I'm still chuckling over "very original". Very funny line. The invitation to explore many many more of this genre will show how funny that line really is.

FX3

The scene of the hospital is very much like The Day of the Triffids, where Howard Keel awakes and finds that he is alone and has to make sense of the situation. Both films show a wreaked double decker bus. The earlier film shows a London Transport RT bus and the later an RM/Routemaster. I also thought the scene when they stock up with supplies at a supermarket in London and the music reminded me of The Dawn of the Dead (1978). However, when they stop on route to re-fuel as in DD, I thought the similarities were a bit too near. The acting by Naomie Harris was very poor indeed.

28 weeks later also goes down hill and becomes even more ludicrous, there were so many things wrong with it, but the scene down in the underground were stretching things to say the least. With all the possible places in London, you bump into your Zombie dad, Robert Carlye, down in Charing Cross tube station, what are the odds of that happening. Also after 28 weeks you would need scuba gear to use the London Underground because it would be completely flooded, as every day millions of gallons of water have to be pumped away to stop it flooding.

Third Man

I think The Seventh Victim is head and shoulders above all the other Val Lewton produced horrors of that period in fact it's more like a very dark thriller--- it very much reminds me of a Cornell Woolrich type story.

There's a box set which covers most of the important Lewton produced RKO titles 'The Val Lewton Horror Colection' some pretty good ones on there but some real stinkers as well but nethertheless all very interesting especially in mood and photography.
