\nSo, there seems to be a lot of buzz about the new tacked on alternate ending<\/strong><\/a> to “28 Days Later<\/strong><\/a>.” The complaint that I heard most about the film was about the so-called “happy” ending … and, you know what, it didn’t really bug me that much. The ending was “happy” but not so much so that it killed the horror of what comes before. To me, it didn’t feel like a cheat (you know, like the ending of “Return of the Jedi” or “Fight Club”). So, I am dead curious to see the new “down beat” ending of the film which has been tagged on after the credits as a “what if this happened” ending. Will a pitch-black resolution to the story make the film more powerful? Or is it some clever marketing ploy to get audiences back into the theater seats on more time? I may have to lay down my money again and find out this coming weekend.~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
