Better than first, Best horror/thriller in some time.. Excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2007)

it's only been a couple of hours since watching, and i'm sure i'll come up with a few plot holes over time, like why he did this? could that have really happened? etc.. but that's not important because there was only one moment i felt distracted like that during the film, and even then it was explained soon after.. but i haven't been on the edge of my seat for an entire film for a very long time.. 24 being the only thing in recent memory to get my adrenaline pumping.
The sense of dread in this film is amazing, the action is perfectly timed and paced, it is just one of those films where the audience literally gasps a sigh of relief when the credits start to roll.
If you thought the first film had a good premise, but felt lacking in some way, particularly thrills, then you will love this film.
My friend made a good comparison, 28 Weeks Later as a sequel is similar to Aliens.. in Alien it was a small group of people, the enemy was new.. in both sequels, the enemy is known, and the guns are loaded, yet it still manages to make you feel like there is no escape. Alien was an example in tension, Aliens was an example of the emotions felt on a roller-coaster ride. The same applies to the 28 films.
Ps. they took full advantage of and made London look amazing, its probably one of the best films to sell the city, even if it is full of crazy zombies!!
