This film represents society to its extreme. People killing people, and how humanity is violent, and how it will eventually collapse upon itself from its own hatred. And also, how far we are willing to go, to protect the ones we love and care about. This film also displays the beauty of the world no matter all the bad things that happened. The "Rage" virus may just be a metaphorical representation of the anger in human society and culture, just sped up to an extreme. (Or was it?)
True, traditional Zombies should not be running. They should shuffle and lumber towards their victim - makes it that much scarier to underestimate their danger and maybe take them as less of a threat until it's too late. Reference - Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead - they may have been clumsy but once they got a hold of you, you were screwed. Much more effective than running, super Zombies. Just my old-school purist take.
when i think about 28 days later i think of Darwin's theory to the extreme. like the zombies (dominant) being the strong and humanity(victim)being the weak being picked. the movie illustrates how Darwinism happens all the time in society (murderers executing the weak just because they are weaker) they just used zombies and humans as metaphors for society.
