28 weeks later....the zombified Britain

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2007)

I went to the cinema to watch this film last Wednesday. I enjoyed 28 days later and as soon as i knew this was released I had to see it. Wow i was not disappointed. I was on the edge of my seat right from the beginning and genuinely terrified too. The zombies (or infected as they are known in both movies) scared the daylights out of me as they could run, and I mean they could run fast. I'm surprised that most of the characters were able to out run them. I mean unless you are Linford Christie, you would be so wasted of energy if you kept running from these things, but eventually they would get you and kill you. I was mostly breathless throughout this movie as it is very intense and i was nearly screaming at the screen "run for your lives and don't look back" because i was so involved with this picture. The director did a great job creating an atmosphere that you never felt safe at all and you easily thought that most of the characters were going to run into these things any minute when they thought they were safe. This film didn't drag at all, the action came thick and fast and it was genuinely terrifying. I mean being from London seeing it a complete ghost town made my hairs stand on end. I do love this movie for it's atmosphere and yes there is a good amount of gore to please blood thirsty horror fans, but it also carries a message and that stands out a mile. If you don't see it then there must be something wrong with you. 28 Weeks Later is basically a British version of Dawn of the Dead (remake) and my opinion is it's much better. RULE BRITAINNIA!!!
