- Derelict area, cold windy,wet.

28 Days Later
- In a lab with monkeys in cages.
- Men and women working for a company (not sure which)
- Lab assistant tells them not to open cages.
- Ignored the assistant who told them the monkeys are drugged with rage.
- People in a lab.
- Dressed in black
- Killing takes place in lab with lights on
- No gripping music.
They both define themselves as horror films within the first 10 minutes but in different ways.
The opening scene in American Werewolf in London, is in a derelict area with just hills. It all seems fairly innocent until it starts to get dark and the talk on the moon. the moon brings the anticipation of what is going to happen to them. Especially with the weather changing as well. The werewolf implies it might be a horror film.
28 Days later is set in a completely different surrounding with monkeys in cages and men and women walking around in the light. You realise it becomes a horror film when a cage is opened despite the warning from the lab assistant. the monkey rips apart one of the women and that is the point you think it is a horror film.
