Fast-paced and Frenetic!

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2007)

For starters, let's NOT call this a zombie horror film. The reason I make that statement is because, just like in the first film; discerning critics wanted to negatively slam the movie (despite the successful wide appeal it received) because it isn't in the same vein as a George Romero zombie thriller. I'd like to categorize this movie as an "apocalyptic horror" genre film. As we saw in the last film "28 Days Later", the rage virus contagion seemed to burn itself out and "The Infected" began to starve themselves to death ...due to the lack of their sustenance feeding on the "uninfected". So being that Britian has been declared free of infection, the American Armed Forces help lend a hand in repopulating the country with surviving refugees. However, despite the precautions taken securing the small populace within the safety-zone; a small remnant of the contagion still exists on the outside. Which where only in a matter of time, the contagion infiltrates the militarized complex and rapidly spreads again among the populace! Some very good tense moments in this film, and it enables the viewers to somehow put themselves in the same shoes as the characters in the movie. The ending was superb, I'm surely positive there will be a sequel called "28 Months Later".
