With an unfamiliar cast to give a more realistic approach, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland (of The Beach fame) have created a chilling apocalyptic horror. Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakes from a coma in hospital to find the place deserted and London a ghost town. He wanders around aimlessly unsure of what disaster has occurred until he unwittingly awakens a group of 'madmen' who chase him. He is rescued by Selena (Naomie Harris) who tells him the truth - that a deadly virus called Rage has infected most of the population, turning them into killers. So they team up and begin the search for a safe haven and maybe some answers too. Very much in the ilk of The Omega Man or John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids, this kind of end of the world scenario is not to everyone's taste but it is fantastically made, totally chilling and offers a disturbingly prophetic nightmare vision. This extended version of Boyle's thriller adds a different ending to the theatrical release.

I absolutely adored this movie! Of all the horror movies I've seen, it's top of the list! Cillian Murphy (known as Jim in the movie) wakes up only to find that the whole of Britain has been ripped apart by a deadly virus turning good people into blood-crazed zombies. This movie had everything in it and was definitely very moving.

I absolutely love this film, the full scale devastation of the UK is beyond belief. When Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma he is naked in a hospital bed, wondering what he is doing there. When he looks through the window in the door he sees a deserted hospital. He leaves the hospital and walks helplessly around london but no one is to be seen, however, when the sun goes down it's a whole different story...
