I remember watching 28 Days Later (2002) a long time ago and thinking that it was a great zombie classic. And this sequel lives up to it pretty well. It doesn't top the first movie, put it offers plenty of explosive zombie gore and buckets of blood, some intense atmosphere and the cast does a good job. Imogen Poots, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner and Mackintosh Muggleton are strong and believable in their roles. It offers the same gritty and shaky camera work that its predecessor had, and even recycles its musical theme. This sequel is also interesting because it deals with themes of mass hysteria and human nature. Overall, I was entertained by it, 28 Weeks Later is a good and gory horror follow up to a classic genre pic, and I really hope that those talks about other future sequels being in the works are really happening.
