28 Weeks Later (2007, GBR/SPA) C-100m. SCOPE **˝ D: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Starring Catherine McCormack, Robert Carlyle, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau, Imogen Poots. Pretty good sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 DAYS LATER… (2002) takes place when all of Britain has been evacuated and the Rage Virus has been stopped. Now, in an operation controlled by U.S. armed forces, London is about to be repopulated. Carlyle, who barely survived the onslaught with a bad conscience as he left his wife behind, is expecting his son and daughter to join him as some of the first new inhabitants. As it turns out, somebody infected with the Rage Virus has survived… Fairly exciting, effectively edited zombie horror movie shows no mercy towards the children. The plot is only so-so, but horror fans should give it a look. Good score by John Murphy. Executive produced by Alex Garland and Danny Boyle (who is said to have done some 2nd unit directing). |
