28 Days Later

British infection film

A 2002 British horror film directed by Danny Boyle in which a virus called "Rage" transforms infected people into violent, fast-moving killers.

The film revitalized the zombie genre by making the infected sprinters rather than shamblers, influencing countless subsequent zombie movies and video games.

The title refers to how long the protagonist was unconscious while civilization collapsed.
