28 Days Later was a horror film released in 2002 to considerable audience and critical acclaim as a visceral, gritty, original horror from mastermind and recent Academy Award winner (for Slumdog Millionaire) Danny Boyle. When a sequel was announced, few, myself included, really expected it to be any good, but alas, this is a film that understands ...  Read the complete review

This film is a follow on to the film 28 Days Later and apparently a third film in the series is planned called 28 Months Later so I reckon I could make a killing betting on what the fourth film in the series will be called. This is certainly not the worst horror movie that I have seen and as far as sequels go it was not bad. In a world ...  Read the complete review

At first this looks like another lazy sequel. Keep the same story, change the title a little, swap all the main characters, add some Americans, plonk a random director in and hear the cash registers ching away. But it's not quite as bad as it seems. For one thing the sequel is leap-frogging off a strong original. 28 Days... was from ...  Read the complete review

From the moment back in 1898 in "War of the Worlds" when HG Wells first imagined London's population using the defeated Martians' alien plants as kindling for their fires, most post-apocalyptic works of art have had to deal with the ideas of reconstruction and rebirth. Without that, it would not be "post-" and most stories ...  Read the complete review

28 Days Later is one of my all time favourite films, so I had to see this. It's difficult to know where to start with this film, I suppose a comparison with the first would be a good start (I've tried not to include any major spoilers) The director obviously emulated Boyle's style so far as the jerky camera, the ...  Read the complete review

As a massive fan of the first movie '28 days later', I have to say that this film was a complete and utter let down! Rated 18, 28 Weeks Later feels like a bad attempt to cash in on what the first movie begun to do, to milk it for all it was worth. In contrast to the first movie, this one wasn't cutting edge in it's content, wasn't edgy ...  Read the complete review

I am usually not one for horror movies; I used to be scared of Teletubbies. However, I found that 28 Days Later, the prequel to this, made me scared not because of the crazy blood seeking zombie like things, but because of the fact that this might actually come true. Nonetheless, I could watch it, I didn't find it too scary, is I was willing to ...  Read the complete review

An occasionally entertaining, mediocre horror film that isnt a patch on the original, despite the presence of highly versative actor Robert Carlyle. For those unfamiliar with 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 ...  Read the complete review

I was looking forward to this film ever since seeing the first one, and it didnt disapoint me... however, I really didnt agree with the whole Americans-save-the-day attitude it took. It was still a fantastic movie, and very enjoyable throughout, and many would probably have said 'it was gonna happen sooner or later' but I think a ...  Read the complete review

I 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 ...  Read the complete review

The sequel to 28 days later I found this movie to be a very enjoyable zombie movie romp. I found the first movie very enjoyable but I feel that this sequel surpasses that effort. The film is definetly set on the same premise as the first movie, the american army are called in to contain the virus which happens for a short while but it ...  Read the complete review

The sequel to Danny Boyle's brutal horror flick, 28 days later, follows on where events from the last film let off. Just to recap for those at the back, a group of animal rights activists had broken into a lab and, in a totally mis-guided attempt to free some lab monkeys, managed to release a deadly virus in the process when one of them got bit. ...  Read the complete review

I was really looking forward to this film, not only was the first film "28 Days Later" a really good but it had Robert Carlisle in it. Unfortunately it dissapointed me which is a shame because the idea is good, but the story behind it was quite poor really. A lot of the film became just a pure gorefest and just seemed to lose the plot ...  Read the complete review
