Obviously the subject of some kind of test, the chimp is hooked up to a monitoring device until a group of masked activists enters the lab to free the animals. "28 Days Later" opens with a chimpanzee watching a bank of TV screens on which a series of violent images plays out. It's "The Last Man on Earth" meets Romero's "Night of the Living Dead," with the shaky video-cam of "The Blair Witch Project" thrown in for heightened - and particularly ugly - realism. Here, Boyle exploits the salient late-20th-century theme of contagion to reimagine modern England as a post-apocalyptic necropolis. Viewers who idolize directors such as George Romero and the lesser-known Dario Argento may find merit in Danny Boyle's contemporized take on those directors' films. Blood spurts, gushes, drips, sprays and otherwise runs thick in "28 Days Later," a 21st-century version of the zombie movies of the 1960s.
