When I went to theaters a few years back to see 28 DAYS LATER, I had read beforehand that I should wait until after the credits for a little surprise. Sure enough, I was treated to a much darker alternate ending (prefaced cryptically by the words “What If…”) that I far preferred to the sunnier “official” ending. When the movie came to DVD, I had hoped it would retain the structure I saw (which made it appear that the happy ending was only a dream rendered horribly moot by the post-credit scene) but, alas, now the darker ending was not incorporated into the film at all, pre- or post-credits—it was only available as a separate menu selection on its own. Which brings us to the hi-def now—does anyone own, or know of, an import Blu-ray version of 28 DAYS LATER that retains the film in the edit I originally saw, or does the scene with
exist only as a separate special feature now in all Blu-ray releases worldwide?
