A virus that turns those infected
into raging killers is accidentally released from a lab and spreads
everywhere, decimating humanity. It requires only one drop of blood
or fluid from an infected person to infect another. Twenty-eight
days later four un-infected people try to leave London and head
north after they hear a recording being broadcast announcing that
there are other survivors. With Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Megan
Burns, Christopher Eccleston and Brendan Gleeson. Directed by Danny
Boyle. [1:48]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - Men forcibly take off a woman's clothes
(we see her bra and bare abdomen) and prepare to rape her. There are
several scenes when men talk about a woman and a girl in sexual
terms (one man says "I'm gonna make her squeal"). A man and a woman
kiss passionately, a woman kisses a man, and a woman kisses a man on
the cheek. We see a few women with bare breasts (they are infected
and "raging"). A nude man lies in a hospital bed with tubes and
wires attached to him (we see genitals, bare buttocks and chest). A
nude man stands in a shower and we see his bare buttocks and back.
We see a statue of a nude male with exposed genitals.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - When people are infected with the
"rage" virus they vomit blood and goo, their eyes turn red and they
become maniacal, trying to infect non-infected people. A boy jumps
at a man hissing and growling and the man beats him to death with a
bat. A man is hit with a bat and then shot repeatedly (we see
bullets piercing holes in his shirt and he lies dead on the ground).
Men break into a house, tackle a man, and another man hacks them to
death with a machete. A woman hacks a man to death with a machete:
he screams and pleads and blood sprays on the walls. A man is
stabbed in the stomach by a bayonet, and a man is shot. A man and a
woman are attacked by infected people: one infected man is hacked
and beaten and thrown down a flight of stairs. A man is dragged out
of a car and attacked. Many infected people charge toward a military
encampment; they run through a mine field and are blown up into the
air and others are shot down by men with guns. A man is attacked by
two infected people and blood is splattered all around the room;
another man is attacked by an infected man, they wrestle on the
floor, the infected man vomits on him infecting him and he then runs
through a building chasing others and screaming. A man fights with
another man, he slams his head against a wall and drives his thumbs
into his eyes (the man screams). An infected man is tied with a
chain around the neck and he vomits blood and lunges toward two men
who enter the yard where he is restrained. A woman holds a machete
to a man's crotch, and a woman hits a man on the head with a vase.
Rats swarm toward a group of people followed by many infected
people. A man gagging and gesturing wildly approaches another man
who hits him in the head and runs from a group of other people. A
monkey lunges at a woman, knocks her to the floor, bites and gnaws
at her neck, and the woman vomits blood and goo onto a man. A man
hits a man in the face (we see a bloody gash). People throw
firebombs at other people, two persons catch fire and flail around
and a man ignites a gas main that explodes. Men in a truck shoot
weapons all around a deserted station trying to hit a man hiding
there. We see many infected people dying along a road -- they are
starving to death. A man shoots many infected people charging toward
him. Two men are chained to a radiator, and then are walked through
woods (which are strewn with dead bodies) by two other men with
guns; one man is shot and killed, and the other man runs away. A
dead monkey lies on a table with its chest cavity splayed open (we
see some bloody tissue and ribs). A crow tears and pecks at a dead
body. People drive into a tunnel that is strewn with dead bodies and
broken down cars. A man finds a large room full of dead bodies; it
appears as if they committed suicide (flies buzz around and he
reacts to the smell). A man walks into a diner and finds many dead
bodies including an infant. A man finds a man and woman lying dead
(their skin is tinged blue and they apparently killed themselves).
Also many dead bodies lie on streets. A man talks about stepping on
dead bodies while trying to escape. There is a film that shows
people being beaten in streets, a man hanging, a man in flames
wrapped with a tire, and people being shot. A man is hit in the face
and he falls unconscious (he has a bloody nose and mouth). Monkeys
in cages act frantically, screaming and jumping. A man yells at a
woman, and a man yells at a girl. A girl hides and is nearly
discovered by an infected person. There are several eerie and creepy
scenes when a man walks through a deserted hospital and streets:
cars are overturned, and we read a headline about a city being
evacuated. A car crashes through a gate and the passengers are
thrown around, and a car approaches a city that is in flames. A man
has blood on a bandage covering his arm, and a man has a scar on his
scalp. A man starts a siphon and gets gasoline in his mouth.
