Horrifying. At one point I genuinely thought a little bit of poo came out.

This was the first great apocalypse film of the century, and it should remembered as such. It's a very important film to come out of Britain as it cements Danny Boyle into the same category as the greats, and sees Alex Garland become a very important representative of British cinema.

Cillian Murphy is superb as Jim; a man who wakes up to an entirely alien world and wanders completely blindly into possibly the most hideous situations without a second thought.

Seeing Jim stroll around an entirely deserted London naively calling 'hello' down the streets is one of the most tense, biting, nervous and (impressively) beautifully composed scenes in cinematic history.

In the other reviews people keep saying that this film is a great brit flim and it is, but fail to mention that 2 of the main characters are in fact IRISH!

This is not only a great brit flick but a good horror as well.The film centre's around a global plague that turn it's victim's into mindless zombie creatures.The central character is a bike courier who awakens in a London hospital only to find the streets of London deserted,very spooky.He eventually finds other survivors and they go on a hunt for a safe haven.The film is very well acted and the plot is well paced and keeps you entertained.The sequel looks good and hopefully will live up to this original.
