They Are Infected....WITH RAGE!!!

First of all, apologies for the egregious use of exclamation points, but they were required. Only extra punctuation can adequately convey the level of fear conjured by an english scientist with a mouth full of bad teeth and a heart full of dread at the thought that his RAGE INFECTED monkeys would release their dire seed into the world.

Yes, I watched 28 Days Later last night. As zombie movies go, it was pretty good. Ok, technically, they're not zombies, they're humans infected with RAGE. They differ from zombies in other crucial ways as well. For instance, rather than dying, the critters in 28 Days Later go from Regular Folks to Crazed Red-Eyed Killing Machines very quickly. There's no shambling transition from death to undeath; it's 0 to KILL in about 30 seconds flat, which leads to an interesting divergence from the typical zombie flick, namely, the amount of time a character has to mourn his/her friend/family member before being required to hack/shoot/flambe their newly homicidal pal.

Normally you'd have your requisite minute or two to agonize over whether They Are Really Gone, and to plumb the depths of the character's Luke Skywalker Moment: is there still good in them, or have they really been consumed by the Dark Side?

In other news, a zombie Star Wars movie would be awesome. ZOMBIE CHEWBACCA. I think that's all I need to say.
