The follow up to Danny Boyle’s captivating 2002 horror movie 28 Days Later..., 28 Weeks Later picks up the story of a United Kingdom ravaged by a very dangerous virus at a point when the epidemic is thought to be over and the situation under control.
A section of London is set up by the military to begin repopulating the nation, but not everything goes as planned.
As sequels go, this one is actually quite successful. The premise is solid and the screenplay, while at times uneven, fairly good. Fundamental for this genre, the suspense is tight throughout and the very good makeup and visual effects help in no small way.
The acting is good as well, thanks primarily to Robert Carlyle and Jeremy Renner, although you do find yourself questioning a few choices made by the characters, but, like I said, the screenplay is not leak-proof.
Overall, a good horror movie.
Grade: 7
