Post-apocalyptic horror film '28 Years Later' is doing well at the box office, with $100 million in revenue in its first two weeks. The latest installment in the horror franchise also renewed interest in the previous films, with '28 Weeks Later' showing up in various streaming charts. The original '28 Days Later' is less widely available due to licensing issues, so many have turned to pirate sites instead.

Piracy is a service issue.

Piracy is also an ethics issue, for everyone enriching spotify while it's CEO invests €600m in military start-ups

Oh hey, thanks for the reminder I have to get 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later before going to watch 28 Years Later.

Did this but 28 weeks is garbage and I gave up

Fortunately 28 years doesn't make a single reference to 28 weeks, so you really can just enjoy it as a sequel to 28 days.

Oh yeah, I started seeding it when there was a surge of people wanting to rewatch it before the new one and it wasn't on streaming sites yet. Easily my biggest ratio, nearly 2000 ratio now.

I started writing this comment about how my highest seeding ratios seem random, but actually now that i look at it i do see a pattern: YIFY versions of older movies. Maybe those are the ones less available? Some possibly are public domain?

I mean, it's the preferable timeline to what we're experiencing now in the US.

ProTip: 28 Days is not a shorthand for 28 Days Later lol

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

and 27 dresses is not a prequel

Can't wait for the Linux ISO to hit the high seas

If you like this movie. Also check out 28 weeks later!

I wasn't a fan of that one. It wasn't terrible, just not as creative and original as 28 Days Later. That said, yes, I would 100% watch it again lol

[–] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

The opening was absolutely amazing and at least that part should be watched.

Is there a story for why latest did not use the epic masterpiece score used in first 2 movies?
