*** Stars 28 Weeks Later is one of those rare sequels that just tops its already successful predecessor. 28 Days Later was a great zombie flick, but the sequel gets scarier and more political, which in a way is the same thing.
Six months have passed since the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles. The U.S. Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin. As the first wave of refugees return, a family is reunited--but one of them unwittingly carries a terrible secret. The virus is not yet dead, and this time, showing no outward symptoms, it is more dangerous than ever.
Props to creator Danny Boyle and the rest of the team to make the story more political. In a world where we are at war, what better way to scare the hell out of an audience then to create a war that is literally uncontrollable?
