28 Weeks Later

Scary...as...hell.

Yeah, this one is up there with Exorcism of Emily Rose. Maybe it was just because I'm screening it inside a dark auditorium alone at 2:30 in the morning but 28 Weeks Later was that damn scary.
The cinematography had a lot to do with it, as the fact that when you jump, you really jump cause it's loud.

If you have seen 28 days later then you know what is coming. The story begins as United States armed forces have entered London, England 24 weeks after the initial outbreak and insanity. All the zombies eventually died of starvation and the U.S. has confirmed that all carriers of the virus are dead. Or so they thought.

4 weeks later they begin to rebuild the city with certain zones and areas for people to begin living in again. Including children. Main character is a husband who is reunited with his children and explains that their mom died tragically due to the zombies. But the kids go back to their original house to see for sure and amazingly the son finds his mother still alive. She is taken by Armed Forces to be studied and she is apparently immune to the virus but still a carrier. Her husband who has access to all parts of the building ends up finding his wife and is overjoyed. He goes to kiss her and she spreads the virus to him and then all hell breaks loose.
I haven't seen a movie where so many people die in a while, this movie is really good and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good scare. Flippin Nuts at times. So anyways go see it and I challenge you to disagree with me. Meh, not really...

9/10
