- DirectorDanny BoyleStarsCillian MurphyNaomie HarrisChristopher EcclestonFour weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the United Kingdom, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.Still after all of the horror films i have watched, 28 Days Later stays at number one. Danny Boyle re-invented the zombie horror genre and it is utterly terrifying. This film had the biggest effect on me in the horror genre. Zombies scare the hell out if me, and i am not afraid to admit that, the slow walkers in the original George A Romero films are bad enough, but the fast running zombie which carry a rage virus that takes seconds to infect a person, is horrifying. This is my ultimate best horror film.
