Excessively Violent & Emotionless

Rating: 5/10 (19 September 2017)

28 Weeks Later is certainly not a bad movie by any means. This is why people's subjective points of view are unneeded. If you want a horror movie with lots of blood and violence, quick editing, choppy cuts, followed by more violence, etc. this one supersedes 28 Days Later by a mile.
For me (note: me; what I experienced, not the foreshadowing of your experience) there was a mean spirited vibe throughout the entire film. I felt like I was just watching bodies pile followed by close-ups of brutality with In A Heartbeat (the score from the previous film) being played GOD KNOWS how many times.
My biggest gripe was with the thumb-in-eye thing: what the hell? Boyle did this in the first one to show human behavior in a state of rage and survival and how it mirrored the behaviors of the infected. They throw in Don newly infected doing it to his wife while she was strapped to a bed; seriously? From then on the movie leaves horror territory and starts becoming a sadist's playground.
