Sprinting Infected, Sealed Quarantines

Watch these together for the modern outbreak film, where a virus escapes from a lab and the infected sprint instead of shuffling, and the real horror is the cordon: the sealed building, the train you can't get off, the safe zone that fails, the island cut off from the mainland.

Mostly popular, high-energy genre films that are easy to start but often brutal; 28 Days Later is the landmark, and [REC] is the cult find for people who want it claustrophobic.
