The military looking over at one another as the split screen of the ragers slowly scrolling to the left was a perfect representation of the infected and their rapid take over on humanity. All the while the base built to protect the refugees is now a death zone.Дirector Juan Carlos Fresnadillo does an excellent job providing the audience with a shock of the revival of the Rage virus, as it spreads in a frantic and rather scattered sequence played through red lenses, and the rapid spread of the disease filmed through random light from flashlights and air ducts. This brings about an utterly wrenching moment where our rooftop group of snipers are swallowing their emotions, and picking off anyone who may be a threat, even if theyвЂ™re trying to survive. What also remain, however, is the haunting and utterly spine tingling score that was apart of the immense charm of вЂњ28 Days Later.вЂќ Unlike вЂњHills 2,вЂќ the producers make mostly right moves, and provide an excellent sequel thatвЂ™s in-line with continuity, and pays great homage to the first film.ДЄs usual, the US military and their ill-informed units play a big part in the revival of the Rage Virus as soldiers and snipers are told to look out for anyone with the virus, and yet are still not sure who is infected, and who isnвЂ™t. ItвЂ™s a sure bet they made it thanks to вЂњ28 DaysвЂ¦вЂќ ending as the military began to intervene, but the questions remain. Why are those that arenвЂ™t infected, dead? What happened to all the bodies? And most of all, where did Jim, Selena, and Hannah go? And вЂњ28 Weeks LaterвЂќ performs the same task, and sadly never answers much of the same lingering questions. FOX Atomic takes the same approach they did for вЂњHills 2,вЂќ if the first film was great, jack it up with a little military, and a faster story.

IвЂ™m proud to say, fear not horror buffs, the вЂњ28вЂ¦вЂќ franchise is safe and tidy. No knock on the cast, but could this sequel get off the ground without Cillian Murphy, or Christopher Eccleston? Most of all, could this sequel achieve the slightest fraction of what the original offered us? With a cast thatвЂ™s not as notable as the original filmвЂ™s, вЂњ28 Weeks LaterвЂќ deserved a chance to be seen and held in high regard in spite of it. ItвЂ™s by far one of the best horror films IвЂ™ve ever seen, and Boyle proved his abilities further with it. It influenced many other horror entries, including the remake of Dawn of the Dead, and it garnered a hefty fan base.

вЂњ28 Days LaterвЂќ was an important milestone for horror films, even though many prefer to downplay it.

With a safe but creative marketing campaign, and providing beefy previews to the press, Fox Atomic has been confident about this sequel, and it soon connected to fans who, upon the glimpse of the trailer, soon were relieved that though the sequel screamed вЂњCash-in,вЂќ Fox Atomic understood what the original held in terms of influence and social consciousness. And once the Fox Atomic banner took the project, my faith wasnвЂ™t raised, especially after watching their hyped offering вЂњThe Hills Have Eyes 2.вЂќ Some were cynical, some disappointed, all doubted it could achieve the slightest bit of quality the original film did. ItвЂ™s not a secret that once a sequel was announced for the critically hailed вЂњ28 Days Later,вЂќ that many a horror fans raised a brow.
