A tenser sequel!

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2015)

"28 Days later" was a surprise hit when released, and though it didn't do as well at the box office, I feel its sequel "28 Weeks Later" is a much more action packed thriller than its predecessor. It is 6 months after the rage virus has swept through London. The city has been cleared of all infected victims, and is now starting to repopulate. However, when two children are reunited with their father, who survived an attack at a farmhouse, and seemingly saw his wife killed, they find their mom has also survived, and is an immune carrier of the virus. She inflicts the virus at the hospital where she's being treated, and hell breaks loose as a doctor tries to save the children from the onslaught of infected, since they might carry a cure in their bloodstream. A great turn by pre-"Hurt Locker" Jeremy Renner as an American soldier who tries to aid the escaping group, as well as Rose Byrne playing the sympathetic doctor. In my mind, much more action than the original movie, and the film keeps you on your seat's edge.
