So 28 Days Later was great...and Old School was okay. Not as funny as director Todd Phillips' previous college comedy, Road Trip - one of the funniest movies of recent years - but good for a few laughs. I attended NYU/Tisch at the same time Phillips did, but I can't recall seeing any of his student films or taking any classes with him. The thing with film school is that you always wonder who will end up doing what, who will succeed and who won't (most won't, unfortunately), and it's great - a relief, almost - when someone does succeed...even if you can't remember exactly who the guy was.

Anyways. 28 Days is a brilliantly produced zombie flick, shot on DV, and filled with startling images of an almost deserted, post-apocalyptic England. It's tense, exciting, gory - and it's got the scariest (and fastest) zombies I've ever seen. I now know that there is little as disconcerting as zombies who can run. It just opened theatrically in the US, but you can get it on DVD from the UK if you have a region 2 or multi-region player - I did. Definitely worth getting if you're a horror fan.  ¶ 22:20
