Talk:The Rising (Keene novel)

"Apparently the experiment has opened some sort of interdimensional rift allowing these demons to possess the dead." Now, English might not be my first language, but doesn't this sound like something a 13-year old kid would write, not an encyclopedia article? Talber 09:34, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Possible Rip-Offs
Err, does anyone else notice the uncanny similarities between this novel and the novel Cell and the film 28 days later? Possibly worth mentioning?144.135.180.109 (talk) 07:24, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Can't see it myself. Also you would need verifiable sources for any such commentary. :: Kevinalewis  : (Talk Page) /(Desk)  07:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't see the connection at all to 28 Day Later. Please elaborate. -137.44.1.200 (talk) 17:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Well theres a plague of zombie like monsters, the world is going down the tube, the army tries in vain to stop it, then all of a sudden they start listening to a loony and poof! they start trying to create a breeding program with people who are...less than willing. Oh and one of the soldiers doesn't like it.144.135.180.109 (talk) 04:38, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

For the record. _ 28 Days Later is a 2002 film about a viral infection that has an effect like rabies on the living. _ The Cell (novel) by Stephen King is a 2006 novel about a cellphone pulse that turns "phoners" into murderous killers who connect into a "hive mind". _ The Rising is a 2004 novel about reanimation of the dead by demonic possession; the demons are evil but intelligent killers. In the first two the monsters are living people, not reanimated dead as in the third. They are all us-v-them apocalypses but the premises are different. You could say they were all rip-offs of Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend" 1954 novel. Or you could say they are variations on a theme. -- Naaman Brown (talk) 21:28, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
