Fresnadillo's wit and a defense against his merciless rigorĢ8 Weeks Later, the sequel to 2003's powerfully creepy 28 Days Later, feels more terrifying for its sinister implications. The last shot brought a burst of laughter at the screening I attended, a reaction that seemed to me both an acknowledgment of Mr. It is also bracingly smart, both in its ideas and in its techniques.

#28 weeks later cast movie

It is brutal and almost exhaustingly terrifying, as any respectable zombie movie should be. The frenetic pace allows him to make his points vividly without dwelling on the horror so that the film speeds along to its shattering climax and cautionary codaĢ8 Weeks Later is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach. For once, there is a happy absence of misogyny in a horror movie, though the body count is high as a result of Fresnadillo's expert technique and imaginative eye for carnage. Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's 28 Weeks Later, a sequel to Danny Boyle's admired zombie chiller 28 Days Later, is a ferociously entertaining thriller with sympathetic characters, stunning set pieces and pulsating excitement. But the filmmakers also appreciate what it feels like to be living day to day in limbo, as if with the mute button on Fresnadillo (director of the cool 2002 Spanish thriller Intacto) and his screenwriting team have a good feeling for big-city emptiness - famous London landmarks that might just as well be rubble, so ghostly do they look. All around the movie keeps you going because it is an immersive experience and not just a 'poke-your-finger' kind of experience.28 Weeks Later excels at creating a keen, creepy sense of a civilization stopped dead in its tracks - vaporized, almost, except for those disemboweled bodies left still undisposed. 28 Days Later doesn't forget 'the Master' either and offers an obvious and unobtrusive tribute to Dawn of the Dead. I guess it's one of those rare horror films which not only enlighten the viewer with nice, gory slaughters but also with a share of psychological goodies. Looking at Children of Men might offer some insight into what it feels like to have no future and this itself may clear the way to appreciating 28 Days Later. While most horror films will offer a relatively exciting ride with little more than sparse scares, Danny Boyle's movie sheds a new light on the survival instinct of human beings which can damned well spook the living hell out of you - even if not in the traditional sense. As may have guessed by now, this will be a story of survival. Man-kind seems to have been wiped out by a contagious virus which induces a sort of blind rage upon those who fall prey to it. Otherwise how could one explain the fact that the most acclaimed zombie films are parodies of the genre? 28 Days Later shares a striking resemblance with Resident Evil, in that it kind of starts where RE left off: after one of the most exciting intro sequences I have ever witnessed (!), a lonely average-Joe, (Jim in this particular case) wakes up in a deserted London and takes a jolly good walk through the intimidatingly empty streets. It stands up on its own in a genre which is frequently plagued by a sort of innate stupidity, a consequence of one too many dead people.

Probably since Romero's classics, if I recall accurately. As it so happens, 28 Days Later is the best zombie movie in the last few decades.
