Comparison between 28 days later and a american werewolf in London.

 
28 days later                      An american werewolf in london


Location
Both films have similiar setting but at different times in the film. 28 days starts out in a urban environment (london) where as an american werewolf in london starts out in the rural countryside. An american werewolf in london finishes in london as 28 days later finishes in the countryside. They both make the locations look empty and desolate giving the impression that theres no one there to help you.

Character
The characters are very different in the two films. In an american werewolf there are two american men who we get to know fairly well at the start of the film as they have lots of humorous conversation. But in 28 days later the characters are very serious like the animal rights activists and the scientist and their characters dont develop as much. Because the characters in an american werewolf in London are kind and fairly laid back we get the impression that they are the perfect victims of a horror film.

Story
In the story the main threat is similar because its a infection like the rage virus they catch in 28 days later as well as the werewolf virus the one man catches in a american werewolf in London. Both of the viruses seen on both film come from some sort of creature. But the story is also different because 28 days later is primarily a apocalypse horror film where as an american werewolf in London is a thriller horror film.
