28 Weeks Later
Eradication. Re-population. Re-infection.
28 Weeks Later is the sequel to Danny Boyle’s 2002 movie 28 Days Later
that followed a handful of survivors after a devastating virus has infected most
of the British population, sending its victims into a murderous rage.
Now, six months after the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles, the
US Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the
reconstruction of the country can begin. Under the strict supervision of the US
Military, the first wave of refugees is allowed back into the city. Among them
are Don (Robert Carlyle), his new girlfriend, Scarlett (Rose Byrne), and
Don’s two children. Don lost his wife during the original infection, while
Scarlett lost her entire family.
All seems under control until a new carrier of the virus makes his way within
the quarantined area. As the only known live specimen, he becomes a vital tool
to the scientists who hope to learn from their discovery. Call it carelessness
or call it bad luck, but the virus eventually spreads once again and now may be
even more difficult to contain than the first time around…

- " It's films like this that underline why zombie movies have such staying power. " – Alex Gordon
- " Intelligently executed, having the integrity to be about the story rather than the cheap thrills. " – Matthew Lucas
