By David Edelstein Posted Thursday, June 26, 2003, at 6:30 PM ET If you read Alex Garlands best-selling novel The Beach, youll remember its jarring climax, which seemed like a cross between The Bacchae and Night of the Living Dead 1 The book was set in a utopian collective on an island off the coast of Thailand, but in the face of external threats, internal tensions, and a whopping dose of hallucinogens, the wannabe utopians got carried away by their rage and transformed into something resembling flesh-gouging zombies. I wondered how the 2000 movie, directed by Danny Boyle and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, would handle that kind over-the-top carnage, but the filmmakers punked out. John Hodge, Boyles screenwriter, came up with something more like a high-school shunning, and the picture ended with a druggy whimper. My guess is that Garland was bitterly disappointed by the new ending, because he turned around and wrote Danny Boyle a full-length flesh-gouging zombie movie called 28 Days Later Fox Searchlight. The title is also an inter-title. Most of the film takes place four weeks after the prologue, in which a bunch of militaristic animal-rights activists break into a lab where scientists the eye movie part 1 eng sub infected monkeys with a virus of pure rage. The monkeys are watching footage of savage rioting, which Id have predicted would discourage violence: Thats what it does to Alex in A Clockwork Orange 1 If I wanted to drive monkeys into a murderous fury Id show them tapes of, say, Nancy Grace. Blaming animal-rights activists instead of overweening scientists for summoning up the mother of all plagues strikes me as rather unfair, but its consistent with young Garlands view of the counterculture in The Beach, in which communal idealism leads to fascistic arrogance leads to flesh-gouging zombies. The upshot is a bummer of a scene, man. Its also shocking, disorienting, ferociously intense. The protagonist, Jim Cillian Murphy, is a bicycle messenger who was hit by a car a few months earlier and had the the eye movie part 1 eng sub luck to be in a coma when the rage virus hit the fan. He wakes up to find London eerily quiet and stacked the eye movie part 1 eng sub dead bodies, some of whom open their blood-soaked eyes and come after him. Hes saved from a marauding zombie priest presumably the one who scrawled on the wall of his church The End is Extremely F-ing Nigh by two other survivors, Mark Noah Huntley and the dishy Selena Naomie Harris, who fill him in on what he slept through. Selena tries to give Jim a 10-cc dose of survivalism, demonstrating how to kill even someone you like if you suspect them of being infected, and reminding him that nice people can slow you down when youre trying to get away from zombies. Jim clings stubbornly to his humanismbut how will he respond with the ghouls nipping at his heels? 28 Days Later is like all three George A. Romero Dead movies packed into one: Its larky shopping scene recalls Dawn of the Dead 1978, and it ends in a military compound, where much of the messed-up Day of the Dead 1985 is set. The movie is derivative as hell, but its also blazingly well-made, and it moves at a ferocious clip. So do its zombies. Unlike the loping Romero dead, the infected here are a barely glimpsed blurwhich makes them terrifying in a different kind of way. When theyre hacked up or shot, their blood spatters stroboscopically in shiny diamonds. And that blood is lethal: If it gets into your eye or mouth or a cut on your hand, then in 10 to 20 seconds youre a frothing, bloody-eyed zombie, too. In one scene, a tide of rats rushes toward the main characters: Theyre not bringing infection, theyre running away from it. The most heartrending moments in the movie come when people we care about get sprayed with the blood of the infected: We see the look of anguish in their eyes before the rage arrives and turns them inside out.
