunnels idk at end of second movie. Plus the son I think also immune and got infected so guess now world is doomed.

[@Khaivet]

They had everything under control until they decided it was time to move people in to live in an area they hadn't even fully cleared as safe yet, finding his wife infected but not inflicted should have triggered an immediate evacuation of all civilians. She was proof that things were not contained.

[@The1rust]

The janitor was only the symptom to a much larger systemic breakdown. At each point which lead up to code red, you have to ask yourself where the military was and why their presence was essentially non-existent throughout a military operation of that scale especially after a carrier is discovered. Doyle spots the kids breaching the quarantine zone, calls it in and the kids get caught by the guards right there. Roll credits.

[@aarcas]

He couldn't have known his wife was infected, he had no idea she was an asymptomatic carrier of the disease or such a thing even existed. Who is really at fault is the military for leaving her quarters unguarded, which was an absolutely insane security oversight.

[@Caesar_Himself]

Appreciate the video. I take umbrage with the notion that Don displayed 'Cowardice'. He was the only one to actually fight the infected, braining at least two before retreating. His wife chased after the new kid and got herself stuck in a room despite Don's pleadings to run, separated by a group of infected. Don by this point had lost his only weapon (a crowbar) and his choice was either stay and certain death or run like hell and hope. His wifes actions condemned her, he could've done nothing to save her at this point.

@@blackmagickdancer2282 It's just a trope with a sliding scale. Something they need to get away from. look at savinis remake of night of the living dead. Barbara character arc was done well without making it ridiculous.

[@NeiasaurusCreations]

Exactly. He fought when he could fight. Than HAD to go to flight when he couldn't. As the only other result is to die when you do either. He still had his kids out there, and getting to them was more important than going down in a vain last stand. IF the roles were reversed the wife would've done the same. As would any other person. It's not cowardice to realize the situation is beyond any hope of solution and to try to save what ever you can, even if it's just yourself to try to find and save your kids. I think some people would like to believe they'd just go down in a last stand. But me personally, I'm not a hero. And I tend to be very practical in a crisis. So I empathize with Don, and probably would've made the exact same choices.

[@ecthox-1mork909]

Quite. And even after abandoning Alice, when he was in the boat, he still went out of his way to try and rescue Jacob from the water instead of starting the motor ASAP with infected all around them. Honestly, I really admire Don as an apocalypse-survivor.

[@Awtor801]

With how the rage virus behaves relentlessly, the boots poem from the trailer makes me akin it to the infected especially the "there's no discharge in the war" part, correlating its chaotic nature of an endless pursuit to humanity, waging a devastating infectious war to the remaining survivors.

[@UberTankred]

The "enhancements" in physical abilities are just an enduring adrenaline rush combined with a total lack of self preservation.

[@henryisnotafraid]

Considering how long it's been since 28 weeks, this is a primer that I think should be required amongst anybody that's getting ready to go see the third.

[@travismcnasty51]

I think the movie should open with a intro about the interim between 28 Weeks and 28 Years. Show how the world got to the point that it is. Just a series of short vignettes with the title card "28 Months Later" splices between them.

[@Ming3484]

I forgot who I heard this from, but another key point 28DL makes is that the scientist foolishly thought they could cure rage, but as we see at the end, it's jim's rage that ends up saving him, Selena, and Hannah. It shows that Rage is very much a part of the human experience and sometimes necessary for survival. When it's kept in check - it can be a force for good.

[@ChromeglizzieMOFO]

Technically the one’s behaviorally unaffected aren’t immune they’d be more akin to asymptomatic carriers

[@sayyid5869]

Frank held his own like a boss, risking himself for a complete set of strangers.

[@LycanWitch]

The biggest plot hole in 28 Weeks Later for me is how the wife’s survival makes no sense. Early in the movie, she somehow manages to survive in a house completely overrun by the rage-infected for weeks. This raised the possibility that asymptomatic carriers might be perceived as fellow infected by those who are symptomatic, which would explain how she survived, similar to how the infected don’t attack one another. However, this all fell apart when her husband becomes infected and kills her. If the infected do attack asymptomatic carriers, how did she survive in that house overran by them and for the many weeks since? It’s an illogical inconsistency that undermines her survival and created a glaring plot hole imo :|

[@pandasonic1294]

Don was kind of a different deal tbh, he was more "aware" so I guess that's why he knew Alice was still Alice and not a "Rager".

[@Yapaholl1c]

This is just a theory, but i believe that the virus could’ve potentially evolved considering that in the trailer for the movie it had stated something like “it evolved”.

[@ecthox-1mork909]

I think you need to rewatch the film - Alice was found in a completely different house to the one where she was infected, in urbanised London instead of in the countryside, and a flashback shows her fleeing away from the beginning scene's house into the woods. As for why Don might have attacked her if the infected do perceive carriers as fellow infected (assuming they do, I think they probably don't)... as the clips of Don abandoning Alice that are intercut through his infected scenes hint, and the director confirmed, Don as an infected can still remember Alice (or at least the moment that he abandoned her), and the guilt he feels for it, and the Rage virus twists his reaction to those feelings of shame and guilt into an absolute need to Destroy, Destroy, Destroy the source of them (Alice).

[@TheFunkyCriminal]

Nah so she made her way back to her actual house in London from that house in the countryside. The infected still attack the asymptomatic carriers. She probably slipped away, mb when they were attacking the kid they had rescued.

[@TheHowlettJames]

Crap writing, everything about 28 weeks was inferior and almost all fans of the original hated or were underwhelmed by the sequel, after all the winter and director were different. And the people here trying to cope with the plot holes lol... Nah she was in the room when the infected destroyed the door of the room she was in, she would not have "given them the slop" and making the janitor have some sort of level of awareness and intelligence made no sense, he seemed to somehow know how to follow the kids smh

Maybe they're saving 28 Months Later as a prequel to 28 Years Later if it ever becomes a financial success? I also hope they could make a 28 Hours Later, where we could see how the virus was created and witness the first outbreak. Basically, turn the comic book to a movie/tv show.

[@idunbeezasmart1]

For me, the problem with 28 Weeks Later, was there had to be a completely unrealistic number of conveniences for the sake of pacing. I feel like they tried to pack too much world building into a too small a runtime. Imo, 28WL should have been broken down into 2 films to give the entire story more believability. Instead, the film makers had to resort to "the incompetent military and government ineptitude", as well as, Home Alone levels of contrivances in order for the film to happen. It could've and should've been so much better.

[@andyl8055]

Not sure I agree with this. It came down to underestimation of the rage virus in general. This is a virus that could spread from one person to fifty in the time it took you to write your message. Or to put your shoes on. In the time it takes to assemble your troops you have thousands and thousands. Armies with artillery, machine guns and barbed wire on open plains had trouble stopping such numbers let alone in the tight confines of an urban environment. Totally plausible for me. They were reckless, but the outcome was just kind of what you’d expect.

[@TheFunkyCriminal]

I agree. I still love the movie cos nostalgia and I do think the first half is still actually good, right up until don manages to see Alice (who should have been behind 15 layers of security). After that, the entire plot kinda falls apart. They could have done a lot better by making it into two movies, i had never considered that.

What are there 9 asses

[@NeiasaurusCreations]

@@JACCO20082012 No, accurate statement. Cowardism is for instant retreating in front of the enemy, before a single casualty is taken, or a shot is fire. Just the sight of the enemy makes you break and run. Causing a panic, and getting more people killed. It's characterized as an irrational fear, even if the situation doesn't call for that level of immediately break and run. But the situation shown is : he fights until he loses his only real weapon a crowbar. And THAN retreats under over-whelming odds and now defenseless. That's not cowardice. That's self-preservation in a situation you can't recover. It's like surrendering to the enemy after being sieged for 6 months, and fighting the entire time. At some point you reach a break where no sane person will continue the effort, as everyone dying won't win the battle either. But that man wasn't even a soldier. So his instincts took over. He fought until he couldn't, ran when he couldn't as we're literally designed to do. And when you can or do neither, you typically just die. So yes he could've technically stayed to die with her. But that wouldn't have accomplished any reasonable thing. Would've left his kids without both parents in that situation. So nah. He wasn't a coward. He just understood the fight was lost and that him dying there would be worse for the remainder of his family. The wife got herself trapped despite his attempt to get her to leave with him. That's how own decisions having direct consequences. She made a worse decision than he did.

[@Ming3484]

To this day Don still gets a lot of hate for leaving her wife when the infected corner her in the room. The wife made stupid decisions and those decisions are what eventually let the infected to attack her and the group. She knew her kids were safe and should have made smarter decisions and done everything to ensure her and Don could get back to their kids, or at least 1 of them get back so the kids wouldn't be orphaned. Now, somethings Don did do that were dumb were... 1. Alllowing his wife to open the door when the kid was outside banging on the door. This directed the infected towards the group hiding out. Plus, the kid could have been infected already but just hadn't started to show symptoms. Yes, he was only a kid but we saw how I'm the first movie an infected kid tried to attack Jim. 2. Not being honest with his kids when they asked about their mom. 3. Sneaking in to see his wife when she was quarantine.

[@psprinny5348]

I never really understood the hate Don got. He tried his best to provide help where he could while trying to escape the house (not his fault the wife had the survival instincts of a potato). Playing hero in his situation would have just gotten him killed. Don was realistic in that he did what the majority of people would do if placed in his situation.

[@NeiasaurusCreations]

@@Ming3484 Oh I for sure would. Because logically once you've got kids you've got a GREATER responsibility to them than your partner. The next generation will always take priority over the last. And while I would do what I could to help my hypothetical wife, if she got herself into a no win situation. At that point I understand she's already gone. I'm not super man after all. And would cut my loses and be there for my kids. Though I probably also wouldn't try to kiss the wife after it either. If they survived. Because y'know. Something ain't quite right about that. And it's probably best to let the scientist and soliders do their job while I focus on the remainder of my family. I also wouldn't lie about the choice I made, even if it makes them upset in the short term. Knowing they're my first priority in every situation will tell eventually. Don being flawed, and making reasonable choices is why he's such a great tragic character.

Hi Niyat, since zombie horror is making a comeback, I would highly recommend the Taiwanese horror "The Sadness", inspired by the original comic "Crossed" by Garth Ennis. Very graphic body horror though. And it's virus is more akin to the psychological effect from Event Horizon where most who're affected are somewhat sane but has been completely removed of all morality. And I couldn't think of a more horrifying world where every person has succumbed to the worst version of themselves.

To me, THIS movie is the one that truly elevates this series. The addition of governments attempting to provide humanitarian efforts to allied countries, the moral dilemmas, the execution of the containment plans going to the last resort. It was so good!! I think both of them highlight different aspects of humanity as you’ve pointed out in this video. There are scenes that were removed from both that would make these stories so much more intriguing and thought provoking. I think the ending of 28 weeks left so many different ways for this story of the rage virus to go. I hope that 28 Years Later gives us some crumbs from 28 weeks as much as it will from 28 days.

I absolutely agree with you. They were killing anyone that didn't agree with them. Out of all the soliders only Mitchell and Sergent Ferrell seemed be dominant personalities and they killed Ferrell. They would have had to kill Frank if he hadn't been infected.

[@anubusx]

Please explore The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.

[@IrueltheSystem]

Thank you for another awesome vid

[@Ecw_Kevin_Torres]

I hope in the next film, they explain what happened to the kids since again in the movie they are carriers and possibly immune to the virus as always I’m excited to see 28 years later

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

The fact Poots is cast in 28 Years should tell you lol

[@Whitespliff]

@@AwareWolfOnWheels Would love to see more Imogen but iMDB doesn't list her (yet).

[@ChrisWilliams-zz1kt]

Both those two movies and doomsday were great viral post apocalyptic movies in the 2000s im glad you covered them thanks

[@cinnamontoastcrunch5665]

Wow i was literally thinking the other day about whether you'd make another 28 days/weeks/years later video with the recent trailer only just dropping and low and behold here you are thank you.

[@dr.strange1300]

Yessir we love the 28 days lore!

[@adrianarredondo5743]

Please make another one of these for 28 years later

[@oiyile1971]

My favourite movie and it inspired one of my favourite games, L4D2

[@jonahrotondo5817]

Who is excited for 28 Years later 🖐

[@elemonator8319]

Have a good happy new year brother and keep it up

[@chiefbologna5719]

My favorite thing to do is find a discussion about this movie and insist that it’s a zombie movie

[@Blackhawk012]

The only big problem with this series is that with all the blood expulsion and saliva the zombies would die in mere days do the dehydration.

[@deathwithin]

Damn bro, thanks for this. Loved it

[@ravenRedwake]

18:53 an unlooted grocery store is such fantastical horse shit.

[@Vile69666]

Back to the classic niyat he mate did you not finish the comic readings because you didn't want to or did they just end ? Because I love them man 🤟🏻

[@aperturelabs8552]

Robert Carlyle's talent is mesmerizing. We HATED HIM and we were TERRORIZED BY HIM. Dude's range is the true monster. Best thing on the franchise... yet underrated af

[@NathanGeiling-r4n]

All magic comes with a price Dearie!

[@aperturelabs8552]

@NathanGeiling-r4n What are you talking about?

[@TheMark1999]

@@aperturelabs8552They're quoting the main catch phrase of a different Robert Carlyle role. The "Dearie" part is just what the character calls people for some reason.

[@MagwellTX]

In 28 Days Later celina tells jim that the infection has spread all over the world but the soldier that appears to be crazy tells jim that it hasnt spread outside of england because the rest of the world quarintined england i mean we do see a plane flying overhead at the end. Aweome movie

[@codymazza7303]

to be fair the movie made an effort to show that they didnt confirm his wife was a carrier untill Don was already approaching her room...its still a bit weak but the effort is there.

[@JaCKal_0000]

without this movie, maybe we will not get L4D1 and 2 in our lives

[@clarapilier]

Happy New Year.

[@Euphoricbleeding]

Another great video!!!!

[@DevenRasberry]

Awesome video brother!!

Favorite topic on my Favorite KZbin channel

[@lz1088]

I love your videos

[@AathielVaDaath]

I want to see you do a series on either the Darkness or Preacher

[@JobeStroud]

Can't believe it has been this long. I remember seeing it after deployment and just thought it was Baghdad with zombies.

[@Omar_listenin]

Great to see you on critical drinker's open bar Niyat, all my favourite KZbinrs are joining forces

[@krexolsen3692]

Any point you will cover the expanse and the books tv series is based on? :)

[@scyferjekoi]

for me, if Resi Evil movie has been faithful to the source material,. they still wudnt outright this GOAT of a film in horror zombie flick genre..

[@jgillan92]

Did you ever finish the comics series???

[@AlexAlex-g2s]

I have to say this Dom might be seen as a coward, but his choices were to die or to run. He wasn’t going to save his wife, even if he gave it everything he had in that situation. As a husband, he failed, but from the perspective of common sense and survival instincts, he made the only choice he could to stay alive.Even if he had stayed, the outcome likely wouldn’t have changed. The infected were relentless, and there was no realistic way for either of them to escape together. I feel bad for the kid, but realistically, what could have been done? Saving the child was the morally correct choice, but making that choice would have ultimately doomed everyone involved and it did for everyone in the house.

[@yurrrrrrr800]

Hopefully they don’t make 28 years later mostly about the “human threats” more than the infected. Its cool for a little showing that humans are now going against each-other, but we want to see it all about the infected and stuff related to that!

[@JNR22B]

Jim’s ape like behaviour and look at the beginning is always over looked

[@dorcasmalahlela2805]

2001 a space Odyssey

[@hwade3037]

Now if only they waited an extra 5 years to release the new movie. Current trailer is phenomenal but the marketing potential of releasing it literally 28 years later

[@power279]

Im so excited for this movie.

[@michaelhowell2326]

Ever since I heard 28 Years Later was coming out, I wondered why they skipped 28 Months. It will bother the hell out of me until I just forget about it.

[@Fireandknives]

I hate how the wife in 28 Weeks Later kept putting him in situations where he had to choose between abandoning her and dying with her due to her horrible decisions

[@trayntp]

The infected weren’t eating their victims in the movie, so they must’ve starved from no longer having an urge to eat as a normal human would.

[@liamdenise246]

until 28 years later, which judging by trailer seems to imply that somehow they no longer die from not eating.

[@trayntp]

@ How does it imply that, though? We saw one starving-looking one in the trailer. Not all infected turned on the same day in the same year. A virus can spread for years.

[@kenferber4381]

Both outbreaks would have been prevented by a couple of security guards.

[@silverlight525]

NOT A WORD FOR WORD QOUTE. Sileena: "Before the raidos went down there were reports of infected in (I think New york) and France.

[@JammaLamma]

So effin good thanks Niyat🙏

[@brydensears6318]

Great video.

[@DarthSanguis]

I remember the first zombie movie I saw was Land of the Dead, and was terrified of zombies afterwards. Then I saw 28 Days and 28 Weeks Later then zombies became nightmare. Now I´m not afraid of slow walking zombies, but fast running zombies that is truly Terrifying. Hopefully 28 Years Later will be an amazing film.

[@raicudona6395]

If Land of the Dead scared you and 28 Days Later scared you more, then go watch Return of the Living Dead. Their zombies are top tier. Being fast, smart, easily spread and literally having no real weakness. (Aside from being burned completely, which only makes more)

[@nobodyepicz7538]

i live for this stuff. best kind of zombies are infected humans that run fast as hewll and are super aggressive. anyone seen black summer? its like the same type but they are actually dead so harder to kill. love it. dont know how i had missed black summer but glad i finally found it! if u love 28 days and weeks later you will love Black summer. btw its a tv show. THX for the vid! loved it! :)

[@christianthrasher8677]

I do have one question what about the parts of the earth that aren't infected with the rage virus

[@user-bd7lw6pz8d]

a detail I just found out that when Mark saying about him and his family finding a place to hiding you can hear screaming in the background.
