You wake up one morning and there's nobody around, Yipee! But hold your horses there buddy, the world has been wiped out by a lethal virus and you are just one of a few struggling survivors doomed to save the remnants of a bleak post-apocalyptic world. 28 Days Later bares much similarity to 'Day of the Triffids' and Boyle's use of digital camera adds to the generally spooky and occassionally terrifying atmosphere.

DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004)
Certification18 Our Rating
George Romero's classic horror satire gets a rather more serious modern day makeover, resulting in a genuinely frightening addition to the zombie genre. The plot remains fairly true to the original, portraying a world where all the seats around Satan's dinner table have been filled, forcing the recently departed to walk the earth instead.

Certification18 Our Rating
In 1984 the law officially recognised 40-odd titles as so-called "Video-nasties" but by the year 2000, as audiences become more and more de-sensitised to bloody carnage and brutal violence, most have been released and often in uncut form as with this gruesome gem from one of the masters of down-and-dirty horror, Lucio Fulci. It certainly is gory and horror fans will relish the opportunity to watch this now legal classic complete with the infamous eye vs wooden splinter scene!
