28 Days Later
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs -- and it's absolutely impossible to contain.

The film drops significantly when the military storyline begins, shifting from acclaimed horror innovation to familiar territory.
28 Days Later starts exceptionally strong with universally praised opening sequences featuring empty London and Jim's awakening, maintaining high quality through the first half's survival journey. The film loses momentum significantly in the second half when the military subplot begins, though it recovers somewhat with a well-received ending that critics found realistic and satisfying.
