The infected are living humans in 28 days later and are controlled by a virus that causes rage. Viewers watch a loving dad turn into an angry monster in less than a minute. Still, once the character became one of the infected, his death was predictable, as the infected are dangerous to the living, and the characters are near a military camp. But, when 28 days later Introducing the soldiers who killed him, the movie gives viewers a scene that is still one of the most disturbing twists ever seen in a zombie movie, and I don’t mind 28 years later will manage to top it.
The military scene is even more disturbing than 28 days later infected
This scene is so terrifying for its realism and detail
The fast-looping flow of the infected, distorted voices, and spurting blood (which can pass the infection with just a drop) are more disturbing than many obviously dead zombies because there is still the tiny hope of a cure. However, when hope is exploited, 28 days later Gives audiences a scene more disturbing than any involving the infected.

28 days later could have gone in any direction after Major West’s discovery
Two endings were filmed for 28 days laterBut either ending would have been relatively predictable, as the only unknown factor was whether Jim would live or die after being shot.
