Excellent sequel

Rating: 7/10 (14 May 2007)

A film should always be judged by what it wanted to be in the first place... This film wanted to be a sequel to a very simple horror film. The first film posed the question: "What happens if and entire country was infected with a zombie inducing virus?", the sequel looks at the obvious follow on question: "What happens when the zombies die out?".
28 weeks after the first film concludes, the US army (under the NATO banner) has moved into London to start rebuilding. Exactly as you would suspect, the Virus has been long dormant (presumed dead), and the population is slowly starting to rebuild.
Throw in a nicely thought out revival of the virus, some nice if stereotyped characters, and let the fun begin.
The movie moves along well (at barely over and hour and a half), characters make all the classic "oh no" decisions, it's good gory fun.
If you enjoyed the first, then you'll love the sequel.
