       28 Years Later trailer/Boots by Rudyard Kipling

       Continuing the trend of extremely unnecessary sequels to 20+
       year old movies, 28 Days Later (2002) has a new sequel coming
       out next June - 28 Years Later (even though it's only 23 years
       since the first movie. Whatever.)
       I'm on the fence about watching the sequel, because 28 Weeks
       Later was Not Great, and also the virus from the original movie
       was basically Super Rabies, with the human host bodies starving
       to death in a regular amount of time for a human body to do
       that. So why would the virus last longer than a few weeks
       anyway?
       THAT SAID, holy crap, the trailer! What an awesome trailer! It
       gives away no plot points. It explains... nothing at all. And
       the audio, rather than the usual creepy instrumentals or breathy
       pop cover, is a 110 year old recording of a Rudyard Kipling
       poem, delivered by Broadway-turned-film-star Taylor Holmes.

       Holy fuck, I haven't even seen the other movies and I'm
       generally meh on zombie stuff, but you're not kidding about that
       trailer. Literal chills. Using that audio was a stroke of
       brilliance, that's like 100x more tense and creepy than any
       music could be.
