28 Years Later Would Finally Justify Danny Boyle’s Controversial 28 Days Later Ending Change

With 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle can finally justify why 28 Days Later‘s ending was controversially changed before its release. Written by Alex Garland, 28 Days Later follows the exploits of a group of survivors who navigate their world after an incurable virus turns nearly the entire human population into zombies-like creatures. Despite being a part of an oversaturated genre, 28 Days Later was revolutionary because it not only portrayed zombies in a different light but also adopted a quasi-documentary style that made its post-apocalyptic drama and action feel incredibly real.
