Oh, this movie could have been awful. 28 Days Later, a little independant horror film that became a surprise hit, just begged for follow-up. What happened to the survivors? They went through so much. Well, this won’t tell you. As a matter of fact, I don’t think you need to see the first one at all to follow along with this one.
I really enjoyed this movie. Horror movie sequels, admit it, are hit or miss. Usually miss. But I was always fascinated by the original plot point that turned the island of Britian into a quarantined zone. They just let all the infected people die of starvation. Then in swoops the US Army to rebuild and repatriate the area. And guess what? No one knows anything about the disease that killed everyone. They have no cure or vaccine. So they bring in 15,000 citizens to live in a “safe zone” in London to go ahead and get everything started back up. And everything goes to hell. And the Army starts to shoot everyone.
It was fun and it was worthy of watching. I love the fact that it is a horror movie, but it isn’t. And it is a zombie movie, but it’s not. Even as a sequel, it is still more original than most of the other efforts that are supposed to scare us. You can feel the characters’ bad decisions in the pit of your stomach. Would it be overly indulgent to hope there will be a third installment of this wicked story? So be it.
