28 Days Later
For Halloween, our first London on Screen feature is a shocker of the old school. (Nominate your favourite London movies for inclusion: email us as londonwalksblog@gmail.com.)
Ever complained that London is too crowded? See this movie and you’ll never want to have the city’s streets to yourself again. In Danny Boyle’s relentless horror from 2002, a virus has been unleashed on the capital turning its residents into flesh eating zombies who stalk the deserted streets looking for prey. An overturned bus on a silent Westminster Bridge; a rat-swarmed Blackwall Tunnel; Docklands laid waste: chilling images of a deserted London that will stay in the imagination as long as there are ravens at The Tower. London as you’ve never seen her before: and as you’ll never want to see her again.
(28 Days Later is available on DVD from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. Cert. 18)
