They have to work their way across London to meet his helicopter pilot friend who can take them to safety in France. What follows is the attempted survival of Tammy, Andy, a medical soldier who thinks Andy has the cure in his blood & a sniper who abandoned his post when told to fire on everyone, not just infected. It doesn’t take long for the military to lose control of the base with infected Don going on a rampage that just spreads the virus like a fire. The way in which the virus takes over is incredibly brutal, twisting the body & destroying the man until there is no humanity left. He made a snap decision & has had to live with it but now he’s paying with his life. I found Don to be a likeable man who loved his wife & kids. Here we go again…ĭon’s change is as brutal as Frank’s in the first…this has got to my favourite part of this movie. She does & he kisses her & is promptly infected. This danger is realised when Don visits her & asks for forgiveness. She isn’t showing any symptoms but she can pass it on to others, this makes her highly dangerous. Alice is put in isolation & upon testing discovered to have the virus but in a dormant state. The kids & her are picked up soldiers & returned to District One. She isn’t an infected but something isn’t right with her. It’s not quite as effective as the first film but that sense of isolation is paramount & the spookiness of the silent dead streets is haunting.Īrriving at their house they discover their mother alive but in a semi-feral state. It is a good chance for them to show off the destroyed & decaying streets of London. The infected might all be dead but the risk of disease, wild animals & other potential accidents suggests these kids are wilfully stupid. Why do they do this? So they can get a picture of their mother for Andy from their nearby old home. It’s these guys who see Tammy & Andy slipping out of the safe zone. Seems to me like he made a choice that kept a parent alive for his kids.Īnyway, life seems good in District One if not a bit restrictive thanks to the huge military presence, the area being protected by a group of snipers. What else could he have done? He didn’t have a weapon & the infected were in the room. Considering they had 2 children survival was quite important, these aren’t slow moving zombies but violent fast infected that can change you within an instant. You see, she was as good as dead as far as I can see & he would have been dead as well. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to think Don is a bit of a git for leaving his wife. He tells them everything but leaves out the crucial part about him leaving her instead implying he saw her die. Re-united with his kids Don is quizzed about the exact events that saw the kids lose their mother. His skills seemingly so in demand that he as an ‘access all areas’ pass (this will come up again later in the film). They were at a boarding school in Spain when the outbreak hit & haven’t seen their parents since.ĭon, having hooked up with the army now uses his engineering skills to keep District One (safe zone on the Isle of Dogs) going. Among this group are 2 children, Tammy & Andy who are the children of Don. 28 weeks after the initial outbreak the Americans come to help re-populace London bringing in the first settlers. Over the next couple of months the infected die of starvation & London is declared infection free. The shot of Don running for his life while chased by 20 infected is terrifying. It’s a great reminder of the threat the infected pose, just how quickly the virus spreads & the danger that comes from even one at your doors. This opening sequence is incredible & harrowing to watch. Under attack almost all the survivors are killed & Don abandons Alice (I kind of have a different view on this that I will get to) escaping to a motorboat nearby. After answering the frantic calls of a young boy who they allow inside they discover he was followed by the infected.
28 WEEKS LATER GAME MOVIE
Opening during the initial 28 days of the first movie we meet Don (played by an excellent Robert Carlyle) & his wife, Alice (played by an excellent Catherine McCormack) who are hiding out in a farmhouse outside London alongside a handful of other survivors. Any sequel would be hard-pushed to match let alone better the quality that evident throughout the first.ĥ years after its release we have our sequel, cleverly titled 28 Weeks Later.
28 Days Later was a film that probably didn’t need a sequel.
