There were actually four, but only three were filmed.

Its only flaw is being british. When are you people gonna learn to make your films look and sound good as well as tell a great story. Ya got the story part down, but the rest looks like a college film project.

Personally, I'd rather have a good story with less than perfect production, than millions of dollars worth of special effects and no story at all :)

Therein lies the flaw of the Ring remake, and subsequently . . .hollywood.


Too much flash, not enough substance.

Heh, i would have been just a little bit pissed at those damn marines. And the bit with him walking through London as its deserted was damn cool.

Yeah, i've gotta side with Ren on that one...

Also, i saw the 'happy' ending, with them signalling the pilots with the big 'HELLO'. What are the other endings like (i assume they all start at the 2nd '28 days later' bit)?

No.

In the alternative theatrical ending, he dies in the hospital they break into and the kid asks "What do we do now?" and the chick says "We move," and they leave.

In another one, he dies, and it's just the two women who end up doing the whole "HELLO" thing.

In another one, it's way too complicated to explain, but it breaks off at the point the dad becomes infected and involves trying to keep him alive.


Ceel; you can't have one as well as the other. Hollywood is an all-consuming force; once you Hollywood-ize a movie, all else is lost and it becomes an exercise in "MORE SPECIAL EFFECTS". The bastardization of the new Star Wars movies is more than proof of that.

There's something to be said for old-fashioned film making. It seems to have a positive effect on the process.

Ahh, i have to say i preferred the current ending then. Although that last one sounded interesting, but the fact remains that it would change a damn lot of the movie...

Is there anywhere we can get access to those endings?

Having just bought the film on TV, its good @#%$.

The film has been shot expceptionally well.

That's the whole cool thing about majority of well known and serious Zombie films, they're a great study in human interaction.

Flugging great stuff.

Lup, rent or buy the special edition DVD. It has all of them.
