This article contains spoilers for "28 years later".

It may sound strange - for those of us who lived through it, it is strange to remember - but even before "28 days later" it was released in 2002 in the UK (and 2003 in the United States), the zombie subconier was everything, but dead. Director Dani Boyle and writer Alex Garland predict that the creatures they created are not technical zombies since the release of the film, but still the film Rage works in a very similar way to the zombie version created and popularized by George A. Romero in "The Night of the Living Dead" in 1968. While the Zombie Subger Films never stopped after the release of Romero's first film, he suffered a lull during the 1990s, as filmmakers of the genre avoided the typical tropes inherent in the subgenre in favor of experimentation, as "" My "" man ". So, despite their own differences from Zombie Lore, "28 days later" for all intentions and purposes they revitalized the so -called traditional film of the apocalyptic zombies.

The cultural impact of "28 days later" became widespread and significantly quite quickly. Although the Resident Evil Games gave up the feature film version, also released in 2002, Boyle's film seemed to have an immediate influence, as only a few years later in 2004, Zac Snyder's "Dawn" was released, causing enough, which caused "Romo". "The Walking Dead" by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore started their legendary race as a comic book in October 2003, creating the TV series of the same name, which lasted 11 seasons and still has spin-off-emissions today. Maybe the zombie's Renaissance would always happen, but "28 days later" undoubtedly knocked it out.

As a whaling of this heritage, as well as respect for the whole thing that defines the genre that helped to inspire, The latest installment, "28 years later", They watch Boyle and Garland referring to several zombie films (or zombies), games and shows made in the 23-year-old nap between "Days" and "Years", and these include zombie movies, as well as video game and HBO's "Last of Us".

"28 days later" inadvertently began with a furious debate among horror fans and other diverse gays when it comes to zombie speed. The film revealed the idea that zombies should not only be the holding, exchanging spirits of Romero's films and imitators, but they could be just as scary if they were hyperactive and aggressive. The film that has firmly established this as an option for Chinese zombies, not just infected defenses was Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead" and the Jameseshes Gun ", that used the technique and thus opened the way for Movies to follow as "World War" and "Train to Busan".

As a little respect for the role of Snyder and Gun, in further legitimization of "28 days later" within the framework of the Zombie Canon, Boyle and Garland introduce a pregnant infected (Sali Crosland), reminiscent of a character in the "Dawn of the Dead" named Luda (Ina Korobkina). Both characters are used to metaphorically display the cycle of life by continuing in a world surrounded by death, although this metaphor ends in the opposite directions in both films. At Zora, the baby of Luda really becomes zombined after birth, resulting in other characters to kill him as soon as they are born. Meanwhile, in "28 years later", the offspring of the infected are not infected at all, causing young Spike (Alfie Williams) to see his protection and care. He refuses to allow Swedish NATO officer Eric (Edwin Reading) to kill him and eventually leaves him with his father Jameimi (Aaron Taylor-Nsonson), along with the rest of his community in the village island to be grown in his absence.

While the inclusion of a movie birth scene in the neighborhood of the zombie is probably Kirana towards the remake of the "Dawn of the Dead", Boyle and Garland, can also be riffered Peter Acksexon's "Dead Live" since 1992. In that film is a woman, Matchavish (Brenda Kendall), who has an orbed attempt with another zombie and quickly gives birth to a grotesque zombie baby, a creature that continues to make another zombincified chaos. Given this, "28 years later" seems to deliberately undermine what can be called a trophy of pregnancy in zombie films.

Who knows whether Danny Boyle is a very gamer, but Alex Garland certainly seems to be. Not only is Garland Due to the adjustment of the "Elden Ring" game for the big screenBut he discovered During the discussion with Neil Drakman earlier this year That they both played and is a big fan of the video game "The Last of Us" of Drakmann. Drakman, along with Craig Mazin, continued to make a version of the game for television, but these are the editions of games that seem to have inspired Garland when it comes to pening "28 years later". As Garland told Drakmann during their interview:

"I was so inspired by your job." The last of us "is better than '28 days later. The job for "the last of us", I was like, this is much more sophisticated.

In this spirit of friendly creative competition between artists working with the same genre and themes, Garland created an analogue of the game ELOEL (Troy Baker) and Eli (Ashley Nsonson) in the film Jameimi and Spike. There are "Lonely Wolf and Cub" dynamic Within every pairing, ELOEL and Eli were unrelated, but still treated with each other as a father and daughter, while Jameimi and Spike are a biological father and son. Both a series of characters prefer to hunt their contagious prey with bows and arrows, something that seems to be practiced for ELOEL and Eli and is more for the troubles and skill for Jameimi and Spike. That's why Spike's machine becomes disappointed with his father, developing Eli's possible disappointment with her adopted father for various reasons. So, while the games and the film go in their own ways, each fan of one will find something he wants in the other.

These allusions are not the only ones present in "28 years later"; The concept of The rest of the world continues in a way similar to our real world, while isolated UK has retired to post-apocalyptic society feels like a cousin to M. Nightlife "village". For example. However, in giving Snyder and "the last of us" particularly point to not only a simple way of time, but how "28 days later" has covered culture, despite the franchise consisting of only three films. As the "years" are starting to be overcome at the box office this weekend and "28 years later: Bone Temple" is ready for next year, we may need to prepare for a whole new rush of fun zombie Times.
