# 28 Days Later - Parental Guide This R-rated horror film features intense violence, strong language, and frightening imagery as survivors navigate a virus-infected London. The graphic scenes and relentless tension make it unsuitable for children and most young teens. Parents should reserve this for mature viewers comfortable with serious horror content.

Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected.
