Juan Carlos Fresnadillo Movie 28 WEEKS LATER : 28 weeks later the Rage Virus has played itself out, the U.S.
Army lifts the mandatory quarantine and begins helping British citizens repopulate a small section of London!
The victory is short lived when a carrier of the rage virus is discovered and brought inside the Green Zone!
Hellacious Movies Movie Review : The beginning of the movie had the horror fan inside me salivating!
Unfortunately that did not last long! The movie lost its intensity, focus and clarity! Instead it produced
bipolar moments of complete and total chaos mixed with manic moments of zombielicious brilliance!
What struck me as odd 28 DAYS LATER told a story deploring the ugly side of humanity when the chips are
stacked against them, it also gave a face to hope in a hopeless world! It did a wonderful balancing act!
Where as 28 WEEKS LATER embraces the policy of rage meets rage as the ultimate solution! It did not even
bother to address hope, muchless make us care one way or another about the main characters in the movie!
It was a cold, calculated action film! Two different directors (Danny Boyle vs Juan Carlos Fresnadillo),
two very different films! Truth is unlike its predacessor, 28 WEEKS LATER is just another Zombie Flick!
It was no "28 DAYS LATER" however it is no slouch either! I was particularly fond of a scene where a helicopter
pilot copped a baditude and got up close and personal with a zombie horde! It was Bloody Wicked Ripsnorting Fun!
