Well, in Danny Boyle&#8217;s <i>28 Days Later<\/i> (2002), we get a taste of that eerie feeling in some pretty iconic London filming locations around the city.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">In the movie&#8217;s opening scene, four weeks after a mysterious zombie virus takes over the UK, Cillian Murphy&#8217;s character awakes from a coma and strolls down a deserted Westminster Bridge with Big Ben looming majestically in the background. But this wasn&#8217;t CGI trickery! The film shut down the bridge for short periods in the early hours of the morning, capturing the chilling emptiness with real London landmarks.
