Good film. Nice little homage to the "Dead" trilogy, Day of the Triffids, Last Man on Earth and The Omega Man. They're doing a sequel, the imaginatively named 28 Weeks Later.

I thought it ripped the films off moreso.

Especially Night Of The Comet.

Especially Night Of The Comet.

I can't see it myself, I've watched both and both are derivative of films before them. Except 28 Days Later does it better, obviously.

True dat.

The similarities were so close though.

Wake up and a bustling city is basically a ghost town.

Here and there zombies are running around.

Then you've got Day Of The Dead where there's the chained up zombie for experiments that gets loose and all hell breaks loose.

I don't mind rehashes at all. Entertaining is entertaining. 28 Days Later was different simply because of the change of venue and the asshole PETA folks. The movie was very unoriginal though. It should have been called Night & Day Of The Comet Dead 2004

Imo DOD 2005 kicked all their asses thoroughly. Unoriginal also (of course) but what a thrill ride. (could've done without the dumb father having a baby crap though )

Omega Man doesnt rank up there with the zombie theme, they were more like vampires and Charleston Heston was fighting them...That was one of my fave shows growing up and I just recently bought it
Wasnt Day of Triffids about giant plants gone wild?
Last man on Earth, I know I saw it but I dont remember it.

Omega Man is essentially another version of Richard Matheson's story I Am Legend. Last Man on Earth is also a version of this story. Even though I Am Legend is about vampires I think George Romero owes a debt of gratitude to Matheson for the "Dead" trilogy, there are defiently some borrowed themes. Also remember, there are no zombies in 28 Days Later really. They do seem to be more like the vampires of Matheson's novel.

Finally, if you go and read Day of the Triffids (I wasn't referring to the film in my prior post, sorry for any confusion) you will notice a shedload of similarities between the novel and Danny Boyle's film. Different creatures but a lot of the same things happening and themes explored.
