In an otherwise excellent, superlative horror movie, one of the best, 28 Days Later did contain some logical weaknesses that perhaps are required in horror movies. The "candle" and "tunnel" scenes are both plot points that I consider really, really dumb, hocky and downright required script elements of horror movies but I wish they'd figure some other smart way around them.

For as intelligent as these people seem, the father in particular, it's just irritating to know that you don't light "candles" for the boggie man will come and that you don't (just like "Scary Movie" parody) don't go into tunnels and somehow bounce on top of wrecked cars. For as intelligent as this movie is, it still needed some fine-tuning. Anybody for neatly presented grocery store in the time of a holocaust? Oops.

But no, this movie really shines way above any in recent years (except for those audience members that slept through it).
