Just an all around poor movie.......

Rating: 3/10 (26 April 2008)

No real need for a detailed dissection in my opinion. Even most die-hard horror fans will find this flick a disappointment. Built on a poor premise to set up the action, I found the characters unlikeable and stereotypical. The usual meddlesome kids and the anti-hero army type. The shaky camera affect, while affective and unnerving in 28 Days, is just annoying in the sequel. Anti-climatic ending combined with the standard set-up for a third film, probably set in Japan judging by the accents broadcast over the distress radio promise more pain down the road. The original film was groundbreaking and inspired moments of real terror while this piece is barely worth a rental and a big disappointment considering the hype given pre-release.
