28 Days Later Theme

When you accidently touch the bottom of a school desk

everybody gangsta until corona virus has enough dna points to upgrade itself

This theme and the movie changed a entire genre which is incredible

Who cares how old this is, it will forever reserve a place in my heart as a perfect song

Turn on the news and play this, Its both comical and terrifying.

I love how this builds and builds and eventually explodes.

This is by far my favorite piece of music ever used in a film, this was the perfect song for this series and gives you every feeling from the movie as well. Amazing song

The 28 days later theme always had a sense of "hopeful hopelessness", if that makes any sense. It's dark, dreary, and anxious. But it's always pushing forward, always looking towards the future and trying to get to the peace that once was. It's a perfect metaphor for both the infected and the main characters journey through the film.

This song is the exact definition of Seeing your own life and world crumble before your very own eyes

It's seems so calm, yet it's so disturbing, sad and nostalgic at the same time, i love it

Best zombie theme to exist. No other game, movie, or show in the genre have dirt on it.

Loneliness, hope, This song is both sad and badass at the same time. If the purpose of art is to evoke emotion then this is a masterpiece.

No song gives me anxiety like this. It still terrifies me.

There really is something about this theme that does make you feel anxious and depressed (in an entertaining way)... very emotive song.

this theme plays in my head every time i fight a horde in "7 Days To Die"

This music helped me a lot when i was a child suffuring alone thanks for the recovery my masterpiece i am 25 right now the new generation keep this forever ❤

When u think eating bats is a good idea

When you accidently slam the door after an argument with your parents:

to me the best zombie theme I ever heard!.

Watched this with my class at school last day before spring break, I was 12 and that was my first experience in horror movies. Listening to this 10 years later is pure nostalgia

This song really does make you feel panicked.......lost........scared. Emotions that fit perfectly for an apocalyptic world. I can imagine a guy walking through a field with a gun anxiously looking for rage zombies then starts running as the music builds.

And once again this song becomes relevant.

This song really does mess with your emotions. It is like the beginning is where you are thinking to yourself, "I survived this battle." Then you are looking around to see the bodies all over the field and then you start thinking, "so, many have died. How did it get to this point?" Then as you survey the field more, you start seeing your love ones. Laying lifeless, you then start feeling a sense of panic that you are alone. And right then, you feel the anger rise and question, "Why were we selected by the hands of death to die this way?!"

This song most definitely gives me sad, disturbing , and calm vibes at the same time . I can picture a panicked rushed guy with a gun in his hand down to his last moments of life on the floor sitting next to meds and a cigarette in his mouth waiting for zombies to approach as the song builds up . Badass as fuck 😎.

Try driving down the highway with this on. It's something you'll probably never get to experience again.

2020: did you like the trailer? 2021: how about an official movie? 2022: are you ready for this?

I haven’t watched 28 days lyre, but I can recognize this is REALLY good zombie music. I felt like writing what this music makes me think of, and how it helps to visualize an apocalypse through song, but I got a bit carried away, but here it is… In the beginning it’s simple, but something’s off, you can’t tell what but the streets feel… empty, there’s no-one around to be seen, you reassure yourself that everythings fine, but wait is that, Blood on the floor?!, it can’t be fine, something is clearly deeply wrong. You continue to wonder, trying to find people, or food, or any other kind of help, or anything*, but all you can find is emptyness, both in the streets, and the soul, there’s not help on the way, no, this is the end, there is no help, no anything, nothing except those *things*, you spotting one in someone else’s house, you thought it was a human at first, but once you got a good look at it you knew otherwise. my god, it resembled a human but it clearly was not, its jaw, it’s rotting flesh, its eyes, it’s *smell*, it’s *EVERYTHING*, this is not one of gods creatures for sure, not even one of devil’s creatures either, it is a mix of man’s evil and careless curiosity, a self inflicted curse that will destroy its enchanter and destroy them, it is a corruption of everything, it makes everything hopeless, everything empty, and you can’t stop feeling it, you can’t stop feeling the emptiness that strikes at every part of one’s core. A part of you wishes that something horrible happens, maybe then you would stop feeling so empty. and then it happens, as the drums kick in you realize that one of those *things have spotted you, they make horrible, horrible shrieks that alert tons upon tons of those amalgamations of flesh start shuffling towards you, you hear the sounds of their groans all around you. This is when you realize, this is the end, there is nothing left after this, no help, no return back to normal, no afterlife, no nothing. You will die trapped here, on this planet. Once so full of life now deserted and turned into a dark reflection of itself, and the worst part about it is that even though you feel the intensity of all the fear and dread, you still feel as empty as before, if anything, you feel more empty. And as you are nearing the end, expecting for a resolution, hoping for a resolution. There’s nothing, because even if you DO survive this, you’ll still die in this, this *place*, and even after your death there will still be nothing left but an apocalypse afterwards.

The scariest thing is this song calms my mind, tells you something about what goes on in my head, 24/7 365, I won't quit and become another statistic.

One of the best, if not the best, post apocalyptic films of all time. Oh I miss the early 00's.

*POV: You’re playing Halo Infection Mode and you’re the last man standing.*

28days later & 28weeks later r such gr8 movies man, if you've never watched them both you're definitely missing out word to my muvah b

The build up is just stunning, one of the most gripping I have ever heard. Stunning crescendo afterwards as well. It just demands to be listened to lots of times. Superb film also, launched a few careers that one (and enhanced others).

If there was the theme for the end of the world, this would be it. The theme of doom itself.

I got BO2 vibes from this theme. The mission where woods finds out who he shot...

"hey bro, we finally got superpowers. now we can be heroes!" me asf:

i remember hearing this many years ago, and for a really long time i didnt know what it was. though i do really want to point out something creepy that happened whenever i remembered it. often at times, some days at a random time i would decide to remember the start of this theme, but when i would think about it, a sudden noise would happen somewhere in the house which seemed to distract me from listening to this. but upon going back to remembering it again, yet another sound happened i think which distracted me away from thinking about this song a bit more, and it often scared me. because of that, i used to not try to think of this theme anymore. but while going through a playlist just now looking for a theme which is often used in memes, ive finally found this again. this theme is amazing, and ive wanted to know what it was for 7 years, and now i finally know what it is.

When you and another guy at the store lock eyes over the last pack of toilet paper

No more toilet paper (song starts playing)

When the snail finally catches up to me after 9,842 years but instead of killing me, he realizes that this whole time we each needed each other to live forever, thus defeating our purpose of ending one of each other's life's. We sit on an asteroid together floating through space contemplating what we do now that all of humanity, and the Earth, is gone.

The most beautiful soundtrack in a movie, ever. I've never forgotten this beautifully haunting theme. It's perfect ❤️‍🔥

When your crush says "you're my best friend"

This is the sound of everything bad happening at once.

i’ve never even watched the movie but everytime i hear this song i just got a feeling of unease and i get covered in goosebumps

Somewhere, a middle aged bald-headed man is having a panic attack.

2:13- When your mom says let's check your computer history to see if you did your algebra homework......

28 days later was soo good but underrated

This movie will always hold a place in my heart. Saw it high in theaters and not only it was a good movie but the soundtrack took me out of body.

one of the best , most basic themes i ever heard . makes you feel eerie i love it

The music feels like it’s chasing you. Like it’s right behind you getting closer.

This soundtrack was used in kick-ass

Playing aniphobia with this banger in my headphones feels great

The spy has already breached our defenses. You've seen what he's done to our colleagues. And worst of all he could be any one of us. He could be in this very room! He could be you, he could be me he could even be...

28 years later. Come on Danny Boyle, we all know you can do it. 🙏

On the bus going to school 0:00 - 2:12 Sees school in the distance 2:13

I love the calmness in the beggining changing into maniacal insanity

And this guy is going to be the superman legacy composer

If this song played when woods shot mason in black ops 2 it would’ve made the scene 1000x better than it already is

I just think of Jim’s revenge in the mansion when I hear this. One of the most powerful scenes I’ve seen in a long time

Normal people : Oh i love this zombies movie Real man : Big Daddy, i will never forget you :(

I'm one of those "essential employees" that can't stay home. My building is mostly abandoned. Only a few of us maintenance people come in on rotating shifts. Normally literally thousands upon thousands of people are in the building at any time. I blare this going into work as I drive across empty parking lot after empty parking lot. It's surreal. I hope you're all staying safe out there. Edit: small update. I'm now the only one coming into my building, save for a couple security guards to make sure I don't have a fever when I come in. Building is otherwise abandoned and empty. Just me maintaining everything so we have a building to come back to. I played this and stuck the phone in my pocket walking around the empty building. Creepy.

Everybody gangsta until this starts playing on January 1st 2021 AND WE GOTTA NEW STRAIN WOOOOOOOOO

Friend: Yo bro we finally got powers, we can be super heroes! Me:

At a certain year , 28 days later will turn into 28 years later and at some point may be 28 years decade later and then 28 centuries later (If youtube will exist) , this theme really makes me feel like working in a lab to create a destructive stuff which could create a chaos , panic, suffering and confusions in humanity in a terrible apocalypse.

Though 28 days later wasn't technically a zombie movie (They weren't dead, they had a virus) I still feel that it was by far the greatest horror film in this genre. The writing, the acting, the cinematography, and oh yeah, the soundtrack, all were perfection. One of the most emotionally gripping and terrifying movies I've ever seen. 10/10.

What do you mean you forgot the chicken nuggets

Finding this movie through a spotify theme remake was the best thing that happened to me this month

People who played BO2 know the shock and sadness that came with this song.

Still waiting for months later

2:13 Your mom says she's almost home, and the house better is clean. You frantically get up trying to clean the whole house, rushing trying desperately to put everything in its place. 3:31: You hear the door open your soul leaves your body. The house is still a mess, she's yelling already, she's on her way to the room to grab the belt and beat your ass.

After just realising that it was Cillian Murphy in this I had to come back and rewatch it. First time since it's release at the cinema. Good times.

Back during the start of the pandemic when everyone was freaking out and storming the grocery stores, my buddy when into the office of the store he worked at and put this on the speakers. He got fired for it.

fucking depressing , but I like it.

Never watched this but the song always creeped me out

7 year old me when I accidentally swallowed a watermelon seed (the seed will grow inside me turning me into a watermelon):

This to me is a very very clever piece of theme / score writing… it totally gives you the feeling of being trapped in an endless loop of unsettling non resolve. Perfectly suits the film 🎥

I love the sound of all the instruments. The sweetness of the bass, the body of the acoustic guitar, the consistency of the drums, the rage of the electric guitar, the aura of the sound effects... and that ostinato, so immersive. This song understand the steps of our decadency in a zombie scenario: - Starts calmly, nobody except for the scientists knwon the inevitable. - It increase the amount of instruments, the society is now in danger and we know it. - Explodes with the electric guitar and the cymbals of the drums, nobody is safe. - Ends with the same instrument it started with, with a similar riff, but slower. The world is in peace, the streets are silent. There is no good or bad end, just a world that, seen from afar, is the same as ever.

28 days later happened in february. The virus spread again in october. Approximately 28 weeks later.

This reminds me of the scene in The Dark Knight where Bruce has to choose between saving Rachel and Harvey. Chills.

The end of something and the beginning of of something right around the corner that’s how I feel listening to this

Cardio challenge: run to this song at midnight

I always thought zombies stories and games and such could be very immersive, gripping and overall pretty awesome, but they weren’t “scary” for me before I saw this movie. The masterful way it was shot, edited and acted already makes this one of the greatest genre redefining horrors of all time... but this theme carries it to truly legendary movie status. Easily the best zombie film ever made in my opinion.

After a decade I finally find this once again!

If the feelings of *_"Ominous", "Dread"_* and *_"Defeat"_* had a background music, this would be it.

One of the greatest films ever made. The ability to capture such a powerful set of emotions by bringing this idea of a dreadful, bleak state of reality to life in such an authentic way is astounding. The emotion from the songs also are so compelling. It's like that arrangement of musical notes on those specific instruments was always meant to go with this. Here's a perfect metaphor: its like the music and the movie are two different languages that are saying the same thing when you translate them! And going further, the movie/song conveys the PRECISE emotion and tunnels its way into the depths of your soul to inform you of something not quite attainable with the intellect. It's beyond intellect. It touches the nerve of the soul and pulls you deep down the well of feeling. The whole project: absolutely extraordinary!

2:13 when the quiet kid in the wheelchair starts running

Never has a piece of music created such a sense of foreboding as this does.

The one that make this is now going to do a Superman movie's Score... Awesome

This music is so unsettling.. it's a good composition but I might die during sleeping if I listen to this (while sleeping)

Holy crap ive been looking all over for this song I finally found it

I LOVE THIS THEME!!!! I’m so glad I gave this movie a chance like my mom asked me to

Heard this somewhere and forgot what it was from. Love the way it builds into something nearly frantic and grim.

When you thought the quarantine was gonna be 28 days... *later*

One of the best horror/zombie movie type i ever seen

That constant sound really makes you think about how time is actually passing, and how something is going on.

0:30 Love the little chime sound only done twice in the whole song. Adds so much by doing so little 💯

The infected in 28 Days Later make zombies look as intimidating as rainbows and fluffy bunnies. Infected>Zombies

Watching or listening to ebola hysteria on the television with this In the background is Almost haunting.

Guys it’s been 28 months since the start of coronavirus

Everyone gangsta until Covid patients start rising from the dead.

This theme defined the bleakness of the 28 Universe. You can feel the sense of hopelessness, loneliness and overall depressing tone of the theme that fits so well with 28 Days and 28 Weeks. Bravo to the composer of this.
