...was without doubt the scariest film I have ever seen at the cinema. Not only did I have to leave the screening for twenty minutes because I was so freaked out, but I also had nightmares about yellow-eyed zombies for weeks. So how could the sequel possibly compare? And why on earth did I willingly go to see it? Well "28 Weeks Later" is a very different kind of film that has far more Hollywood gloss, so is much easier to dismiss as a simple work of ...

Review of 28 Weeks Later (DVD)

...the plot, in the original, 28 Days Later, a virus has infected all of England, turning people into zombies. In a move which detracts from traditional zombie horror, however, the zombies are able to run -- fast. Before you can say 'typical sequel' the virus is under control and several hundred English survivors are contained in a facility supervised by the american government. Needless to say, there is a second outbreak. The first movie was incredibly ...
...directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) were the films only main redeeming qualities. Particularly the opening scene, panning the whole of England from a helicopter and explaining the transition between the two movies in text form, as a downbeat, stimulation bass track plays in the background. This awesome piece of cinematography was very much akin to the original, but promised far more than the sequel could deliver. The characterization ...

...had a better storyline. With 28 Days later, you got to know the characters and you felt sorry for them. Over time you saw their story develop and that made you want them to make it. Here, you don't know as much about the characters but you do see the children throughout the film and so they become the "stars of the show" so to speak. The music is great, very sinister and creepy! Very good composition there! I thought this film was brilliant, I ...
...better! If I had one thing to say about the film, it would be that the ending is a bit abrupt. They just showed you a scene in Paris with infected running towards the Eiffel Tower. Hopefully they explain that in the next film. I don't know how much it was (I got this for my birthday along with the first) but I've seen it for £10 in Tesco and I have to say that is a great price for this film. If you want to watch a good film full of suspense and terror, ...

Review of 28 Weeks Later (DVD)

...it restarts from there. 28 weeks later is the sequel to the movie 28 days later. This movie is an insane follow up to the original with more death scenes then ever before and more infected roaming the streets. The opening scenes was absolutely scary and made a great introduction to the movie. In the entire movie you will see many death scenes with the infected kill almost all forms of life and brutally, eating one another's organs. A fast paced ...
...quickly and sets the bar really high for other movies such as dawn of the dead and doomsday. Most zombie movies have slow moving zombies and which seem really weak but this movie has strong quick moving zombies. The director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has not done many movies or much work but came up with a magnificent piece of work which makes most horror movies seem like a comedy. Conclusion A great fright fest with many horrifying death scenes, ...

Review of 28 Weeks Later (DVD)

...was a huge fan of 28 days later and I had high hopes for the second installment of this franchise, even though it was going to have a new director. In many ways the first film (28 days later) was scarier...particularly at the start when our star woke to find London a ghost town and the ensuing chases freaked me out, but the second, I feel has the better plot on the whole. I quantify this by saying I didn't enjoy the end of the first film with the ...
...start a great film. 28 weeks later opens with a scene of almost normality...people sat by candleight enjoying a meal...but you just know that something is amiss and it doesn't take long for that to be proven! We then have chase after chase, which is exciting and exhilirating, you are willing the cast to get away! London is to be repopulated in the second film and we see a heavy US presence in London...no doubt itching to get their hands on our real ...

Review of 28 Weeks Later (DVD)

28 weeks later tells the story of what happens after 28 weeks of infestation in England. The movie follows a family that was split up because of the viral outbreak, a surviving father and his daughter and son. The mother is lost and given up for dead. US forces have been able to contain and control the outbreak, building and populating a small portion of the city for survivors. The outer areas are cordoned off, for they are still deemed unsafe and ...
...normal, the threat seems past, a long gone nightmare. But all it takes to spread the virus, is blood, saliva, and other bodily fluids. The infected aren't necessarily "Zombies" from other various popular movie lore. They don't eat flesh, they don't shamble around aimlessly, and they aren't the dead re-animated. In fact, the infected simply exist to kill and tear people apart with animalistic aggression. Ripping out throats, biting, clawing, beating, ...
