Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later (2002) reframed post-apocalyptic horror for the digital video era, with Alex Garland's script and Anthony Dod Mantle's DV cinematography rendering an evacuated London in grainy, handheld immediacy. Released theatrically in Japan on August 23, 2003 under the title 28日後... via 20th Century Fox, the film arrived in the local market during a wave of UK and Asian horror crossover interest. The Japanese poster lays out the infection timeline (Day 01 Exposure through Day 20 Devastation) over the Rage-virus eyes motif, pairing the iconic biohazard key art with a small silhouetted Cillian Murphy under Big Ben. A foundational early-2000s zombie horror poster of interest to Boyle and Garland collectors.
