HELLO? 28 DAYS later....This British gem is on cable now and worth any aspiring filmaker's study. Director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) wisely doesn't try to explain the situation, just has his characters deal with it. Rich commentary about the human condition is slipped into the mix, where the dialogue for the first half hour consists of one character saying "Hello?" as he searches for life amid the ruins.
MUST see for you film and horror fans alike.
