Had to look up why digital images looked different those days!
tldr; CMOS sensor (which reads individual pixels) is what's used in your camera today

Yeah most of them looked very bad. I think it wasn't until Collateral (2004) that I thought one actually looked good.

Romero's undead aren't scary because of their numbers. They're scary because death is inevitable. There's no waiting for any "infected" to die off, leaving the area safe again, because this isn't limited to an infection. And he didn't call them "zombies" because that's a word from Haitian voodoo, it was only after Romero that people started applying that word to what he called "ghouls".

Oh yeah. By the time of the making of Collateral the size of the CCD sensors in digital cameras had increased (for the better) compared to 28 Days Later though Collateral still needed to boost the lighting especially for the interior of the taxi: https://theasc.com/magazine/aug04/collateral/page2.html

I’ve always preferred the slower zombies because those films can dig deeper in to the social commentary and the darker sides of humanity and be more about community. Sure the idea of faster ones are scarier but I’m less interested in the scares and more interested in the humans anyway.

Great movie. Well 2/3rds a great movie. It's the exact same issue i had with Sunshine where the last act doesn't give the crescendo the movie needed.

Can we talk about 28 Years Later?
I can’t say that I liked it 😕 Tonally, it’s a real departure from the previous two films. Also, I don’t think I understood a lot of the motivation behind the things that happened; the Alphas, the pregnant woman, the doctor, the ending…. Like, I was more confused than anything 🤔😵💫
I guess there’s going to be another one, but it would have to seriously break the naming convention unless it’s set 280 years in the future…

I mean it’s called 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
The 28 Years will be its own trilogy
