The Movie That Introduced the World to Fast Zombies Before 28 Days Later
In the year 2002, the movie “28 Days Later” made its debut in cinemas, rapidly gaining favor among horror enthusiasts due to its rapid-fire action and swiftly attacking zombies. The film’s themes of contagion and hidden political critique earned it acclaim from both critics and fans as a work that redefined the genre and revitalized the zombie movie. However, prior to “28 Days Later”, the 1980 release “Nightmare City”, directed by Umberto Lenzi, had already escalated the intensity and brutality of the zombie genre while also offering commentary on the growing nuclear arms race, setting a precedent for the genre’s evolution.
