MY fiance got extremely tense towards the end of the film. it brings up a good point, what would be worse, being pummeled by some psychotic, or getting raped on a regular basis?


I just love it when Jim DESTROYS that asshole at the end. I will never tire of him beating that guy to death :D

I often wonder how people rate a horror movie. It seems to me that many people think a horror film is great if it has lots of gore and witty dialogue, regardless of the acting or the story. 28 Days Later is a case in point. I went with a few friends who didn't like it because it didn't "live up to their expectations": a splatter-fest. Even though the acting was top-notch, the cinematography was disturbing (a deserted London? talk about ambience), and the story was timely and satisfying. The scares weren't so much with the zombies, the "infected", but with the soldiers who offer sanctuary. The real horror here is the way people treat other people, not the make-believe monsters. And horror that is real is almost always more disturbing.
Nice opinion! God you guys are almost making me wanna see that crapload again......NOT

The ending raised some questions with me as well. Is raping someone justified if you have to do so to continue the cycle of life in the human race? IMO, if human's have to resort to rape to keep from dying out, then we haven't shown that we don't DESERVE to die out.

I agree. They were using "replenishing our ranks" as an excuse, they just wanted to get some, and wanted some women. I bet had they gone a few more months, there would have been a lot of masturbating and anal sex going on in that mansion......




But i am now straying off the topic. Way off....

I really want to see The day after tomorrow. I know it is big-budget hollywood crap, btu i love disaster flicks... they are so shallow :D

That does sound really good....The Day After Tomorrow, not the Masterbating and Anal.....Glad I caught myself there....

Yes, yes. I forgot to put what movies I really HAVE to see.

It hasn't come out yet, but I really NEED to see the Silent Hill film ... and the movie Saved. That one looks like it'll be a riot.

It's not 28 DL but try "The Omega Man" it's like it in some regards, but a bit campy by todays standards.
