Bloody good sequel to the franchise

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2007)

28 WEEKS LATER (2007) ***1/2 Robert Carlyle, Catherine McCormack, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, Imogen Poots, Mackintosh Muggleton, Harold Perrineau., Idris Elba.. Excellent sequel to "28 DAYS LATER" about a 'rage virus' pandemic that unleashes zombie-like symptoms upon the recovering British populace with a family attempting to outrun the plague with the assist of some sympathetic American soldiers embedded for the apocalyptic showdown. Infused with adrenaline pumping action sequences and more scary the terrifying silences created by newcomer director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo inheriting the mantle from executive producing filmmaker Danny Boyle, aided and abetted by the maddeningly herky- jerky yet affective cinematography by Enrique Chediak and the jarringly bombastic score by John Murphy sends a shock to the system and unnerves the gooseflesh from the core dread of the unexpected ready to pounce. Bloody good ongoing chapter in the ensuing franchise.
