Noisy AND Repulsive

Rating: 3/10 (12 May 2007)

I saw this because I was impressed by 28 Days Later. It was thought-provoking and very disconcerting. 28 Weeks Later, however, pushes the boundaries way too far, to the point where it became revolting and extremely annoying.
Firstly, it was much too loud. I suppose the makers were trying to involve us by giving us a sense of the chaos the characters were enduring, but I really could have done without the headache that was inflicted on me.
The opening scene was bloody and violent, I was thankful when it was over, but my relief didn't last long. It seems every single scene in this movie was designed either to scare the daylights out of us or to revolt us with gore. After a while it got on my nerves and I longed for a bit of intelligent writing. There was a bit, but not enough to outweigh all the blood and guts and noise.
