**mild abstract spoiler ahead** My feelings about this movie may very well be extended towards Boyle's movies in general : solid direction overall, but events did not fail to go from situational and behavioral realism to sudden heroical action nonsense.

Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs -- and it's absolutely impossible to contain.

A personal favourite._
One of the best zombie movies ever made with many of the genre's "firsts:" 1. The first that begins with an actual explanation of what created the zombie plague. 2. The first to introduce a fast-moving "infected" horde, ratching up the tension significantly. 3. The first to infect people instantly (within seconds).
