PLOT SUMMARY

Following the devastating outbreak of the rage virus, the last survivors have been evacuated from Britain. Six months later, a group of Americans arrive to get the country up and running again - but it's not as empty as it seems...

CAPSULE REVIEW

28 Weeks Later is everything one could have hoped for - a proper sequel, with big ideas and bigger guns, plenty of infected action (they even behave more like actual zombies here, taking bites out of everyone within each) and some likeable characters to root for amid all the chaos. It's also, like the original commendably straight faced, with no smirking humour or throwaway one liners to interrupt the unremittingly grim ambience. All in all, a more than worthy follow-up and one that should please fans of the original, though whether it will win over any of the first film's detractors is doubtful. (Full Review)
