Film Fans Urged To Check Their Collection For Rare DVD Now Worth £300
Film fans are being urged to check their collections for a rare DVD that is now being sold for £300.
In the world of streaming platforms and on-demand services, owning DVDs is becoming less and less common.
Viewers can watch whatever they like at the click of a button, while also in the comfort of their own home.
However, some films that are nowhere to be found, not even on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
This is exactly what is happening with one DVD as fans are scrambling to find a copy – no matter the cost.
The highly anticipated 28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle, also known for the critically acclaimed Trainspotting, is set to be released this June.
The latest in the horror and post-apocalyptic franchise is set 28 years after the first one was released, which is now one of the most influential horrors of the 21st century.
Even when the trailer dropped, many fans were already terrified, calling it the ‘best in years.’
Fans are also excited to see Boyle return as the franchise director, as Juan Carlos Fresnadillo shot the second film in the series, 28 Weeks Later.
The films are centred around the ‘rage’ virus – a pathogen which turns people into violently aggressive beings within seconds.
28 Days Later was the film that started it all, the movie reimaged and redefined the zombie genre.
It also revolutionized low-budget filmmaking, introducing a gritty, emotional tone.
One scene in the zombie flick is one of the most influential scenes to date, where viewers watch the film’s protagonist Jim (played by Cillian Murphy) wandering through an abandoned London in broad daylight.
These shots were captured by shutting down parts of the city early in the morning, creating a haunting atmosphere.
Since the excitement for 28 Years Later, people are now searching far and wide for a copy of the original 28 Days.
The first film in the franchise was independently financed and distributed by Fox Searchlight, meaning its Blu-ray availability is limited due to rights issues.
Coming across the DVD these days is rare, so many people who have it in their collections are making a pretty penny from those desperate to watch.
UniLad reported an eBay listing showing a 28 Days Later DVD selling for nearly £150.
