28 Days Later (2003) Review

28 Days Later is not a terrible movie. Far from it, actually. But, it does not live up to expectations. On the imdb cover it says "scary as hell", and on my dvd cover "the scariest film since the exorcist". I am not one to watch horror films, because I get scared easily. So technically, this was my first horror movie. (Imdb counted Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, and Interview with the Vampire as Horror but I didn't). At the end of the film, how scared was I? Not scared at all. Also, many people consider it not to be a zombie movie. And while I ultimately disagree with them, I can kind of their point. Most of the movie is not people running from zombie or fighting zombies. There are only 2 or 3 short scenes and 1 long scene about zombies. Most of the movie is about survivors bonding with other survivors, which became boring eventually, because besides Jim, I didn't like any of the characters. And with very little action, it's not the exciting, scary, thriller I was promised. The effects are awful, and the picture is very unclear. It was okay, but was it worth the watch?
Movie Rating: C+

Does this look clear to you?
