A Worthy sequel, with one of the greatest openings ever

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2010)

It's very rare that a sequel encapsulates the look and style of the original under s different director. However, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo successful takes over the reins from Danny Boyle.
In 28 weeks the US Army secure a small area of London for the survivors to repopulate and start again. The story is told from Don's (Robert Carlyle) and his children point of view, exceptionally acted by Imogen Poots and Mackintosh Muggleton giving the film a grounded personal feel and Catherine McCormack is great a part of the supporting cast.
Fresnadillo builds up the tension splendidly and keeps you on the edge to the final as the soldier played exceptionally by Jeremy Renner who tries to get the children to safety. With excellent makeup, effects, great cinematography and a pulse pumping emotional strong score by John Murphy, it's the perfect grounded horror film.
A completely plausible worthy sequel that has possibly one of the greatest openings to horror thriller ever.
