13. 28 Days Later (2002)

Brains!  Brains!  Brains!  The undead’s desire for brains and other human flesh is one of the most famous tropes in all of horror.  But in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later, the flesh-eating cheese has been cut out for something grimmer and more realistic.  After a rage-inducing virus is released on the public, Great Britain finds itself the center of a zombie outbreak.  But these aren’t ordinary zombies, no, these are rage-fueled runners that are not so interested in how you taste, but simply want to tear you apart.  After a man wakes up in an abandoned and ransacked hospital, he must rely on himself and a small group of survivors to navigate the ruined city and find safety.
