28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later

IMDb writes, "Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary." Oh man - where to begin this is in my top 10 all time favorite zombie movies. The Walking Dead was inspired by movies like this. Britain got horror right and zombies at that. The Irish actor Murphy is the main character (Inception), Brit Eccleston (Shallow Grave) plays a military leader, and  Irishman Gleeson (Troy) plays a another survivor. The movie also examines who is the worst enemy the plague or people who are trying to survive a plague. All in all, I say: SEE IT
They should have stopped - there was no need for a sequel especially this one. Even though Carlyle (The Full Monty) is in it - it isn't very good. IMDb writes, "Six months after the rage virus was inflicted on the population of Great Britain, the US Army helps to secure a small area of London for the survivors to repopulate and start again. But not everything goes to plan." All zombie movie lovers know what happens when you try to secure an area - never goes as planned.. It's predictable, but not good predictable. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
