I got this synposis of the film sent to my e-mail account today:
"Imagine a London where there are no police, there is no government,
there are no Doctors or Nurses, no medical supplies: the city is totally
deserted.
Now imagine that this devastation has been caused by the release of a
powerful, deadly virus, transmitted in a drop of blood and devastating
within seconds, the virus locks those infected into a permanent state of
murderous rage. Within 28 days the country is overwhelmed and a handful
of survivors begin their attempts to salvage a future, little realising
that the deadly virus is not the only thing that threatens them".
Obviously the connotations imply that the virus affects people by making them into vicious killers. However this does not distance the films ideology from the concept of a biological attack on our Capital: a potential threat posed extreme fundamentalists. I don't like it. There is enough woe and misery around the globe at present, without the need for a film company to try and stir more controversy and cash in on the hype. (You end up getting posts like these for a start which I recognise hype up the film-ironic).
We all know that this sort of attack (which rather than turning anyone into killers-just kills people horribly) is possible. There cannot be any entertainment value in this surely?
And yes I may be a hypocrite as i do enjoy watching films about people shooting each other etc but this films seems to be particularly sick if you ask me...
