The Infected take Paris
Inspired by : 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later
As well as the chance to use the City of Love as the arena for some intense action scenes, we find out through flashback what happened to the ones that got away at the end of 28 Weeks...
Surviving members of the US army have made it from London's District 1 to Paris, and have only a few clues to help them find out what happened to the escapees, whilst fending off attacks from the Parisian Rage victims.
The Virus Goes West
Inspired by : High Noon (1952)
A disparate band of survivors have been living in a deserted town, which seems to have been unaffected by the Rage outbreak. Living off the land and any supplies that they can find locally, it's a fairly peaceful existence for the survivors, which does not last long.
When the group get wind of a zombie invasion that'll soon be heading their way, it's up to the enigmatic 'Sheriff' to lead the team against their undead attackers, as the town prepares for a tense siege.
The Rage
Inspired by : The Road (2009)
The effects of the Rage virus have spread throughout the world. This story follows a father and son team who try to make their way across the bleak, post-infection landscape, with the hope of finding some kind of salvation.
The harsh conditions offer up little food or clean water, and are as dangerous as the Rage victims. The struggling central duo also have to contend with the survivors who have lost their minds as a result of the unendurable circumstances.
Prison Break
Inspired by : The Rock (1996)
As the virus spreads worldwide at a rapid speed, it's not long before Rage has gone Stateside. When a suspected case is diagnosed in one of the highest-security prisons in San Fransisco, the place goes into an emergency lockdown.
There's one inmate who isn't going to sit around and wait to get infected, though. Wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, our hero decides to bust himself out before it's too late.
Enraging of the Body Snatchers
Inspired by : Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
In the 28 months following the initial outbreak, a vaccine has been pioneered and dispensed around the world, to prevent the further spread of the Rage virus.
In a small town, the survivors try to piece together their lives and move on, but a weaker strain of the virus is still present in the air, with any new victims being affected by the zombification process extremely slowly. Paranoia quickly spreads, as more and more people become blank, lifeless versions of themselves.
The Infected
Inspired by : The Fly (1986)
28 months after the Rage virus has been safely contained, one man gets more than he bargained for when he shares a decontamination pod with a flake of zombie skin. At first he is rejuvenated by the virus he carries, but before long it starts to destroy his life.
District 28
Inspired by : District 9 (2009)
The infection reaches South Africa, where the Rage victims are forced to live in segregated slums. A team is charged with evacuating all the infected from the shanty towns after the government decides it no longer wants them there.
Fortunately the political undertones don't get in the way of a spectacular action blowout, as we see all manner of innovative weapons deployed to annihilate the misunderstood zombies and some of the more dastardly humans.
Twenty-Eight
Inspired by : Nine (2009)
After revitalising zombies by giving them super-speed, the series makes the most of this new-found sprightliness by wrangling them into a dancing troupe.
With arty black-and-white flashbacks to the pre-infection days, this Oscar-baiting musical attracts a suprisingly A-list cast, including Daniel Day-Lewis (whose methods for getting into character are a bit much in this instance).
