The Second Installment Of A Possible Genuine Classic Trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2007)

'28 Days Later' is a bit of a classic, it's originality is matched by it's audacity and imagination, director Danny Boyle offering up some iconic images that stay with you. When i first heard there was going to be a sequel to it i didn't think much of it, an inferior sequel surely? No Boyle, Garland or it's original stars, how could this live up to it? But then the director of 'Intacto' jumped on board and Robert Caryle was cast and suddenly there was something to get excited about. This is quite possibly one of the best sequels to a movie i've ever seen. I'm not going to go into the story but what i am going to say is that it's harrowing, genuinely terrifying, grim, beautiful, darkly funny and extremely clever with some outstanding performances from all involved. The original score is back and if Boyle directed it he would have been proud.
