Danny Boyle, best known for Trainspotting, together with lead actor Cillian Murphy, brought his low-budget masterpiece, which updated the zombie film genre for the 21st century, to life in a way that will forever be etched in the minds of its viewers: Jim, a wheeled messenger who wakes up from an empty hospital, wanders the empty streets of London in a daze until he is attacked in a church full of corpses by the fast-moving, bloodthirsty undead and, among other things, by the dead. Godspeed You! The iconic survival horror, framed by songs from Black Emperor, bursts into full swing. The film is getting its second sequel this year, 28 Years Later, the follow-up to 2007's 28 Weeks Later.
