28 Weeks Later

(2007) Here’s a sequel that subscribes to the “The last was one pretty bloody, so let’s make this one even bloodier” school of sequel-making. 28 Days Later was pretty good until the last twenty minutes, when it degenerated into a ho-hum bloodbath. So they started this one with a bloodbath, and had another every twenty minutes. You begin to wonder how these virus-crazed rage zombies can bleed so much from every orifice and not keel over dead in ten minutes. Then you stop wondering about anything, except how did this piece of shit manage a 78 score at Metacritic?
