Summary

Sci-fi horror starring Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris. When bike courier Jim wakes from a coma in a deserted London hospital, he discovers that a highly contagious virus has turned most of the population of Britain into murderous maniacs. In constant fear of his life, he joins three other survivors on a desperate journey to find sanctuary from the infected hordes.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

From eerie vistas of deserted London to unnerving views of Manchester reduced to burning rubble, this Dogme-driven apocalyptic nightmare from director Danny Boyle is a tense, exciting and terrifying horror. As a highly contagious virus spreads across the country, locking its victims into a permanent state of homicidal rampage, four individuals who have so far escaped infection (including Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris) have to fight off the deranged hordes. A powerfully iconoclastic Dawn-meets-Day of the Dead hybrid (written by Alex Garland, author of The Beach), this triumphantly executed piece of modern horror has genuine shock value with its down-and-dirty violence and disturbing authenticity. Shot on digital video for a documentary feel that is tempered with occasional, unexpected flashes of surreal artfulness, Garland's compelling story grips on every level as Boyle's visual concept dovetails perfectly with the atmospheric narrative to produce an engrossing assault on the senses.
