A powerfully iconoclastic Dawn-meets- Day of the Dead hybrid (written by Alex Garland, author of The Beach), this triumphantly executed piece of modern horror has genuine shock value with its down-and-dirty violence and disturbing authenticity. Cillian Murphy as Jim Naomie Harris as Selena Brendan Gleeson as Frank Megan Burns as Hannah Christopher Eccleston as Major Henry West Noah Huntley as Mark Stuart McQuarrie as Sergeant Farrell Ricci Harnett as Corporal Mitchell Leo Bill as Private Jones Luke Mably as Private Clifton Junior Laniyan. As a highly contagious virus spreads across the country, locking its victims into a permanent state of homicidal rampage, four individuals who have so far escaped infection (including Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris) have to fight off the deranged hordes. From eerie vistas of deserted London to unnerving views of Manchester reduced to burning rubble, this Dogme-driven apocalyptic nightmare from director Danny Boyle is a tense, exciting and terrifying horror. Selena and Hannah are perfect examples of how women can be kick-ass supporting characters in a movie where the lead character is a man.
