The 28 Days Later series consists post-apocalyptic zombie-horror films, based on a concept conceived by Alex Garland. The series includes two released films, while multiple sequels are in various stages of development. The plot follows the scientific developments of pathogenic-disease known as the Rage Virus which is intended for chemical warfare, and its rapid effects on the world population after its unintentional release from laboratories. The series follow various survivors, as they fight to escape contaminated areas and reach designated safe zones, while they attempt to stay ahead of the masses of infected people around them.
The first film was well received by critics,[3] and was a box office success.[1] It has been called a horror classic and has a cult following.[4][5] while the movie has also been credited with redefining,[6][7] as well as influencing,[8][9] and expanding the popularity of the zombie horror genre.[10] The 2007 sequel was also a success critically,[11][12] and financially.[2] Several reviews called it a rare worthy and successful sequel,[13][14] with others[dubious – discuss] calling it superior to its predecessor.[15]
The series of films will continue with a trilogy of sequels in various stages of development;[16][17][18] including 28 Years Later which is slated for release on June 20, 2025.[19]
