THE RAGE VIRUS (Infected, History + 28 Days and Weeks Later) EXPLAINED

It’s been over two decades since Danny Boyle and Alex Garland unleashed 28 Days Later, and let’s face it—it changed everything. The slow, shambling zombies of old were replaced with fast, primal nightmares infected by the now-legendary Rage Virus and turned into humans driven into a mindless, murderous frenzy.

In this video, we’ll take an in-depth look at the Rage Virus itself—what it is, how it works, and why it’s such a horrifyingly believable creation, with references to the 28 days later comics. Then, we’ll break down 28 Days Later, the film that started it all—how it introduced us to a post-apocalyptic Britain overrun by the infected and explored the terrifying fragility of human nature when society collapses. Finally, we’ll break down 28 Weeks Later, the sequel that expanded the story, gave us even bigger stakes, and proved that humanity’s greatest threat is often its own inability to learn from the past.
