What's your favorite horror film?
My favorite horror film is "28 weeks later". I don't really like watching horror films because then I can't sleep at nigh time and I imagine things that don't exist.
This film is based on an infected apocalypse in the UK, people start being infected and day after day more people become infected, the USA helps the British soldiers to close the zones and keep the inhabitants that are still alive in a extremely secure place. The film is majorly based in a family that is surviving at the outskirts of London, but a boy arrives running and enters the house, but the infected people have followed him so they enter the house and kill nearly everyone, only Don, the dad of a boy and a girls who are in a school trip in Spain survives.
When the children arrive from the trip his father explains them what has happened exactly, his son and his daughter are so unhappy that they escape from the security zone and go to their house to get some photos from their mother to remember her, while escaping a soldier sees them leaving the protected area, so he send people to go and get them, they find them in the house with their mother, but his mother is infected and in a bad estate. They get them all, including the mother, they investigate her, Don goes to were his wife is being investigated and says her sorry for abandoning her in the house, he kisses her and gets infected because of the saliva transmission, he escapes and kills nearly everyone in the zone.
