Supposing the military was not entirely overwhelmed before the extent of the crisis became clear (zombie movies generally take care to ignore how hard it would be to manage this), this sort of zombie would be incredibly easy to stop, as every tactic or technique for annihilating people in the open would work just fine against zombies.Īnd while we're at it, the rapid onset of symptoms (literally seconds) makes it somewhat harder to spread because there isn't really a case of unknowing carriers penetrating established safe perimeters. Unlike normal zombies, the ones in 28 days later have no special and arbitrary immunity to weaponry of any sort. Add rage zombies to the mix and it's no wonder that England entered apocalypse mode by 28 days. It doesn't take long for a crisis to erupt once the basic infrastructure to support society breaks down. Fuck it I need to feed my family and if I have to start looting so be it. Day 4: You're hungry, you're thirsty, no power, no help.You start eyeballing the locked grocery store and wonder how hard the window is to smash. Your phone is dead and you're fucked in an emergency if something happens. Day 3: Your food is gone, your water is running out.That water in the tub starts looking like drinking water instead of flushing water. You cook all the perishable food in your fridge and freezer because it will hot in another day. Day 2: You start to wonder when the power comes back on.If you're smart you fill the bathtub with water using the residual pressure in the line so you have something to dump in the toilet to force a flush. You have a BBQ with the neighbours, light some candles at the night, play some board games with the kids etc. Imagine you have a power outage in your city: Once the basic infrastructure to supply people with food and water breaks down, shit will go to pot pretty damn quick. "Civilization is two meals and twenty-four hours away from barbarism." It is not a factual statement on the precise scheduling of societal collapse in the event that the power goes out. That is straight up evil.Įdit: My timeline is for demonstrative purposes to explain my point on how situation can go from "normal" to "bad" when our day to day infrastructure goes away. But we're talking 3 weeks before they started. On a larger time scale, you could see desperate men doing something so wicked. It took about 20 days (give or take) for them broadcast a lure for women. This means only three weeks passed before the soldiers turned rapist. So, even if that all occurred within one day (and it's far more feasible that it occurred over a couple), that still leaves about 3 weeks between the infection actually doing major damage to England and Jones' attempt at suicide. Obviously the infection did not take out England in one whole day since there had to be enough time for people to put up the pictures/letters in the public square and for newspapers to announce an evacuation. Let's say there's 32 days since the initial infection at this point. He said he was going to kill himself because there is no future." This of course is when it is revealed the soldiers' broadcast is all about luring women. Major West tells Jim "8 days ago I found Jones with a gun in his mouth. We're right around 31-32 days after the initial outbreak.
Frank is killed, and the soldiers take in Jim, Selena and Hannah. Frank says that the trip to the blockade could take about 2-3 days. Mark is then killed that evening, and Jim and Selena seek shelter at Frank and Hannah's apartment. He meets Mark and Selena who take him back home the next day. Precisely 28 days later, Jim wakes up to a different world. The film opens with the genesis of the rage virus. Having watched it over the weekend for the billionth time, I just caught something I hadn't considered yet.
