28 Days Later... Family Review

Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.Animal activists invade a laboratory with the intention of releasing chimpanzees that are undergoing experimentation, infected by a virus -a virus that causes rage. The naive activists ignore the pleas of a scientist to keep the cages locked, with disastrous results. Twenty-eight days later, our protagonist, Jim, wakes up from a coma, alone, in an abandoned hospital. He begins to seek out anyone else to find London is deserted, apparently without a living soul. After finding a church, which had become inhabited by zombie like humans intent on his demise, he runs for his life. Selena and Mark rescue him from the horde and bring him up to date on the mass carnage and horror as all of London tore itself apart. This is a tale of survival and ultimately, heroics, with nice subtext about mankind's savage nature.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilA group of animal rights activists break into a lab and release monkeys from their cages to rescue them, despite warnings from a scientist that the monkeys are contagious. As a result of the animal rights activists' actions, a virus that the monkeys contained rapidly across Great Britain and infects numerous people. Jim, who fell into a coma following a bicycle accident shortly before the virus was released, emerges from his coma and finds that London is deserted. He realizes that he is not alone, as within the city there are those that have been infected and those that have not. Jim manages to find more survivors and they head out to Manchester, where a group of British military personnel offer protection of any survivors from the infected. However, Jim and his colleagues have no idea what they're in for.—SamWhen a group of animal rights activists release a chimpanzee infected with a virulent, genetically engineered plague from a research facility in Cambridge, the terrible virus escapes into the population. Devastating, and highly transmittable, it's only a matter of seconds before the uncontrollable pathogen locks those infected into a permanent state of murderous rage. As a result, within 28 short days, the terrible virus has overrun the entire country, and a handful of survivors entirely cut off from any information, begin their attempts to salvage a future, unbeknownst to them that the deadly virus is not the only thing that threatens them.—Nick RiganasIn a top secret British lab, peace activists release a monkey infected with a highly powerful and contagious test virus, despite the begging of the scientist in charge of operations. 28 days later, the infection has gone from one monkey to the majority of the UK, the host of the virus is lost in a murderous state, losing all logic and instinct. Jim, a courier, wakes up from his coma in an empty hospital, to find that the streets have been heavily littered and are empty. His fear began when he saw no one. His terror erupted when he realized he wasn't alone.—ipreach4ever1 moreAll
