Film fans are being urged to check their DVD collections as a rare film is 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 the latest films or an older flick with a click of a button in the comfort of their own home.
Although the evolution of home entertainment technology is a great way to watch films, most streaming platforms keep them up for a short time.
A certain film may come to mind to watch, but when searching sites such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Disney+ + the title is nowhere to be found.
This is exactly what is happening currently with one DVD, and fans are scrambling to find a copy, even willing to pay hundreds for one.
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 horror films 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 has spread across the world.
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 shared an eBay listing showing a 28 Days Later DVD selling for nearly £150.
So it could be worth checking if you have one in your possession.
