The inspiration behind this video:

The Infected's fast-loping run, distorted voices, and spurting blood (which can pass the infection on with just a drop,) are more disturbing than many obviously-dead zombies because there is still the tiny hope of a cure. However, when this hope is exploited, 28 Days Later gives audiences a scene more disturbing than any involving the Infected. Major West, played by Christopher Eccleston, reveals that his broadcast promising "the answer to infection" is a ploy to lure desperate women to his military refuge, to become sexual slaves for his men. This scene is incredibly disturbing for its realism.

Major West and his men are more of a threat than the Infected. However, the slow buildup introduces comedy over a terrible dinner of rotten eggs, giving the viewer a false sense of security while showing the characters' understandable lack of food. The reveal scene discusses the concept of PTSD, and Major West is a more plausible villain than those in other zombie movies. The scene is terrifying for its desperation and bleakness, but sets up 28 Days Later's surprisingly optimistic ending.

Thank You So Much For Watching!
