When I finished this flick, there was only 1 thing in my mind - what have I missed? Man… is this flick awesome or what? In every way, people. It rocked my ass like a hurricane. It has been some time since I’ve enjoyed a horror flick so damn fucking much. Apparently, this movie is the sequel to another popular title - “28 Days Later”. But prior watching this, I have no idea what this movie’s all about. I thought it was just another outbreak film, you know, like a souped up Ebola virus or something like that?

Anyway, it turned out to be quite different and very much more than that. It is about an outbreak alright. Not just any outbreak but, a super badass one. Instead of just die (borrring), the infected person would turn into a deranged + rabid demon that goes around and attack any non-infected person he sees. Those that got bitten or had fluid transfusion (such as the act of kissing would) will get infected as well and will transform into ‘one of them’ in the matter of seconds. And that was how it got the whole Britain swept clean (which was told by the first flick - “28 Days Later” - gotta watch that someday)

“28 Weeks Later” is about the aftermath of the first outbreak - which sees the city of London recovering from it’s apocalyptic episode. The main plot revolves around the tale of 2 kids - who have been living out of Britain during the outbreak - returning to a tightly guarded quarantine camp in London to rendezvous with their surviving father. The father, having earlier abandoned his wife to save his own ass, concocts a different tale about what happened and tells the kids that their mother was dead. The kids later discover that it’s not true, after they sneaked out of the quarantine camp to visit their old home and saw that their mother is not only alive, but she did not turn into ‘one of them’ (but instead, became a carrier), which the authorities later discover was due to her heterochromia trait (a condition where a person has an iris different color from the other) when she was brought back to the camp for treatment.

The father would later go to ask for his surviving wife’s forgiveness… during which, he kisses the bitch and turn himself into ‘one of them’. From there, the father wreaks havoc from inside and soon, got the whole camp out of control and triggers the military code red that calls for a total extermination of every civilian - infected or not. From there, the few main characters would attempt to protect the 2 kids (one of them who inherited the heterochromia and immune to the virus) and escape from both the infected bloodthirsty demons and military genocide. Adventure ensues.

What I like about this film, is that it has very little bullshit like boring dialogs and such. It was a hit right to the point and was full of gripping action in every minute of it. It was very gory (chopper blades mutilating those demons - you’ve got to see that), very dark and was so realistic that it exudes a coppery feel of blood from the screen. (the part about that dark quarantine attack and subway full of decomposing corpses were superb). In short, this movie was fucking brilliant. If you think flicks like “Silent Hill”, “Dawn of the Dead” or even that comedic “Planet Terror” are good, this one’s going to make them look like a Saturday morning cartoon show. I’d say, if there is a flick which every horror movie should make an example of - it would be this one.

And because I enjoyed it so damn much? I’d give it a 9 out of 10.
