Horridly bleak, philosophically intriguing

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2007)

What's so damn bleak and horrific about both 28 days and 28 weeks isn't the vomiting blood and violent murders that comes in spades, it's the unbeatable faceless nature of the "rage" virus that has leveled Britian. 28 weeks later is essentially a horror movie without anything close to a villain. Nobody to hate, nobody to confront, no target for revenge. Only total anonymous death to run from and wait out for years.
I combed over all the horrible decision making regarding the handling of the virus with a good friend of mine. Why did the U.S government feel that seven months was anywhere close to enough time to try to repopulate England? A Quarentine should have lasted several years at least. Secondly the French should have blown any airplanes out of the sky. Good flick.
