To add to the terror, he's deserting his wife.Īfter this shattering opening, we relax as a factual montage carries us through the various stages of the national catastrophe. A bravura five-minute sequence follows that includes rapidly edited close-ups of shock and gore and a tracking shot from a helicopter of Don (Robert Carlyle) running for his life.
Suddenly, a ferocious horde of crazed creatures attacks they are as terrifying but much more agile than their counterparts in George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Only when a door is opened do we realise there's bright sunshine in the green and pleasant countryside outside. This sequel begins in media res, assuming we know the earlier film, and there's a palpable sense of doom as three generations of Britons live on hoarded food in a boarded-up, candlelit house. In a matter of days, flesh-eating zombies have taken over the country, leaving a few survivors in London and a handful of soldiers outside Manchester. In that film, a holocaust is triggered by animal-rights activists releasing apes from a Cambridge laboratory where scientists are experimenting with a deadly virus. I think his new film superior to 28 Days Later, whose director Danny Boyle here functions as co-producer.
ROAD TO HELL FULL MOVIE MOVIE
28 Weeks Later is the second full-length movie by Spanish director Juan Fresnadillo, whose accomplished feature debut, the brilliant allegorical thriller Intacto, I thought underrated.
