What Genre would you put 28 Days Later in?
Hi, I am having a bit of a debate at RH What genre would you put 28 days later?
The poll is here I appreciate anyone who would like the vote it seems the majority doesn't think it should be in the zombie genre. 28 days later horror genre poll My explanation here Quote:
Here are some reviews I ran across on the web, I really couldn't find one that said they were not a zombie movie or somewhat related to it. juicy Comingsoon.net New York Times Pus, Drac,me and the 2 Zombie twins ;) have a discussion about this in this thread here |
I'd say as far as the main genre you'd have to classify it as horror and sub-genre it as a thriller maybe. Checked Netflix just for the hell of it and they have it in horror, doesn't really mean much though. I personally don't put much stock in genres because I like a lot of films that transcend them and I really don't feel the need to label a movie. You could call it a pseudo-zombie film but that's simply a sub genre of horror in itself. People being overcome with rage and killing others mercilessly is pretty horrific whether they are "zombies" or not. I liked 28 Days Later, not as much as I thought I would because of the hype and even for different reasons; but I did enjoy it.

I dunno.... maybe as an action/horror type?

I would still put it in the genre of a zombie movie. Although the person might not be medically dead, the person that they once were is no more. So I would consider that person to be dead, maybe not in a literal sense, but he/she is driven by something not human.

i might add though .. it seems like an unnessessary debate .. hardly worth the effort. i catagorize things for the sake of simplicity - being able to find it in my collection ... Other people do it for other reasons - reference books .. etc.. but as far as i'm concerned it's something you do in your subconcious in a way that seems fit to you based on whatever little criteria is floating around your braincase. so my arguement really is : 'for my purposes - i stick it under horror .. because it's shot like a horror film despite the fact that the people arent technically dead - therefore not zombies - whoop de doo." "i put it there.. maybe you do or dont .. it's not affecting my world in the slightest' end of debate. |
Romantic Comedy! Come on women love those witty Brits in uniform.
