Gore Cash-In

Rating: 4/10 (20 May 2007)

28 Weeks Later -depressing sequel to the hopped up rage zombie flick 28 Days Later. Different director,different cast and not as interesting.Gone is the Omega Man /Quiet Earth feel of the first one.There are some exhilarating sequences in this puppy- but most of the movie feels like a snuff flick- we see just endless scenes of people being mowed down.Plotholesdo their best to strip this movie of any logic.Pretty much a waste of Robert Carlisle & Idiris Alba.I admit I really liked the first flick in this series directed by Danny Boyle- but this one just felt like a gore cash-in. The movie does have some good moments highlighted by a dramatic score- but not worth trekking out to the local cinema C-
