The infected are not zombies in definition or in action - they move silently and fast and with pure blood lust. To me scary is things like Ringu - creepy stuff, but most will be freaked by 28 days later. Of course is it scary? Well, not scary but thrilling all the way.
The bridging section of the journey north is good as it helps us know the characters better. Both are well told but for different reasons. First the big picture in London and then the smaller battle north of Manchester. At this point his fear becomes ours and what is important to him is not the detail but the bigger picture of the infected and the chances of survival. Details as to what the virus is or what it was created in the first place (by putting monkeys in front of TV's Clockwork Orange style?) but the detail is not important seconds into the film when we wake up with Jim. The plot is simple and omits much detail but not to it's disservice. I excitedly arrived at the preview for this looking forward to a tense British horror movie to make me jump with fear.
Jim is rescued by Selena and her friend who tell him what has happened and start a search for other survivors and a quest to find the cure, promised by a military unit stationed in the north. 28 days later Jim awakens from his state to find London deserted and populated only by a group of those infected by rage. However the monkeys are infected with a new developed virus called rage which is contagious by blood or bodily fluid - at the same time Jim lies in a coma. In England a group of animal rights activists break into a research facility to free monkeys.
