Imagine waking up from a month-long coma after taking a nasty spill on your bicycle, only to find that you are alone in the hospital. Alone on your street. Alone in your entire city. That's what happens to Jim at the beginning of 28 Days Later, and that's only the beginning of his nightmare. When he finally meets other human beings, Frank (Brendan Gleeson) and Selena (Naomie Harris), their struggle to figure out how to carry on in the wasteland that Britain has become takes them to dark and frightening places.
Before he was the Scarecrow in Batman Begins, Cillian Murphy suffered through this zombie apocalypse engineered by director Danny Boyle, who reinvigorated the genre with his depiction of fast and strong creatures that were technically still alive rather than the slow-moving shambling undead of George A. Romero's classics. Romero himself says he got the idea for creating zombies from the Richard Matheson novel I Am Legend, which is why there's an eerie similarity between Will Smith's recent star turn and Boyle's terrifying and disturbing work that preceded it.
If you're ready for a true and deep scare that will stay with you for a long time, watch 28 Days Later.
