Fried Facts About 28 Days Later

Here are some fried facts (fun, intense, or mind-blowing tidbits) about 28 Days Later (2002), the groundbreaking zombie horror film directed by Danny Boyle:

1. Shot on Consumer-Grade Cameras

To achieve a gritty, documentary-style look, the film was shot on Canon XL1 digital cameras (mostly used for home videos at the time). This gave it a raw, immediate feel that set it apart from traditional horror films.

2. The Infected Aren’t Technically Zombies

The film’s 'infected' are rage-filled humans, not reanimated corpses—making them more like fast, rabid predators than classic zombies. This helped popularize the 'fast zombie' trope in modern horror.

3. London’s Eerie Emptiness Was Real (Sort Of)

The iconic scenes of a deserted London were filmed early in the morning with police permission. Some shots used digital removal of cars and people, but many were just real, closed-off streets.

4. The Original Ending Was Much Darker

The theatrical ending leaves hope for Jim (Cillian Murphy), Selena (Naomie Harris), and Hannah (Megan Burns). However, the alternate ending (included in some DVD releases) shows Jim dying from his wounds, and the two women being left to an uncertain fate.

5. Cillian Murphy’s Breakout Role

This was Murphy’s first major film role, and he was cast after Boyle saw his intense audition tape. His haunting performance led to future collaborations with Boyle (Sunshine, Yesterday) and eventually Peaky Blinders fame.

6. The Infected’s Blood is Based on a Real Disease

The 'Rage Virus' was inspired by Ebola, which causes violent hemorrhagic fever. The idea was to make the infection feel terrifyingly real.

7. The Film Almost Had a Different Title

Early scripts referred to the movie as 'The End of the World… With Monkeys' (a nod to the lab chimps in the opening scene). Thankfully, they went with 28 Days Later.

8. The Sequel Almost Had a Wildly Different Plot

Before 28 Weeks Later (2007), there were talks of a sequel called '28 Months Later', which would have followed survivors in mainland Europe. Fans still hope for this sequel today.

9. The Soundtrack is Hauntingly Minimal

Composer John Murphy created the iconic score, including 'In the House – In a Heartbeat', which has since been used in countless trailers and other films (Kick-Ass, The Last of Us video game).

10. It Revitalized the Zombie Genre

Along with Resident Evil (2002) and Shaun of the Dead (2004), 28 Days Later helped bring zombie horror back into mainstream cinema, paving the way for The Walking Dead and other modern undead stories.

Bonus: The Infected’s Eyes Were Practical Effects

The blood-red eyes of the infected were achieved with special contact lenses and lighting—no CGI needed!
