Watched 28 days later last night. It's a really alienating film... I mean, watching it was simply disturbing. Imagine waking up to an empty world- like literally empty... u walk for miles and miles, but u see no one. not a soul. I thought that was extremely tough to film tho. The camera spanned for miles over London and it was lifeless. Brought back memories from a book i read a couple of years back. Titled "The Hot Zone" By Richard Preston, this book basically describes real life events in 1976 when the virus Ebola broke out in Zaire and Sudan.
"Ebola does in ten days what it takes HIV ten years to accomplish."
And i watch this show, 28 days later... and this virus takes 10-15 seconds to infect it's victim... driving the person wild/mad- infusing the blood and distinguishing the infected with bloodshot eyes.

Anyway, it got me thinking about these viral infections and what it means for us today.
Everyone's afraid of nuclear weapons and bombs and all that, but imagine fighting something u can't see, something that kills u from the inside out? makes u crash and bleed? how gruesome and horrifying is that? gah, honestly- if u think SARS was bad? read more about Ebola.

*shudders*
It'll blow u away.
