It had me until the wink

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2007)

When I walked into this movie I was not expecting a lot. A sequel made without the same director, or writer, or one member of the original cast seemed to me a direct to video movie. For the first half of the movie I was wrong. The opening scene with Robert Carlye was suspenseful and the start of the outbreak was great. It was the first horror movie since the remake of Hills have Eyes that my friends shut up and just watched. Unfortunately the mistake happens when the story focus on the two children of Robert Carlyle. Their Brother and Sister always protecting each other relationship was a downer because they always seemed to cause the disasters that they needed rescuing from. The look that Srgt Doyle gave the Doctor was more interesting than the siblings relationship. What finally killed it was the car scene where the character Doyle is pushing the car in the smoke. I would not try to ruin it for anyone, but after that scene the movie became predictable. I personally would see this movie for the first half, which was suspenseful, had great action, but was extremely gory and than go out and see another one when the car scene is over.
